Reviews for The Simple Art of Rice: Recipes from Around the World for the Heart of Your Table

In The Simple Art of Rice, Chef JJ Johnson offers a love song to the world's second most popular grain. In the magistral volume, Johnson takes the reader on a worldwide tour of rice from the field to the kitchen and presents its history, cultivation, and multiple uses. Informative and fascinating to read, fun to cook from, it is a work that deserves a place on every cook's bookshelf. Jessica B. Harris, Culinary Historian, and author of High on the Hog JJ Johnson was born and raised at the intersection of rice cultures from the South, Caribbean and Latin America and schooled in the synthesis of African Atlantic and Asia-Pacific rim rice cookery; nobody is more prepared to bring you on a tour, a field trip if you will, through the world's most versatile and satisfying staple. This book is a gift to your palate. Michael W. Twitty, James Beard award-winning author and scholar Comforting, joyful and utterly delicious - this is an essential cookbook Jamie Oliver
