Product Description:
What cook isnt looking for recipes that are fast, delicious, and nutritious? The Pressure Cooker Gourmet provides just that, with 225 dishes that are simple to prepare, cook in as little as 15 minutes, and retain all the natural nutrients that can be lost with other cooking methods.
The beauty of pressure cooking is that it allows the home cook to make traditionally labor-intensive dishes like stews, braises, briskets, and pot roasts literally in a matter of minutes, opening up vast new possibilities for weekday cooking.
In a thorough introduction, Victoria Wise explains how to use the modern pressure cooker (which has been completely reengineered for safety and ease of use) and outlines what it particularly excels at, from basic beans and grains to hearty one-pot entres. Then she presents outstanding dishes such as Lamb Shank Braised with Garlic and Rosemary (cooking time 25 minutes); Sunday Chicken Poached Belgian-Style (25 minutes); Risotto with Shrimp, Fennel, and Saffron (18 minutes); Tamales with Black Bean and Plantain Filling (16 minutes); In-House Clam Bake (20 minutes); and Peanut Butter Swirl Cheesecake (30 minutes).

Kuhn Rikon Duromatic Top Pressure Cooker, 5-Quart
I bought this book to accompany my new Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker. It is very thorough, explains how the pressure cooker works, and is gradually helping me to get through my "beans on the ceiling" fears.
Rating: - Exactly what I was looking for; GOURMET pressure cooking, not mama's corned beef and cabbage!
Book just arrived and I have only made one dish so far and it was phenomenal..I can't wait to try more of these recipes! I rated this only 4 stars because some of the liquid measurements, cooking time, etc. seemed way way off. I made the Bolognese sauce and it was the BEST I have ever tasted! fyi, I have never made a Bolognese sauce before but have tasted it many times in restaurants. Nor did I think it would be something I would make; I just happened to have all the ingredients in my pantry and ... Read More
Rating: - You can't please everyone...but I'm happy with this book
I read some other reviews that complained about this, that or another thing regarding this book.The old saying "You can't please everyone" is true, and this book is no exception.There are lots of good recipes, suited to a variety of palates.If you disagree with a particular recommendation (a precedure, time or temperature/pressure for example), then adapt the recipe to your liking.I purchased this at a bookstore after skimming the pages to see if it was a book I'd want to own.I wouldn't ...

Rating:  - Too Fancy
They have many nice receipes if you like fancy receipes with many different "hard to find" spices, etc.I like the simple life, and don't need fancy french dishes to make me happy.
Rating:  - No photo for the recipes at all!
I believe a good cookbook should have photo for each recipe it covers to prove the author successfully made them. Besides, the photos make the book attractive. I ordered this book on line; therefore, I could not browse the content. When I received it, I realized it did not have any picture at all.
I tried to make a soup dish once with the pressure cooker but I did not like the taste. I've been using a slow cooker for more than a month now. The taste of the food is good. I find it's more ... Read More
