Book Reviews of Pressure Cooking for Everyone
Book Review: All Good!
Summary: 5 Stars
The recipes in Pressure Cooking for Everyone are beyond good! I first purchased this marvelous cookbook to try the Tuna Steaks in Basque Sweet Pepper Ragout on page 89. Wow! Shrimp and Saffron Risotto followed and I now know why Risotto lovers love Risotto! Five-Spice Pork Roast is to die for, Boeuf Bourguignonne fed friends on New Year's Eve and our most recent shared meal, Borscht with Beef Shanks and Fresh Beets, was a HUGE success! I have now purchased three copies! A second for our home and a third as a gift for our daughter to go with a pressure cooker gift. This is definitely NOT your Grandmother's Pressure Cooker Cookbook. Get ready to dine well and fall in love with your Pressure Cooker! Rick Rodgers and Arlene Ward have written a true winner here!Book Review: Rick and Arlene are the best!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book and took a pressure cooking class at Arlene's school in Wayne, NJ - Adventures In Cooking. She and Rick Rodgers are really the experts when it comes to pressure cooking. The recipes in this book are wonderful - my favorites are the risottos. I still can't believe that risotto could be so easy - only 8 minutes and no stirring! I'd recommend this book to anyone who hasn't the time to spend in the kitchen, or just likes great food prepared quickly. And if you're in NJ, check out the pressure cooking classes at Adventures In Cooking and see Rick and Arlene together in person.Book Review: Not for those who want their food well-seasoned...
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm disappointed in how bland the meat dishes are. As one reviewer said, increase your seasonings. I've also had to decrease the pressure cooking times on some because the meat would come out almost in shreds! There's also one recipe that surprised me - the short ribs that have to be cooked three times - first to brown, then pressure cooked twice, and then crusted and baked. Good grief! Doesn't all that defeat the supposed ease of using a pressure cooker? Overall, it's not a bad book; it's just not as good as I had hoped it would be.Book Review: Not everyday recipes, but a good book
Summary: 4 Stars
The book is well written, well presented, with some images, and the recipes are short and very clear. The seleccion of recipes covers from the basics (stocks, broths) to more ellaborate dishes and desserts. There are also tips on pressure cooking, not only recipes. The only downside to the book is that most of the recipes are a bit too "gourmet", and not for everyday cooking (which is what I was looking for). Other than that, I strongly recommend the book.Book Review: Great Recipes!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I looked at almost every book on the market for pressure cookers and this was one of the books I chose. I liked the variety of the recipes, the pictures which alot do not have and the information was helpful if you are new to pressure cooking. I found it to be very thorough and covered a wide range of dishes...meat, poultry,desserts and even just vegetable and bean dishes if you are not into meat.....Highly Recommended!!!!
