Rice Is Life by Caryl Levine

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.

Caryl Levine and Ken Lee are rice visionaries. Their pioneering introduction of Forbidden Rice®, Bhutanese Red Rice, and other specialty rices has fundamentally changed how Americans think about, cook, and eat rice, transforming it from a starchy white side dish to a center-of-the-plate ingredient. They also introduced a new paradigm, using market incentives for social change. By paying farmers premium prices to conserve rice biodiversity, they help improve incomes, protect the environment, and provide consumers with healthier rice. Kristin Donnelly is the author of MODERN POTLUCK (Clarkson Potter, 2016) and CAULIFLOWER (Short Stack Editions, 2018). MODERN POTLUCK was lauded in the New York Times, the Philadelphia Inquirer, Food & Wine, Epicurious, and Design*Sponge. Erin Scott is a photographer based in Oakland, CA.
