Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a terrific cookbook that includes far more guidance and advice than just about any guide I have yet come across. Except for one major letdown, I would rate this at LEAST five stars. Before discussing that disappointment, though, let me explain why I still find this to be an exceptional aide in the kitchen. As will be evident as you peruse the attached screenshots, the author has a knack for summarizing her tried and tested mouth-watering dishes. Each recipe provides prep & finishing times; pressure cook duration; release times; as well as soak times (when appropriate). Ingredient listing is clear and easy to follow and is followed by instructions. She then explains how to double the recipe and, frequently, how to use the leftover ingredients; and, of special interest to me, she provides nutritional information. Three dishes stood out for me as especially welcome: A – North African Chickpea Stew; B – Pinto Beans with Chorizo (my absolute favorite sausage) C – Spaghetti Squash with Browned Butter and Parmesan I love the variety of dishes beyond explanation, and the method of presentation. So, what is the one disappointment? Simply put, too few photographs. I, and I believe many cooks, love to be able to view the dish we’re trying to prepare. Otherwise, though, this is an EXCEPTIONAL cookbook. BOTTOM LINE Four stars out of five. I am striving to produce reviews that help you find books that you want, or avoid books that you wish to avoid. With your help, my improvement will help other readers find books they enjoy reading..
