Roger Ebert is proving no disability will stop his passion for critique and advice. Although complications from oral cancer robbed him of the ability to speak, he’s turned this hardship into a motivator. After writing a cookbook on rice cookers, The Pot and How To Use It, Ebert continues to guide people’s decisions in the kitchen through a recent New York Times column where he answers questions readers have left for him about cooking and life in general.

One reader was looking to replace boxed Zatarain’s beans and rice with a slow cooked, homemade version, but was unsure of what goes best in The Pot.

“I love a rice cooker meal of Zatarain’s rice with vermicelli, black beans and frozen vegetables (and turmeric)!

Ebert’s recommended a mix of legumes, grains and seeds called Soo Foo.

Roger Ebert has written a cookbook dedicated to rice cookers, The Pot and How to Use It. The Mystery and Romance of the Rice Cooker, which is scheduled for release in September.

Anna Thomas, author of vegetarian cookbooks like “The Vegetarian Epicure,” and “Love Soup,” has written an introduction to the book.

Inside, The Pot, is promised to be filled with Ebert’s favorite recipes, which sound as if they can at least be made vegetarian, for chili, risotto and Ebert’s favorite–oatmeal. The longtime film critic has named the rice cooker as one of his favorite kitchen appliances and he told the AP one could eat for week using it to cook several meals a day.
