Brown Rice

Posted under Cooking, Food, Health, Home Matters

We cooked this brown rice for the very first time at home. I am delighted that my curiosity as to how to cook it has been satisfied. I have eaten brown rice before though that must have of a different variety. This one we cooked was darker brown while that one we have eaten at Grub Resto in town was more like violet or something close to that color.

Just as another new blogger friend said that it takes forever to cook this, it took us about an hour and fifteen minutes to cook this. Aside from the thirty minutes when we soaked this prior to turning on our ordinary rice cooker.

I like the brown rice though it’s taste and texture is different from the usual white rice that we have been accustomed to eating. I went for this brown rice (thanks to hubby’s support) because I have read and heard many times that this is more healthy and nutritious compared to the white rice. I only hope it ain’t as expensive though compared to white rice.

Barefoot Contessa Recipe Journal

Barefoot Contessa Recipe Journal - Ina Garten's Cookbook

My dear sister who loves to cook and following cooking shows would be so delighted to get this for her birthday in a couple of month’s time. She found out about this when I told her while we were watching Ina Garten’s Barefoot Contessa a few month’s back.

I am going to look for this again at the National Bookstore here and I hope they have it. The last time I checked they were out of stock.

Seeing this actually makes me miss watching Barefoot Contessa. I love this cooking show and it is one of my fave shows to watch actually at Lifestyle channel.
