"Cooking for my family had become a chore. I was basically in a rut until I came across your site via the OCA. I have actually began enjoying cooking again. My kids are now even trying simple recipes on their own. I feel such a sense of satisfaction knowing I am preparing food that's nourishing and delicious. I have learned so much. Thank you, thank you :)"
-Kaylla
"I must tell you what an inspiration your blog and videos have been to me....and my kids. We love watching you and learning great tips."

Danny Jensen at Take Part loves Cookus Interruptus. Read about it!
Cookus Interruptus videos are now regularly featured in Mothering Magazine's "Peggy's Kitchen e-newsletter".

"I have been cooking more. I made some really good fried tofu, delicious soba noodles, Bok Choy (from the collard greens vid), Blanched red cabbage, fried rice, some thing else I can't remember, and almost every day for breakfast I eat either quinoa or steel cut oats. Not only that my knowledge on food has increased 10 fold. All thanks to you. xo"

"Besides providing amazing how-to recipes on whole, organic foods, you weave a gentle little funny-family story-line throughout that always leaves me wanting more. I forward your site to friends with the spoiler, "pssst, bet you can't watch just one!" There's just nothing like your program anywhere!"
Lynne Lillie
"What a really well conceived, and nicely organized website. Being gut-bustingly funny is an added bonus. Nice job, Fam."
Steven Lee

Maggie Dutton, Seattle Weekly
"This is exactly what I need! The short instructional videos are fun (and funny!) and the food quickly comes together while life happens..I know from her cookbook that (the food) will be healthy AND full of flavor."

How to Cook Brown Rice in a Rice CookerBecause brown rice is much higher in fiber than white rice, you can't simply follow the “white rice” instructions on the rice cooker or the rice will not come out tender.
To cook rice, rinse and drain 2 cups of brown rice and put it in the rice cooker. Instead of filling the cooker with water to the “2 cup” mark, fill it to the “3 cup” mark. Add a ½ teaspoon of sea salt and turn it on.
Most rice cookers have a non-stick liner where the rice is cooked. Miracle Stainless Steel Rice Cookers have a stainless steel liner (instead of questionable non-stick materials) which I prefer. This brand can be found at The Cookus Store.
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Makes ~ 6 cups of rice  |

Oh, nevermind, I rewatched the video.
I dont measure my rice like that since I use Jasmine Rice and it measures out the same as Brown.
Gotcha!

Some rice cookers have a brown rice cooking mode so you don't have to make adjustments and constantly monitor it. www.brownricecookersite.com
