Book Reviews of Miss Vickie's Big Book of Pressure Cooker Recipes

Book Review: Excellent Cookbook for Pressure Cooking
Summary: 5 Stars

If you're looking for a good history, reference and cookbook on pressure cookers, Miss Vickie's Big Book of Pressure Cooker Recipes is a must have upon your kitchen reference shelf! The recipes are wonderfully easy to follow with an excellent ingredients list and plain, easy to read instructions on fixing the food, and, oh, the spices, and the aromas, they're a meal for the nose alone!

I find myself curling up on the couch and reading Miss Vickie's as if it's a good book on a rainy day. It gives a satisfying boost to my culinary repertoire and has taken me away from my ever so often what-to-fix-tonight dilemma. There is always a recipe inside the cover which gives me inspiration, and, if I don't have the exact ingredients, a little tweaking is all it takes to adjust it to what I have in the kitchen. I especially love the little side dish serving suggestions and how to dress the dish up, or not.

The snag to this book is it has me toying with the thought of complementing my eight-quart pressure cooker with a smaller one...um...now where to put it.
