Industry Reviews
"Naomi Duguid and Jeffrey Alford...write fascinating and beautiful books, filled with Jeffrey's stories...and Naomi's lush, gorgeous photographs.THE SEDUCTIONS OF RICE abounds with comfort foods, perhaps because rice lends itself to them..."
Atlantic Unbound - Corby Kummer (04/27/1999)
"...SEDUCTIONS OF RICE is the book to end all books on rice. If authors Duguid and Alford haven't included it, it probably isn't worth knowing....Think of something--anything, I dare you--and THE SEDUCTIONS OF RICE has it covered....[A] triumph of a cookbook: one whose sheer weight and volume can't help but inspire admiration....The recipes--and there are many--are clear and concise and the directions are easy to follow. As well, each recipe is prefaced with an interesting story...."
