Book Reviews of The Pressure Cooker Gourmet: 225 Recipes for Great-Tasting, Long-Simmered Flavors in Just Minutes (Non)
Book Review: Absolutely delicious!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best pressure cooker cookbook I've purchase yet! I'd never used a pressure cooker before, and I needed a cookbook to learn how to use it. At first, I was a little intimidated by the title "gourmet", however, the recipes are so simple to follow and the flavors of the dishes are just incredible. I bought another pressure cooker cookbook, but it's just sitting on the shelf collecting dust. The Pressure Cooker Gourmet is fantastic!
I've made 30+ recipes from the book, and all have been great! The author includes a little paragraph of information before each recipe about things to keep in mind while preparing or cooking the dish. The tips are very useful, and I use many while preparing dishes from other cookbooks.
The author calls for the use of fresh herbs (and includes conversions to dry herb amounts, if you don't have fresh). I think this is one of the things that makes these dishes amazingly flavorful & gives your taste buds a wonderful treat!
With about 10% of the recipes, I had a harder time finding some ingredients at my local grocery store around the corner from my house (hence the title "gourmet"). If the ingredient I can't find doesn't seem like it will impact the recipe much, I'll just substitute something else I can find at my local store (i.e. another type of dried bean, a common spice, or another type of dried pepper, for example). Now that I've found a store in town that carried the harder-to-find items, I know exactly where to go to get those things. All these recipes were all well-worth hunting down the ingredients! I'm usually able to find all the ingredients for 90% of the recipes at my local grocery store.
Some of these recipes are very, very quick (5-10 minutes), and some take a bit of time to prepare (over 2-3 hours). I usually make the more time consuming ones on the weekends & have the quick ones when I come home from work at night (the halibut with black olive butter sauce is devine -- 10 minutes). I've found that some of the "time consuming" ones can be greatly shortened by marinating the meats overnight in the frig & then preparing the dish when I get home from work. They are all well worth the time invested, and I look forward to the weekends when I can cook these fabulous dishes!
If you like to have wine with dinner, then this book is for you! Many of the meat & poultry recipes (as well as some of the fish / seafood recipes) call for some amount of wine in the recipe. This leaves a good portion of the bottle left over to enjoy with dinner!
I'm so very happy I found this book! I use it at least 3-4 times per week. If you want to add some zest to your pressure cooking routine, this is a fantastic, flavorful book!
