A fellow foodie talked me into buying a Fissler pressure cooker. It will change your life! Curtis Stone endorses our pressure cooker! Oh, the pressure she plied. Perhaps now is a good time to mention that her company sells these Fissler pressure cookers. The time you will save. The sales pitch. I will throw parties and show you what gourmet treats you can make from it. She certainly posts photos of what she makes in her Fissler pressure cooker, Korean goodies....but alas, she never invited me to a pressure cooker party. These Fissler pressure cookers come with a slim manual written in stilted English.
The pressure cooker has made a comeback since our grandmothers, but until recently, there were no cookbooks for the pressure cooker with recipes reflecting how we eat now, and the abundant produce available. Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough to the rescue.
The Great Big Pressure Cooker is a handy volume and promises 500 recipes for both stovetop and electric pressure cookers. The authors let you know how much effort each recipe requires, how much pressure, what kind of release. You'll find a lot of useful information and comforting recipes here. The main drawback is the paucity of photographs. Photographs reassure us our dishes look like they're supposed to. Perhaps more importantly, photographs also inspire us and alight our imaginations (tastebuds).
I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
