My recent discovery is Basmati Rice. I buy it in a box by a company called 'Fantastic Foods'. I've seen it in both healthfood stores and major supermarket chains. It is a light, aromatic, white rice from india. Cooks in 15 minutes and your kitchen smells heavenly while it's cooking. Makes great curried rice. Typical recipe: Saute vegetables, add curry powder, add water, bring to boil, add rice, bring to boil, cover and simmer. (tofu and peanuts of almonds optional). Whole process takes less than 1/2 hour. Brown rice is probably better for you, but this stuff is definetly worth trying. - Karl
