5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT RECIPES MADE WITH SIMPLICITY, April 23, 1999

By A Customer

Of all the books I looked at, this one fit my needs best. As a student and a cooking novice, it gives me good tips on pressure cooking in general, has many recipes for all kinds of food styles (e.g. meats, fresh veggies, legumes, grains, fruits, seafood, etc.), and seeks to fill the recipes with healthy, low-fat ingredients. There's even a section "Cooking for One." For rookie pressure cookers like me, and even for the cooking veteran, THIS BOOK IS A MUST!

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful book!, December 15, 2007

By	Mark A. Gordon (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found this book to be extremely helpful. Growing up in the 1940s with a family who used two (Flex-Seal) pressure cookers at many meals, I am comfortable with what pressure cookers can do. This book's strength is its description of what you can do and why. Example, I now "Quick-soak" all dried legumes for five minutes instead of soaking them overnight. This is an enormous time-saver.

If one finds the recipes bland, it is easy to add spices to enliven them. But the core recipes work well.

An excellent book.
