Review by ComfyCozyChic for Rice Cooker Creations: 40 Simple Recipes Rating: I purchased this book while I was living in Northern California and was horribly disappointed by it (I wish we could give zero stars). It offered no actual recipes that my rice cooker didn't provide. Instead, it listed 40 useless recipes that were obviously put together solely for the author's resume. What a waste!

I was excited though to be relocated to Los Angeles where I read that the author had a small restaurant. Imagine my excitement to check out the author's so-called knowledge and expertise. Not so much at all. The food was bland and bizarrely paired, and the knowledgeable chef was insulting and degrading. I asked her for tips (to further the recipes in her book) and I was accused of trying to steal her "trade secrets" and kicked out. Ummm...why publish then?

So, I continue my quest for a good cookbook to teach me the "secrets" of making great rice! Look elsewhere for guidance as it isn't here.

Review by cooking mama for Rice Cooker Creations: 40 Simple Recipes Rating: I just got this book FREE with my new rice cooker. It is informative and the author is very well qualified. The prices listed here from $99.99-$139.99 are ridiculous! It is paperback and the price listed on the back is $9.99. I thought it was a typo, but these people are serious (seriously insane!). It's worth $9.99 NOT $99.99!!!!

Review by Cynthia Robutka for Rice Cooker Creations: 40 Simple Recipes Rating: This is a great rice cooker cookbook that will give you more ideas on how to use your rice cooker than just for rice. Complete recipies and pictures make this a fantastic book to add to any collection.

Review by Maria Calil for Rice Cooker Creations: 40 Simple Recipes Rating: I've purchased this recipe book in hopes of mastering my rice cooker which instructions were pretty vague. In my opinion this book was useless, telling me to follow the rice cookers directions for water/rice ratio. This is not an elaborate recipe book, one you would have expected to come with the rice cooker, not pay an additional ten dollars for.

Review by C. D. FILKER for Rice Cooker Creations: 40 Simple Recipes Rating: I was looking for a cookbook to use my Zojurishi Micom rice cooker for simple one pot meals since the book that came with the unit is written in Japanese and the English translation is very hard to follow. This book has mostly multiple step recipes, browning, sauteing, then cooking and preparing sauces, removing ingredients, adding ingredients, etc which I would not do in a rice cooker anyway. Why drag out a rice cooker for that when you can do it all on the stove in a couple of easy steps? I guess it would be OK if you only had one appliance, the rice cooker. I was disappointed in the recipes and the whole cookbook...
