Rating: Summary: The Best Return for your Investment in a Cookbook :-D Review: It is very rare that I spluge on a hardback cookbook, but the return is well worth my money. This book has receipes for more than rice (e.g., beans, applesauce, oatmeal, soup, etc.). I did not realize my rice cooker was so versitile. The cooker is a perfect step down from a crockpot, which does not allow you to reduce the size of a recipe - so you are always cooking for a crowd. With this book, you can personalize the size of the recipes and most dishes are made completely in the rice cooker - EASY CLEAN UP :-D. No one thing that we have tried has been a miss. A must have for a new bride, gourmet, college student, bachelor, EVERY KITCHEN.
