Best cookbook to learn pressure cooking
I'm an old cook but was new to pressure cookers/instant pots & fortunately stumbled on Urvashi Pitre's book in 2019 after buying our first instant pot. Since then I've bought it for our adult children when they've gotten their first pressure cookers: it's that good a cookbook & teaching tool.The biggest advantage to Dr. Pitre's cookbooks is that she knows what the IP technology does & how it affects food during the cooking process. Yes, her recipes are tasty & varied but they are also recipes that work in the steamy environment of a pressure cooker. That's SO important!Because pressure cookers use steam to cook quickly there are recipes that don't translate well to them, & foods cook with a lot less liquid that we're used to so you have to adjust both liquid levels & often the spicing levels as well to get a good outcome. Thus the best rice to use is Basmati because of how it cooks in steam, & you only need about 1/4 cup of liquid to cook 1 cup of rice. Too much more liquid & you'll get rice mush.This cookbook is a gem: you can cook the recipes as written & the recipes, including spice mix recipes, are easily adjusted to your own taste. After cooking a few recipes & getting a feel for instant pots I had no problem creating IP recipes for some of our family favorites & that's entirely due to Dr. Pitre's helpful, cheerful and supportive style of recipe writing.HIGHLY recommend!

great book
This is a great Instant Pot cookbook to have on hand. The recipes are well written and there is a great variety of things to try. I make the hummus recipe at least once a week - I will never go back to store bought hummus or using canned chick peas!

Oh, Buter Chicken Lady, You've Changed my Life!
EASY, well laid out recipes for amazing food. Buy the book. Her blog is a dizzying nightmare of spam and computer resource wasters.
