Carolina Rice Kitchen The African Connection

"The purpose of 'The Carolina Rice Kitchen' is to explain to the rest of us what our one native rice culture was all about--where it came from, what its dishes were, and how those who participated in it cooked their rice (this last explained in what may be the most sensitive and instructive chapter on the cooking of plain rice ever written)....Karen Hess makes her readers work hard, but those who stay the course receive genuine goods in return. They will learn, or at least begin to understand HOW to learn, to cook rice....As this difficult book makes clear, authentic knowledge of the past is the same as authentic knowledge of oneself: hard won and fraught with risk."Hess, Karen is the author of 'Carolina Rice Kitchen The African Connection' with ISBN 9781570032080 and ISBN 1570032084.
