A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Rice Book is a must for every cook and anyone who is seriously interested in food. A brilliant cookbook, it is also the definitive encyclopedia of rice. The first part of the book covers the many varieties of rice; the nutritional value; its history and agriculture; the cults, cultures and myths which have grown up around it; and its importance through the ages. The second part is a comprehensive directory of nearly 200 recipes from as far afield as Afghanistan, the Philippines, Latin America, Korea, Iran, the Camargue, Japan, Russia and Louisiana.

Revue de presse

The ultimate source on paper --Guardian

A labour of love and extensive research. Sumatran-born Owen, an authority on Indonesian food, visited a dozen rice growing countries while preparing the definitive volume on the versatile grain. Lovingly packaged, it's a compelling mix of history - rice is part of the creation myth in Java, apparently - and 200 recipes drawn from nations as diverse as Afganistan and Korea. --Observer Food Monthly

An extremely practical book --Clarissa Dickson-Wright Independent
