Summary: A Classic Cookbook
Review: I rely on the charts for cooking beans and grains and love the risotto recipes. The timings are all right on the money. Chicken with lentils and spinach is also a great favorite. Lorna Sass really takes you by the hand and teaches you all the great things you can do in a pressure cooker.
I get rave compliments when I cook her easy-to-follow recipes.

Summary: great for novices with wonderful recipes
Review: I was always afraid of pressure cookers, but this book sold me on them. All the recipes I have tried are great; my children will eat them too. For me it has the ease of a crockpot, but without having to prepare the ingredients in the morning. I highly recommend this book. It also is a good introduction to vegetarian cooking.

Summary: The pressure cooker bible
Review: I've used this cookbook since I started cooking with a pressure cooker seven years ago, the recipes are consistently reliable and delicious. I've given this book along with a pressure cooker as wedding presents to my two brothers who are now both avid pressure cooker chefs. I've also adapted recipes of my own, my mother has a holiday red cabbage recipe,cooked like Lorna Sass' own red cabbage recipe it now it takes 5 minutes to cook instead of 1 1/2 hours and doesn't make the house smell of cabbage. I'm looking forward to buying some of her other books.

Summary: Pressure Cooking Made Easy!
Review: My mother and grandmothers all had pressure cookers... Mainly for beans and canning. I was using mine to quick cook chicken before making chicken soups. I am so glad I have this book. What variety and challenges! Now, lots of different bean soups without guessing the amounts of herbs and spices and how long to cook (which I am very bad at). Also, I modify reciepes for various meats (per my husband's request). It is so easy with this book!!

Who would have thought Dessert from the Pressure Cooker? Not me!

My favorite thing about this book is on the inside of the back cover are pressure cooking times for various beans. Definately handy when just whipping up a pot of mom's pintos.

If you have one of the new pressure cookers, or know a friend who does, this is a must for your kitchen library.

Summary: Great approach to pressure cooker cooking; super recipes!
Review: Pressure cooking is, unfortunately, very misunderstood. This book should go a long way towards changing that. It presents an excellent range of recipes, well organized and written, and every one of which we've tried has been fabulous. Because of the speed and flavor, we've been pressure cooker fans for three years, and this book opened our eyes to new possibilities. Ms. Sass's taste in spiciness tends to be a little milder than ours, but once you see where she's coming from, it's very easy to adjust. We'll try the vegetarian version of the book, too

Summary: A nonpareil
Review: Really the only book you need on pressure cooking. Superb. the section on grains is definitive; the pressure cookers themselves who have recipes aren't this accurate on the time/pressure/water
scenario.
