How to Cook Rice
This is a project I began for Manna Food Center in Montgomery County. Eating well on a low budget is difficult, and food banks are especially stretched right now. Bulk, raw, whole foods are the most nutritious and cost effective–but unfortunately, many people don’t know how to prepare such foods. Language and literacy are often a barrier, so I went with a simply drawn (and therefore easily and inexpensively reproduced) comic strip format. If you know a food bank that might make use of these, please let me know and I’d be happy to send a PDF version along.
The guides are currently being used by food banks in Los Angeles, Yolo County, San Benito County, Central New York and by the Capital Area Food Banks here in the Washington DC metro area.
A special thanks to Los Angeles Regional Food Bank for translating the guides to Spanish!
Here is our first “Whole Food Guide.”
