(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best rice & grains cooking books

The Seductions of Rice by Alford and Duguid. It's total food porn and pretty good recipes, too. Rice based cuisines from around the world. Nom.

Try and find a copy of this cookbook. I found a copy on Overdrive, and have made a few recipes so far that have turned out pretty well.

I actually finally have books on my wishlist. I am not a reader, but found some cheaper digital cookbooks the other day that I am curious about. Here is one of them.

you can order nori from amazon and sushi doesn't have to be fish, IIRC the term sushi is actually the way that the rice is prepared (it's different than normal rice) I saw a video where they made bacon and i want to say apple sushi I'll have to dig it up again and link it

Edit: here is the video link and here is the site they got it from. granted i forgot they did use tuna in this but still are some recipes that don't call for fish

same lady has a book out now in hardback and kindle

The godfather of sausagemaking, Stanley Marianski, has written a book on this very subject. While I have not checked out this particular book yet, I have 5 other Marianski books, and they are absolutely indispensable. For $6.95 on Kindle, it's a worthwhile investment.

If you're looking for recipes that aim to impress, I'd suggest The Candle Cafe Cookbook.

These dishes are all vegan and tend to be a bit fancier than Moosewood fare. In particular I like the seitan chimmichurris. You could even make your own seitan, which isn't all that hard, but would no doubt be impressive.

Barley Wine by Dick Cantwell and Fal Allen is a fantastic source for big beers. It's specifically on barleywines, but the techniques discussed for the actual brewing (mashing and boiling) can be applied to any big beer.

I have an extremely thin steel paella pan from Spain that weights almost nothing.

When I make recipes from this book I get socarrat every time, reliably.

I have this book at home: http://www.amazon.com/Cooking-Gluten-Seitan-Dorothy-Bates/dp/0913990957/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1317758624&sr=8-5

i will check out the recipe they have tonight and see if anything is different from the wikihow tutorial.

Riot's reference book for the update

The late Roger Ebert wrote a book on the rice cooker and how to use it for a bunch of meals that aren't just rice. He also blogged about it.
