Summary: This is a fabulous book for newlyweds who love to cook.
Comment: My husband and I love to cook together, and Rick Rodgers' book has given us a lot of inspiration! These are recipes that can be adapted easily for two people or for large groups, and the range of flavors makes for an original and tasty meal every night. The shrimp and green beans in spicy peanut sauce has become a weekly meal in our home, and we've also enjoyed the paella, all of the chicken dishes, the pork shops in beer-braised cabbage, and the Mongolian-style beef. Even the rice pudding turned out well. Bon appetit!

Summary: Every one a winner -- and most in 30 minutes!
Comment: I have another book by Rick Rodgers, and I really liked it, so when I saw this one I thought I'd check it out. Five recipes into it I wanted to head to the kitchen and cook. Before this book, I didn't cook meals with rice very often. I do now. The recipes are not complicated, and I always have the ingredients in my kitchen. The recipes that say "Can be cooked in under 30 minutes" really CAN be cooked in under 30 minutes. I haven't encountered a dud recipe yet. All are delicious. Among my favorites are Shrimp and Green Beans with Peanut Sauce, Chicken and Asparagus with Mustard-Tarragon Sauce and Sirloin and Black Bean Chili (in under 30 minutes no less!). This book is a boon to all those of us who work a long stressful day, and then have to come home and cook.

Summary: It's ok, but nothing special
Comment: There's a few good recipes, and many passable ones. The introduction and background info is very good, but there just isn't that much of it. The book sticks pretty much to toppings on plain rice, so it's nothing that you probably couldn't have gotten from a more expansive book.
