I've never tried coconut milk before. I make jasmine rice mushroom risotto with white wine and chicken stock and it's one of my regular dishes. I actually prefer jasmine rice to arborio. *Ducks to make sure no Italians throw tomatoes at me.* Happy New Year! Looks great! I’ve never tried coconut milk before.

Sometimes the cream is not separated from the thin milk, that's okay, just use it as is. JEP, the thin milky top can be spooned off, but we just slowly pour it out of the can.

The coconut cream...do you spoon off the milky top before reaching the cream? Mmm..the mushrooms will make this very good tasting! Terrific photos!

I'm fortunate to work from home and my schedule is very flexible. So, I'm able to take most of my pictures during the day with natural lighting from my kitchen window (west facing, not ideal, but good enough). If we are cooking late, I'll take pictures of the meal the next day. It's Sunday night dinner and sometimes Monday photos. Have you seen Jaden's post on <a href="http://steamykitchen.com/blog/2008/02/03/lowel-ego-lights-for-food-photography/" rel="nofollow external">her lighting</a>? It seems like a good solution for nighttime shots. dp, thanks, give it a try and let me know what you think.

Perhaps for a special meal with my sweetums this weekend. So, Chuck, question for ya....what lighting set up do you have for these gorgeous photos? You and I have the exact same camera and lens but I'm just not getting the same results and I'm sure it's the lighting... pretty please share your secret!! :) Yep, this is promptly going on “the list”.

I've only ever eaten it steamed, but now I must try making risotto. Beautiful presentation! What an interesting way to use sticky rice.
