WHAT IS NEW:
Instant Pots® and other brands of multi-function pressure cookers were all the rage a few years ago and are still popular today as people learn more about the “multi” in its multi-functions. More than just an efficient way to quickly cook dry beans or throw together a pot of chili, multi-function cookers like the Instant Pot® can also steam vegetables, make quick mashed potatoes, and even make jam or yogurt. Britt Brandon is a certified personal trainer and certified fitness nutrition specialist who also has her own fitness and nutrition blog. She really uses the Instant Pot® to its full potential in this book.
WHAT IS AUTHENTIC:
“I Love My Instant Pot®…” is a well laid-out cookbook. The instructions are easy to follow, and although there aren’t many photographs, the photos that are included are colorful and well-presented.
WHAT IS KIND:
In addition to the recipes, Brandon includes a preface describing all the many functions and buttons on the standard Instant Pot®, so even beginners who get their first pressure cooker as a holiday gift can get acclimated right away to all this gadget can do.
WHAT IS ENLIGHTENED:
There is a wide variety of recipes in this book; dishes that you wouldn’t expect to come from a pressure cooker. Breakfast isn’t just oatmeal, but Spinach and Portobello Benedict (complete with vegan Hollandaise!) Dinner isn’t just rice but risotto—FIVE different risotto recipes are featured. And there is a plethora of recipes for sauces, jams, and even chutneys.
IS THIS BOOK FOR YOU?
If you think you can’t adapt to a vegan diet because it’s too time-consuming and complicated—it isn’t, but if you THINK it is—and you want to get more versatility out of your pressure cooker, this book is for you.
STAR RATING? (1 to 5): 4 (The loss of one star is because of the inclusion of added oils and sugars in some recipes).
