Very nice Instant Pot cookbook especially for those following a Paleo diet. There is a nice mix of recipes, from classic homestyle dishes to ethnic inspired choices. Even those who don't eat Paleo will find some tempting recipes. My sweet tooth must be in overdrive today, as all of the dessert recipes are calling my name!

Just say no, and here’s why:

Reason 1,2,&3... 70% of them could be cooked faster, more efficient as far as clean up goes, and taste better too if you used stovetop, oven, microwave. Just Keeping it 💯!
If cook alot, & value your time in the kitchen-you will know this!

With that being said, this does have decent recipes, I would make a lot of them, just mostly not in a pressure cooker! And I LOVE my pressure cooker.

I thought it was a very well written cookbook and the recipes are not hard to follow, though the prep work on several of the recipes will be time-consuming, which is kind of what using the Instant Pot is meant to avoid. I'll still make them, though, because they look fantastic. I feel like far too many recipes used wine without offering a substitution. I know that folks have pushed Paleo to the limits to include wine, but to me it just feels like a cheat for people who don't want to strictly adhere and I was disappointed to see it in a Paleo cookbook. This copy came from the library, but I liked this book enough that I will be buying my own copy.

There was one or two recipes I considered. Overall, I found Affordable Paleo Cooking with Your Instant Pot: Quick + Clean Meals on a Budget to be a better title for me. I thought this one focused too much on sweets and flour-based recipes.

Checked this one out in hopes of finding easy GF recipes for the Instant Pot that would work well while traveling. Didn't find what I was looking for (none of the recipes were particularly hotel-room friendly, which, too be fair is a tall order), but I did find a few that look interesting and I'll be trying at home.

Visually and organizationally, the cookbook is great--lots of attractive pictures, logically organized, straight to the point without any annoying filler. Testing the recipes is needed before any further judgement can be made.

The recipes look easy and delicious, but be warned that the recipes are very specific to the Instant Pot. I have a Cuisinart Electric Pressure Cooker which basically does the same thing, but has slightly different features which make Robins' recipes difficult to follow. I do like that she has slow-cooker options for many of the recipes.

So far my fav instant pot cookbook!!

Some of the best things you can do with the instant pot involve grains, but this is still worth checking out. Especially if you aren't doing a lot of recipe searches online.

Followed every recipe to the letter...and most of these recipes looked nothing like the picture, didnt have enough moister to cook with an instant pot or the food was still raw. I cant trust any of these recipes. In the garbage it goes.

Just delicious!

It's a cookbook, and one that I use often...even though "paleo" is not our diet choice.
