Three words for anyone holding out on buying a pressure cooker: "DON'T BE SCARED"!! Pressure cooking may seem difficult and scary but it's simpler than you could ever imagine. This cookbook helps with the basics, is a great confidence builder, answers all "the questions", and is chock full of great recipes you can try or alter to your own tastes. This is a great book to get you going!

The recipes here are not at all to our taste, too common and almost tasteless. If you enjoy plain high fat food, go for it. I am purchasing the Lorna Sass pressure cooker cookbook (which I borrowed from the library) recipes and methods of cooking things far superior. Have been pressure cooking for 2 months now and gave both books a fair trial. I am giving Miss Vickies book to the thrift store.

The best pressure cooker cookbook on the market. Outdtanding information and solid recipes. 470 pages - Great bargain. I recommend it.
 Good recipes overall but not for electric pressure cookers September 30, 2008

I have only tried a handful of these recipes. They turned out pretty great. However, they are all geared towards manual pressure cookers, NOT electric pressure cookers. The author is pretty clear about the fact that all her recipes are intended for manual pressure cookers and she is even a bit condescending towards those that purchase electric ones. I probably would have chosen a different book had I known that, since I own one of each and would like a book that covers both. If you own a manual one, I highly recommend this book though.
