Asian Style Brown Rice Pilaf #KitchenMatrixCookingProject

Tender and nutty brown rice studded with shrimp and snow peas, flavored with soy sauce and sesame oil.

Today is the final installation in a year long endeavor that we called the Kitchen Matrix Cooking Project........

At the beginning of this year my friends Cam, of Culinary Adventures with Camilla, Karen, of Karen's Kitchen Stories and I got together at Cam's suggestion and ordered up Mark Bittman's Kitchen Matrix Cookbook.

Then, for the next 51 weeks we shared recipes inspired by this cookbook each Tuesday.  Since next Tuesday is Christmas, today is our final post for this group.

Cam has gathered a round up of all the year's recipes that we shared.  You can see those over at her post titled Closing out the Kitchen Matrix Cooking Project.

I have to admit that I sizzled out here at the end.  Not because I love this project any less, just because it got so busy around here for the Holidays.  So this final recipe was made and shared last night with my niece, Jen, and her husband, Randy, who came down from Traverse City to pick up their daughter, Lili,  who is leaving Wayne State University for this next semester.  She has been given an internship at Plant Moran in Traverse City for the second semester of the year.

So, sorry folks, I have no great photos but the dish was delicious and a great hit with everyone even the teen who can be pretty picky.  

Let's see Cam and Karen's final recipes......

One of my favorite aspects of this cookbook is Bittman's style of cooking.  He takes regular everyday items and gives you a matrix of ideas for preparing them.  His recipes are easily adaptable to personal preference and availability of product.  A very inspirational year for sure.  Thanks Cam.
