Cookbook for those who know how to cook November 23, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I looked at this book when I first got it and decided the receipes were not anything I would ever make I sent the book back because it is too technical example What the hell is a reconstituted mushroom?
Good cookbook for Pressure Cookers November 23, 2008 I just got a Fagor pressure cooker and not a clue how to make stuff in high altitude. I got several pressure cookbooks and this one was a good addition. Pressure Perfect gives many options for one recipe which I really like. The first recipe I tried was the Green Split Pea soup. It has wonderful flavor and was a hit with my husband who loves split pea soup. I just moved to high altitude area near Denver so that is why I got a pressure cooker. The soup was done in 30 minutes! Yum!!

Pressure Perfect to Perfect meals! August 23, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The first time I bought a pressure cooker I was on the phone with a friend to make sure it didn't explode and kill me without anyone knowing it! 12 minutes later I had the best split pea soup I have ever tasted in my life! No peas to puree...just PERFECT! The next thing I tried with Lorna Sass's guidance was Rissoto! Holly cow and I didn't even follow her exact receipe just used as a guide to make mushroom, cheese Garlic Rissoto...it was unbelieviable! My Sicilian Sweetie couldn't believe it.. have you ever made Risotto the old fashioned way??? Hey trust me it's easier to buy a pressure cooker and Lorna Sass's book and it will turn out perfect! Since then, I have created perfect Roast, perfect Turkey, the cabbage pot of Irish stew and sent my friends home wanting the book! I made the corned beef and cabbage for St. Paddy's day one year and my friend who didn't like corned beef took the left overs home! I tried making corned beef in a crock pot and the tough rubbery nightmare put me off the crock pot for years! I am telling you this book is wonderful. I use it as a reference book more than anything. You have no idea how many friends have purchased pressure cookers because of this book and the meals it has helped me come up with!
If you're cooking meat and you aren't planning to grill it outside...trust me the pressure cooker is the way to go, and if you want a wonderful instruction manual for your pressure cooker look to Lorna Sass! She's a true artist, and she'll make you seem like one in the kitchen too!
