Summary
Among the staple foods most welcomed on southern tables--and on tables around the world--rice is without question the most versatile。 As Michael W。 Twitty observes， depending on regional tastes， rice may be enjoyed at breakfast， lunch， and dinner; as main dish， side dish， and snack; in dishes savory and sweet。 Filling and delicious， rice comes in numerous botanical varieties and offers a vast range of scents， tastes， and textures depending on how it is cooked。 In some dishes， it is crunchingly crispy; in others， soothingly smooth; in still others， somewhere right in between。 Commingled or paired with other foods， rice is indispensable to the foodways of the South。
As Twitty's fifty-one recipes deliciously demonstrate， rice stars in Creole， Acadian， soul food， Low Country， and Gulf Coast kitchens， as well as in the kitchens of cooks from around the world who are now at home in the South。 Exploring rice's culinary history and African diasporic identity， Twitty shows how to make the southern classics as well as international dishes--everything from Savannah Rice Waffles to Ghanaian Crab Stew。 As Twitty gratefully sums up， Rice connects me to every other person， southern and global， who is nourished by rice's traditions and customs。

I love the Savor the South cookbook series， so I was excited to check out this new one。 And I know Michael Twitty from his book The Cooking Gene， so I knew this would give a good history of rice and cooking with rice in the South。 Twitty does a great job with the Introduction that covers the history of rice and cooking with rice in the South。 Then the recipes are divided into categories like "the basics，" "deep origins，" and "southern classics。" Each recipe has a paragraph at the top that explai I love the Savor the South cookbook series， so I was excited to check out this new one。 And I know Michael Twitty from his book The Cooking Gene， so I knew this would give a good history of rice and cooking with rice in the South。 Twitty does a great job with the Introduction that covers the history of rice and cooking with rice in the South。 Then the recipes are divided into categories like "the basics，" "deep origins，" and "southern classics。" Each recipe has a paragraph at the top that explains the dish or the chef's inspiration for the recipe。 There are definitely a few recipes I'd like to try and overall this is another good addition to the Savor the South series。 。。。more

While I really enjoyed the history and recipes I found it to me a little short。 Eager to try a few。

Nothing groundbreaking， but a solid compilation of recipes。

I received this ebook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。I really love how this is laid out into different origins of recipes， like "deep origins，" "the basics，" "taste transitions，" "diverse approaches，" and "southern classics。" I think this is a really good way to spread out these different types of recipes that all have rice in them but are very very different recipes。 I didn't see a single picture in this cookbook and that makes me really sad， because I haven't heard of a lot of I received this ebook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。I really love how this is laid out into different origins of recipes， like "deep origins，" "the basics，" "taste transitions，" "diverse approaches，" and "southern classics。" I think this is a really good way to spread out these different types of recipes that all have rice in them but are very very different recipes。 I didn't see a single picture in this cookbook and that makes me really sad， because I haven't heard of a lot of these recipes and I always like to see a picture of it to get a feeling of what they're supposed to look like when I make the recipe at home。 。。。more

Very interesting cookbook！ In addition to some delicious sounding recipes （OMG I want to eat everything！）， Twitty provides so much history throughout the book， and gives context to so many recipes Americans tend to think of as their own （spoiler alert: a huge chunk of Southern cooking comes from the enslaved African people that were brought here）。 Some recipes I was familiar with， and many were new to me， and they all sound amazing！ You'll never think of rice as boring again！ Very interesting cookbook！ In addition to some delicious sounding recipes （OMG I want to eat everything！）， Twitty provides so much history throughout the book， and gives context to so many recipes Americans tend to think of as their own （spoiler alert: a huge chunk of Southern cooking comes from the enslaved African people that were brought here）。 Some recipes I was familiar with， and many were new to me， and they all sound amazing！ You'll never think of rice as boring again！ 。。。more

I haven’t cooked out of this book yet but I love the reminder of just how African southern foodways are。 I’m not sure if everyone knows this and it’s just me but reading Twitty is always a welcome reminder。

A thorough， thoughtful survey of the origins and importance of rice in Southern foodways。 Twitty ties the history of rice growing and consumption to West Africa， and masterfully draws the parallels between Southern rice traditions to those of contemporary West Africa， Latin America， and Asia。 Also， the recipes are wonderful and easy to follow。 If you love rice and want to explore fun and interesting ways to prepare it， buy this book！
