Would recommend this book if you purchased a rice cooker to cook a range of foods and like to experiment etc. I bought to make purely rice dishes, of which there are few. Definately check out the preview option on amazon or google books and check the contents page for a full run down of options to see if you like "Chicken" dishes, "Egg" dishes, "Pasta" dishes etc etc. Will be keeping as a reference for if I feel experimental one day but ingredients lists for most dishes are quite long too - Summary: If you're a good cook looking to get stuck into your rice cooker, its a good buy, for those with simple rice dish ambitions, spend [] quid more and get the "ultimate" rice cooker cookbook one, as I have done. A very good cook book none the less.
