Can anybody recommend a rice cooker cookbook?
Somebody has asked for this for Christmas.
There seems to be only one; “The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook.”
Is it any good?
Are there others?
There are a number of books about cooking rice (the old fashioned way) but this seems to be the only rice cooker cook book. The two reviews below indicate this is a reasonably good book.
Review 1
The ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook
By Beth Hensperger & Julie Kaufmann
ISBN: 1558322027
Publisher: Harvard Common Press
Publication date: Jan. 2002
Format: hardcover
If you don’t have a rice cooker yet, chances are you will soon — their popularity is soaring. If you have one and don’t use it — gasp! — here is a book that will help you make full use of it. It goes well beyond the realm of rice, encouraging you to cook whole meals at once in the rice cooker. Soups, desserts, porridges, bean dishes, and much more show up, as do the pilafs, risottos, and other rice dishes that you would expect in a book on this subject. There is also lots of information on types of rice, and on different brands of rice cookers.
Following the comprehensive approach Hensperger has taken in her thousands of other cookbooks, the instructions and related information here are clear and comprehensive. We are not smitten with the light orange and light green type throughout the book, though, which are just a little hard to read.
A second review:
The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook
Review by Gourmetsleuth
Authors Beth Hensperger and Julie Kaufmann have written a “must have” cookbook if you have a rice cooker or are contemplating purchasing a rice cooker. The book has an invaluable section on the development of the rice cooker and 250 simple to follow recipes. There are many vegetarian recipes but a good sprinkling of meat, poultry and fish recipes too.
The Rice Cooker Machine
Ms Kaufmann does not recommend specific models but provides in-depth information so you can make a purchasing decision. All the basic features of a rice cooker are well described. If you already own a rice cooker this section is still useful so you can better understand the machines flexibility and the many ways it can be used.
Pot Of Rice
This section of the book provides descriptions of 25 types of rice. Learn about varieties that may be new to you and try new recipes included in the book.
Recipes
Just glance at the table of contents of the recipe section of the book and you can see the amazing versatility of the rice cooker machine. Each recipe tells you for which rice cooker the recipe is appropriate, the correct cycle setting and yield.
Rice categories include:
The perfect pot of rice – the basics to making perfect rice in your cooker.
Little meals – simple little recipes for everyday meals. These are very good for the dorm room or college cook.
Pilafs, Risotto, Sushi – These three sections include over 45 recipes from simple Pilaf to Italian Risotto with dried porcini mushrooms. There are even recipes for Arroz con Pollo and Rice Cooker Paella. Even learn to make sushi rice and use it to create your own California Roll sushi.
The Whole-grain Cooker – section describes and provides recipes for over a dozen grains including Barley, Rye Berries, Wheat Berries, Wild Rice, Bulgar, Quinoa, Couscous, Buckwheat Groats, Kasha, and Farro.
Hominy – Find recipes for posole (pozole) polenta, and grits
Porridges – The book goes far beyond basic oatmeal and includes recipes like Hot Apple Granola, Rice and Sweet Potato Porridge, Morning Rice Pudding, and Mixed Grain Porridge.
Beans and Legumes – This section of the book includes a handy chart of beans with the amount of water need to cook them and cooking time. Learn how to make Split Pea Soup, Vegetarian Chile, Frijoles Negros, and various lentil recipes.
Vegetables in the Rice Cooker – Includes eleven pages of tips, recipes and vegetable steaming basics.
Whole Meal Steam Cuisine – Complete meals in a pot include chicken breasts, halibut steaks, salmon, flank steak, sausages, and shrimp.
Little Bites – I would have never thought to steam tamales in a rice cooker but this is a terrific idea! There are lots of ideas for steaming little food “bundles” like dolmas, dumplings and rice in lotus leaves.
Desserts – Try puddings, poached fruits, brandied sauces andmore.
Rice Leftovers – I never realized you can reheat your rice to perfect temperature in your rice cooker! There are over 24 recipes and uses for your leftover rice.
Stocks – Recipes include stocks for game, turkey, vegetable, fish and chicken.

The New Grays Wild Game Cookbook: A Menu Cookbook $22.62 Game is ultimately the most American ingredient, the only possible food capable of establishing itself as a defining element in a true American cuisine. So writes Rebecca Gray in the Preface of The New Grays Wild Game Cookbook, and for the next 61 menus and 180 individual recipes she gives us what amounts to a celebration of wild game as the ultimate gourmet food. Here, in abundance, is the joy and exhilaration of preparing exquisitely matched accompaniments to beautifully prepared main dishes of venison, wild fowl, upland birds and other choice meats brought to the table by the North American hunter. Laid to rest, through anecdote, personal experience and technical exposition, is any vestige of the intimidation a cook might feel when faced with a justbagged bird. Extensively revised and updated from the original, The New Grays Wild Game Cookbook, in addition to separate, menufilled chapters on Venison, Water Fowl, Upland Birds and Mixed Bag (a collection of menus for such diverse prizes as wild sheep, mountain goat, bear, wild boar and rabbit), contains detailed and stylishlywritten chapters on Game Care (not the usual fielddressing and cutting instructions, but a carefullyresearched and wittilypresented discussion of what matters most to the cook) and A Few Suggestions (advice and opinion that respects the readers own experience while passing along nearly thirty years of absorbed interest in fine preparation of tasteful wild game meals). The New Grays Wild Game Cookbook treats wild game in its truest and broadest context. Wild game is that rarest of culinary ingredients: something that, quite literally, money cannot buy. Rebecca Gray knows this, and every recipe here celebrates it. So will anyone lucky enough to be served its menus.
