This book is so boring and uneventful to me

:(

I don’t feel any passion or pull for the characters and I’m really struggling with how their accepts are written.

This book has directions for a rice cooker and directions for a multipurpose cooker (like an instant pot, which is what I have)

Hummus and white bean dips look absolutely amazing and a great way to make a frugal recipe that uses pantry ingredients.

I love that there is a vegetarian chapter. Couscous chopped salad is one of my favorite things and I'm so happy to see pearled couscous featured! I plan on sharing the middle eastern rice with my kids, it seems like a nice way to introduce new flavors for us. I also want to try the lemon risotto since my daughter loves all things citrus.

Overall a very nice compilation of recipes with a variety of flavors. I think there's something for everyone in this cookbook. I wish I had something like this 12 years ago when I got a rice cooker for my wedding and never used it because I didn't need to make 'rice', haha.

While there's over 40 pictures, it left something to be desired for me. I love pictures in a cookbook and these were just okay. There were a number of pictures that were of a single ingredient in a recipe instead of the recipe itself. I don't mind this necessarily but when you only get pictures for less than half the recipes, it just made me sad.

Thanks NetGalley for the arc. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
