A pressure cooker is indispensable for the busy home cook, as most foods cook in one-third of the time of conventional cooking methods. Many food writers and retailers have embraced it as the kitchen tool of the millennium – you can save time and energy without compromising quality.
This incredible variety of recipes features everything from everyday meals to dishes for entertaining, including vegetarian options. Imagine hands-free risotto cooked to creamy perfection in 6 minutes, almost instant homemade stocks and broth, or a tender beef and red wine stew cooked in half an hour. A pressure cooker truly shines when it comes to preparing beans and whole grains.

My Thoughts: I just got a pressure cooker 3 weeks ago as an anniversary present and haven’t had a chance to use it just yet. I have been reading on the internet various tips and hints on pressure cooking and I am looking forward to getting started with it.
One of the things I really love about this cookbook is that it’s great for beginners or for experience pressure cooker cooks. In the beginning of the book you will find a great educational section titled “The Essentials of Pressure Cooking” which is full of all kinds of great information for the beginner. I also love that the book has a table of cooking times which is really handy for me.
The chapters are broken down as: Appetizers, Soups, Meat, Poultry, Fish & Seafood, Vegetables & Vegetarian Dishes, Beans & Grains, Desserts and Stocks, Sauces & Condiments.
This is a comprehensive pressure cooking cookbook with 225 mouth-watering recipes. The author lays out the ingredients list and directions for you…along with some tips and hints along the way. I am really looking forward to starting my journey in pressure cooking once my hip is healed (just had surgery) and I can get up on my feet again.
