  1. Personally I thought this tasted very good, but I would have preferred it less wet (I was expecting fluffier rice -- I understand that that may not be the intended result). I also added a bit of sugar. That said, my DH loved it, so 5 stars!
     
  2. We absolutely loved this rice. So much flavor with all the different ingredients. I used red pepper flakes for the red chile and added more pineapple. I only made half a recipe and had very little left. Loved it. Served with Recipe #108105.

I live in Victoria, British Columbia. I am happily married to the most wonderful guy on earth:) Aside from being a wanna be chef, I am also a wanna be children's book author, and a famous crooner in the shower aside from being a frustrated painter/illustrator and a real trying hard golfer. I love experimenting with different dishes from countries all over the world. I am constantly experimenting with new recipes and different types of fresh herbs and spices. I collect cookbooks and magazines. Most of the recipes I've posted and I will be posting are from the different magazines such as Bon Appetite, Chatelaine, Cucina, Hello, Home Maker and Gourmet. I will also try to post recipes that I've grown up with as well as those that came from family and friends.
