Every Grain of Rice
Fuchsia Dunlop trained as a chef at China's leading cooking school and is internationally renowned for her delicious recipes and brilliant writing about Chinese food. Every Grain of Rice is inspired by the healthy and vibrant home cooking of southern China, in which meat and fish are enjoyed in moderation, but vegetables play the starring role. Try your hand at blanched choy sum with sizzling oil, Hangzhou broad beans with ham, pock-marked old woman's beancurd or steamed chicken with shiitake mushrooms, or, if you've ever in need of a quick fix, Fuchsia's emergency late-night noodles. Many of the recipes require few ingredients and are startlingly easy to make. The book includes a comprehensive introduction to the key seasonings and techniques of the Chinese kitchen, as well as the 'magic ingredients' that can transform modest vegetarian ingredients into wonderful delicacies. With stunning photography and clear instructions, this is an essential volume for beginners and connoisseurs alike.

A collection of ten short stories reprinted from "Give the pig a chance" and other anthologies, nine new stories, and a play by Mike D. Garcia based on Rice's short story, "She flies."
Half a Pound of Tuppenny Rice
The events of August 1972--a poisoning, a drowning and a possible cover-up--disturb the 17-year-old Grant Morrison. Forty years later, still obsessed with the case and the fear that his late mother might have been involved, Grant sets out to unravel the twisted network of the suspects' relationships while haunted by an old nursery rhyme sung by the echoing voice of a child.
A Room in Dodge City
A Room in Dodge City follows a nameless drifter into an American heart of darkness. In this nightmarish version of the historic Dodge City, mythic beasts crawl out of the woodwork; bizarre rituals are enacted; and death is never the end. Equal parts humor and horror-show, David Leo Rice's novel combines the mundaneness of modern life-motels, strip malls, temp jobs-with something stranger, darker, and more eternal. Told through linked vignettes that read like metaphoric fairytales gone wrong, Dodge City consumes the reader just as it slowly consumes the drifter, leaving all to wonder whether any of us can ever truly escape this world-or our own.

Recovery the Hard Way
Nick wanted nothing but recovery for Paula, and for her to regain control of her life, learning to live without the use of drugs. However, his efforts were complicated because of her obsession with wanting his love, but his constant rejections caused her to resent him, and want nothing but to see him dead. In her increasingly confused mind, Paula actually believed that he was the reason for her falling deeper into addiction. Recovery the Hard Way follows the lives of Rick, Paula, and the people around them as they struggle to overcome the many adversities life has put in their path. Author David O. Rice presents a story all readers can relate to, as they try to find a purpose in their continued existence.
Arkansas Backstories, Volume Two
Like its companion book, this second volume of Arkansas Backstories will amaze even the most serious students of the state with surprising insights. How many people are aware that a world-class yodeler from Zinc ran against John F. Kennedy in 1960 for the top spot on the national Democratic ticket, or that an African-American born in Little Rock campaigned for the Presidency nearly 70 years before Congressman Shirley Chisholm made her historic run? Or that bands of blood-thirsty pirates once lurked in the bayous and backwaters of eastern Arkansas, preying on unsuspecting Mississippi River travelers? Likewise, how many readers will recognize the fact that an English botanist who spent months ...
