One of the simplest recipes on the planet is to cook White Rice. Rice is something that’s a food staple the World over, and I’d say just about every nationality cooks & eats this seed in some way, shape or form. It’s ever popular in Asia & North America. Types of rice vary by geographical region, as well as the recipes in which it is prepared. It’s the perfect side dish, but doubles for main dishes as...

Oh the possibilities! Rice salads are a perfect addition to a summer feast...

Yes, I know there are instructions on the back of the box you buy to cook your rice… …But I’m trying to broaden your horizons and trying to keep you from cooking that 5-minute variety of converted rice. I want you to cook the unadulterated version of this staple food. There are many times I buy rice, for instance, at an Asian market, and I cannot read the instructions on the back because it’s in a completely...

That night, I was cleaning up a few...
