which I especially like. This book is extremely thorough and has recipes ...
I have tried several Instant Pot cookbooks and I have found this one to have the most fullproof recipes, probably because it is “authorized by Instant Pot”, as it states on the cover. In the first pages the author, Coco Morante, tells you how to use your Instant Pot, whether using the pre-programmed or manual settings. She also has a section on how to convert recipes for the Instant Pot. Almost every recipe comes with a full page, lovely photograph of that dish, which I especially like. This book is extremely thorough and has recipes for the pantry which I find very useful. For example, did you know that you can make yogurt with your IP? I never knew that! There are recipes for mayo, broths, applesauce, caramelized onions. There are separate chapters for breakfast, beans and grains, soups and chilis, poultry, beef and pork, vegetables and side dishes, pantry, and desserts. There’s also a really good recipe for Honey Tumeric Tonic which is great if you have the cold or the flu. I like how this book has very nutritious and healthy recipes along with several different ethnic foods such as borracho beans, Korean braised beef short ribs, Jamaican-style Rice and beans, Chana Masala, and Indian Inspired Okra and Cauliflower with Cucumber Yogurt Sauce. This is my “go to” Instant Pot cookbook for sure! I have really enjoyed making several of these recipes. The recipes are easy to follow and the author details everything you need to know for your IP for each recipe. So while I’m realtively new at using my IP, I have found her recipes easy to follow and understand. Tonight I’m going to make the chicken and dumplings soup! I highly recommend this book and give it 5 stars! There are recipes sure to please every appetite in this book, from down-south comfort food recipes to unique ethnic ones!
