      🍚 Not all rice cooks the same way: each variety requires its own technique.

      The new course, “Italian Rice in the Kitchen,” is now available.

      Learn how to select and work with Italian rice varieties based on their starch content, absorption, and texture, and apply this knowledge to 8 recipes: risotto, supplì, paella, poke, and more.

      Which type of rice do you find hardest to master?

        I’ve started reading it and I’m really enjoying it—I didn’t know there were so many kinds of rice, haha.

          @estefania-lozanoarl ¡Jajaja, totalmente! El mundo del arroz da para mucho más de lo que parece 😄 Ahora que has empezado el curso, ¿qué variedad o técnica te está sorprendiendo más? Nos encantará ver cómo la llevas al plato y comentar contigo el resultado.

        • All of them!! I find rice a nightmare to cook well, so I stick to Basmati. Since moving to Uzbekistan I have tried to understand the local varieties, but although there are lots of types, everyone says they just use Lazar, a long-grain white rice. I cook it like Basmati. I’m going to look at this rice course right now!

            @empressdalekhotmail-com That’s a great challenge to bring into the course, Sarah! Working beyond Basmati will help you notice how starch, absorption and texture change from one rice to another. Which result gives you the most trouble right now: texture, doneness or getting the grains to stay separate? 👨‍🍳
