Rice is so much more than just a pantry staple. It is the foundation of cuisines across the world, a grain that sustains half the world's people, and the start of a delicious meal at home. This love letter to rice and rice noodles, from the founders of Lotus Foods, showcases the grain with over 65 recipes for easy-to-cook meals, from Arroz con Pollo and Jollof Rice to One-Pot Red Rice with Mussels and Swiss Chard, Ramen "Carbonara" with Corn, and even Horchata Milkshakes. Along the way, it also offers essays on rice culture and sustainable rice agriculture, showing how rice plays a part in uplifting people across the globe. With its bright and colorful interior, RICE IS LIFE finds the joy and freshness in the everyday beauty of rice not just as a pantry staple, but a staple of life.
