The Pressure Cooker Cookbook: How to Cook Quickly, Efficiently, Healthily, and Deliciously contains a very fine collection of delicious recipes that you can make in a fraction of the time that they would take in the oven or on the stovetop. And, if you have an electric pressure cooker, like my lovely Cuisinart, it’s fix it and forget it, just as with a slow cooker.

No frills in this cookbook, but with such tasty recipes, you won’t miss them. Barbecue-sauce-laden meatloaf, Flemish Beef Stew, Rosemary Pork Tenderloin, Chicken in Red Wine Sauce, Mushroom Risotto, Brandied Carrots (in just minutes!) and even Pineapple Bread Pudding and a classic cheesecake. What’s not too love?

My favorite pressure cooker cookbook ever is, of course, Bob Warden’s Great Food Fast; however, Kate Rowinski’s The Pressure Cooker Cookbook is definitely worth buying.
