Book Reviews of Miss Vickie's Big Book of Pressure Cooker Recipes
Book Review: High praise for this book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the last word for me in pressure cooker cookbooks. It is an encyclopedia of information for the how-to's and do's and don'ts of pressure cooking. Every possible problem or question seems to have been anticipated and answered. Then there are time charts for every kind of food that one would want to cook under pressure. Last but not least, the wonderful recipes literally make your mouth water.
I received my copy today from Amazon.com (good deal, by the way & I got free shipping too), and didn't waste any time trying it out. Our Irish dinner -- a day late, I know -- turned out perfect.
Actually, I bought this book thinking my daughter could benefit from it. Now I see that I'll have to get another one to give to her...I need this one for myself!
Now, sooner or later someone will surely complain "...I couldn't give it 5 stars because there aren't any pictures..." I'm surprised that these same people don't also expect "scratch, sniff & taste" pages. Don't we all know what food looks like? Even someone who has never cooked before knows what a potato, or a carrot, a potroast or a chicken is supposed to look like. Yes, visuals would enhance the appeal of the book, but honestly, the recipes and directions are so well presented that photos are really not necessary.
I'm looking forward to trying many, many of the interesting recipes.
Good job, Miss Vickie!!
Update: Now that I have had this book for a while, and have tried many of the recipes and techniques, I want to say that this book is truly worth the money. Many people focus their pressure cooking attentions primarily on main dishes and especially meats. Miss Vickie's main dish recipes are wonderful. However, in addition to great meals, this book offers adventures in delicious desserts and side dishes as well.
She also has a great website dedicated entirely to pressure cooking, where you can post questions and receive answers. Type "Miss Vickie's Guide to Modern Pressure Cookery" in the search. Check it out.
