As a UK resident, reading Anson Mills description of their rice products and how they taste, and what you can do with them is really quite bewildering - 'They can also be prepared in the creamy grits style and all the way to congee, if pressed, or as crisp skillet cakes, both savory and sweet.'

I cook with a range of rices depending on what i'm doing - Arbori, Carnaroli, Basmati and Bomba, but rarely with what I consider an american long grain.

I'll try and track down some of this Carolina Gold and see what I can do with it. Any suggestions for a recipe that shows it off (not knowing what a skillet cake is, for example)?

Anson Mills has their own recipe page [1]. I also buy their polenta and stone cut oatmeal, for which I follow this recipe [2] (though I find my preferred done ness is after ~12 minutes not 20 -- especially when "fresh" from cold storage in the freezer as they recommend).

Marsh Hen Mill (until recently known as Geechie Boy) is an excellent source from Edisto Island, with even better grits. https://marshhenmill.com/

I've made this recipe a few times but never had the proper rice. It's very tasty with jasmine rice, if a little gummy and too watery. Might just be my culinary skill with cook-in-place rice recipes.

If you don’t already, consider washing your rice first. I’ve found that to help with gumminess.

Carolina Gold is more of a medium grain. The Anson Mills recipes are quite good and worth a try.
