Really?
I recently purchased an electric pressure cooker. When I ordered this cookbook, I was hoping for 365 recipes that provided variety, incorporated healthy ingredients and utilized simple preparation process. I also wanted ingredients that I had in my pantry or were available for purchase at my local grocery store. The book appeared to meet my expectations and then some. My husband and I have celiac disease and must adhere to a gluten-free diet. Most all the recipes were gluten-free, others allowed GF substitions (pasta) which left just a very few I could not use. You are probably wondering why I gave the book only two stars. The reason is actually something I really did not anticipate which left me both shocked and disappointed. I discovered numerous recipe errors regarding both the ingredients and instructions, spelling errors, etc. By the time, I reached the last page, I heard myself saying "this is nuts!". The way the recipes were placed on the pages was also another issue. Their were no pictures which is always a nice feature. I can best describe the printing of this book as a "hot mess"! I cannot recommend this cookbook to anyone.
