Rice is a global staple--and a U.S. success story. Rice farmers in California's central valley and the lowlands of the American south have turned rice into a staple crop.

There's a lot to know about rice: types, grain sizes, cooking tips.

Join us, veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We've written over three dozen cookbooks. We know quite a bit about the ins and outs of rice: shopping for the best, preparing it, and enjoying the most flavor per grain.

We promise laughs and know-how. That's what we aim for in our podcast COOKING WITH BRUCE & MARK.
