Needs editing before you buy
I was excited to get this cookbook as most IP recipes are for a crowd. I needed one that made food for 1 or 2. This one does. However, there are lots and lots of editing errors that make following a recipe an act of creative thinking. For instance, the Instant Pot clams recipe fails to mention the clams in the ingredients or the amount in the directions. Then it says that the broth needs 1 cup of minced garlic...are you kidding me? That can't be right. The Low Carb IP muffins similarly list "Can Juice" as an ingredient (.25 c) and nothing else in the recipe comes in a can. Recipe after recipe has missing ingredients and the directions are often less than adequate. I don't mean just difficult to understand, they are in the wrong order and things are missing. I did make one recipe that is almost correct: the Shrimp and Steamed Asparagus. This is the only IP cookbook I've seen that suggests that you can cook fresh, not frozen, shrimp and have them come out cooked just right. It does work. But I had to change the directions around to put the directions in the right order. Overall, there are just too many errors in this cookbook. If edited, it might be great. The shrimp certainly were. But in its present state, most of the recipes would be failures. A cup of minced garlic in a pot of clams for two, are you kidding me?!
