Hi Chonk, I usually add soaked or well rinsed rice to boiling water, bring back to the boil with lid off and continue to cook on a rolling boil for around 7 minutes. I do vary the the cooking time depending on how long I pre-soak or if using a different brand of rice as they do vary slightly.

I have to say, that bread looks very tasty indeed. I've never been one for baking as i'm more spur of moment but that is certainly inspiring.

I might just have to try this.

These wouldn't last a day in my household knowing my daughters! Takes me back too, my mum used to make crispy cornflake cakes, I loved them.

I don't think there's any form of rice I dislike, but you can't whack plain boiled rice for getting maximum taste from a curry.

This is something that I hadn't truly appreciated until a few months back. I ordered a jalfrezi and had no idea what to have with it, when it was suggested to me to have a plain rice as the dish was full flavoured and fairly hot.

I would usually have had a mushroom rice but on sitting down to eat the dinner, I came to appreciate the simplicity of the plain rice and the balance it provided to the dish. It certainly accentuated the flavours in the jalfrezi.

Other than plain rice which I prefer, I also enjoy onion rice, mushroom rice and keema peas rice. The one I seem to stay away from these days is actually pilau.

I love rice plain, basmati, short grain, long grain, arborio, etc.....

I love it in its plain form, but I know others are not so keen. So I just wondered, amongst us, who is and who isn't addicted to rice as I am?

What is your favourite way to cook and eat it?
