Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of The New Pressure Cooker Cookbook

Book Review: A great guide to cooking fine meals when you don't have time
Summary: 5 Stars

There are a lot of excellent recipes in this small, usable cookbook. How about "fennel and scallop bisque" or "raspberry-glazed chicken" or "bistro lentil salad with goat cheese"? I bet your grandmother didn't make food like that in her pressure cooker! There are also the basics: how to cook rice, make chicken stock, make chile verde sauce (hey, in New Mexico, that's basic), etc.

There is one feature that make this book a standout. Following an excellent brief write-up about the dish, there are three pieces of information: preparation time, pressure cooking time, and other cooking time, so you know what you're in for. The food preparation directions are very clear and easy to follow, even for a novice like me.

I disagree with the author on one point. On page 10 she says, "When you start cooking with the pressure cooker, understand that it takes some getting used to." It doesn't. If you can follow the clear directions in this book and have read the owner's manual for the pressure cooker (important), you will be successful immediately.

If I can do it, so can you. Buy this book!
