OPOS - One pot one meal is a groundbreaking invention in modern cooking and busy lifestyle which helps to cook your multiple favorite dishes in one go in less than 10 minutes. In this cookbook, all of the recipes followed one simple technique, pressure baking at high temperatures. One who loves cooking can surely check this book out. Apart from the dishes, this book throws the lights upon the methodology, instrument, appliances, and why to follow this method. But there is a flaw in the system rather a must requirement, you can't cook any dishes in the given time in a pressure cooker. You have to use a pressure baker instead and follow the methods from point to point. So if you are willing to use a cooker to cook the dish in minimal time, sorry to say, that won't be possible and the author has mentioned that in the first few pages of this book itself. Surely go for it, if you want to go through a healthy, hygienic, less time consuming cooking methods in your daily busy life style.

The complete OPOS cookbook: One- pot meal plans ready in 10 minutes by B. Ramakrishnan 📚



Opos is one pot one shot cooking. It is based on actually tried and tested culinary science. The book starts off by explaining the science behind OPOS. Then explains how exactly it works. It is quick type of cooking which would be helpful for anyone who is working. The book also had pictures with a recipes which really wanted me to start cooking right away.

The book also answer commonly asked FAQs right at the beginning of the book and any doubts you have is mostly cleared there itself. Though some OPOS recipes can be done with normal pressure cooker. Certain equipments need to be bought to use the OPOS method effectively. The basic concept used in OPOS is PRESSURE BAKING which was completely new to me.

Then the book moves on to basic and simple recipes. It explains all the aspects in detail. More complex dishes are also present after that. The book also has recipes for Modular cooking. It has different modules based on core ingredients for everyday of the week. Then there is an exciting section where there are recipes based on whatever is there in your fridge.

Overall, it was very informative and I can't wait to try it. It had good recipes for both non vegetarian and vegetarian cuisine. If you are looking for way to cook fast everyday, then try this out.

If you have rustic cooking skills, or don't know how to do this or how to do that then this book will explain everything to you in a very simple language. I ain't Gordon Ramsay or * insert name of any renowned chef * and if I can so can you. I have tried some recipes and really loved them! Easy to follow instructions and tasty outcomes. This book is going to be my cooking guide for years to come.
Pick this book up and cook some yummy dishes and impress your skeptical relatives and friends. Afterall, the way to one's heart goes en route stomach.

This is a must have book for everyone who is busy all the time but still crave for homemade food. To follow the recipes you DO NOT need any fancy equipment or exotic ingredients. You will just need a pressure cooker and an induction cooker and basic ingredients that is always available in your refrigerator.

If you are a busy person, and you feel like you are spending time on multiple dishes, then OPOS is obviously a rescue. Its a well researched book. You can call it in short at cooking 2.0. It deals with pressure baking, where that particular vessel (mentioned in book) should be used for all process. We have key and minimal prep to achieve the benefit of One Pot One Shot(OPOS). If you aren't aware if pressure baking, then we have a seperate chapter for basics. This book literally covers a bunch of recipies, where the name of the recipes are mentioned in all language. Much suitable for Indian cuisine. You can read it and try adopting few techniques and eventually if it appears feasible we can have it for long run.
