Book Reviews of Miss Vickie's Big Book of Pressure Cooker Recipes
Book Review: Very good book
Summary: 4 Stars
This book has a lot of information (sometimes it is repeated several times...) and even at full editor price, it's good value.
I did not give it 5 stars because so many of the recipes have as ingredients cans of soup (chicken soup, mushroom soup, celery). They don't save a lot of time saving to the picture when I look at the recipe times, just ingredients I am not crazy about to begin with.
I have been using pressure cookers since 1988. I have both this book and Lorna Sass (Pressure Perfect). They are very different in styles. Miss Vickie's is like cooking homely stuff with your Mom / Grandma, with a little story about how each recipe came about. There are recipes from the 50's, the 60's. It's a bit of trip back in time as she is sharing her "Family recipe shoe box".
On the other hand, Lorna Sass recipes are more "in" in a way. Very Manhattan.
I like both books, they are just completely different.
