      PREFACE

      What qualifies me to write a rice cooker cookbook?

      That’s a good question!

      I am not a chef. I have no culinary training. I am not a Foodie, although I do like to eat.

      I have not cooked that much in my lifetime. It’s not something that I would choose to do. I figure, why cook, when I can open up a can of whatever, nuke it in my microwave, and carry on with my life?

      The alternative has always been to be stuck in front of a stove, watching the food so it doesn’t burn, and so on. That just seemed to be a little harder than what I wanted to do.

      I’ve been cooking rice in a rice cooker since the 1970s. That’s simple.

      Then a few years ago I saw a recipe for jambalaya in a rice cooker and I said to myself, Whoa. I could do that. So I did it, it came out great and I was so excited. I figured, this is a whole new mindset, now! I could even do this!

      Cooking a delicious one-pot meal in a rice cooker in about 30 minutes, now that’s more my speed. Press the cook button and then go watch TV or a video, then eat in a half hour.

      So I decided to come up with my own recipes. Meals that, in my opinion, really taste good. Meals that people would actually want to eat. So I started on my cooking adventure. I spent a ton of money on ingredients and several months of experimenting, cooking and re-cooking, getting the recipes just right.

      I picked ingredients and put them in certain combinations that I thought would taste good, which would work okay and would make a flavorful meal.

      So, what qualifies me to write a rice cooker cookbook? Just that I did it myself, experimenting one meal at a time, with the help and encouragement of others, and with feedback from many fine cooks in this State who tested my recipes and blessed me with their wonderful testimonials.

      If you see a recipe that you are thinking about passing up because it has too much seasoning or a seasoning you should not have, use the type and amount you are comfortable with. You’ll notice throughout this book comments from folks who have tried these recipes. Sometimes they’ll give you an idea of how they’ve adjusted a recipe to suit their taste. You can do that, too.

      As you will notice, I am partial to certain
