Rating  - Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure Lorna Sass
Excellent Book, goes great with my Fissler pressure Cooker. Fantastic book,it has not only recipes, but several "Time" charts to assist you with your pressure cooking experience, for everything from Beans, to rices,to vegetables, oh yes and GRAINS. As well as staple items to keep in the kitchen most used for pressure cooker meals,and other pieces of treasured knowledge. Super helpful, I have only had it a day and have already read and marked all the pages I'm going to try and already labled my time chart pages. Great book. I'm so glad I bought it!!! If you're vegetarian, and enjoy pressure cooking beans, veges and grains, you'll really appreciate this cookbook.
Rating - Electric stove top has NOT been a problem at all!
I use my pressure cooker with an electric stove top and have been for 15 years. The recipes in this book work great, as does my pressure cooker, on both my new stove in my "nice" kitchen and my vintage stove in the basement that I use for canning. I don't use a flame tamer or anything, and I've never had an issue.
Rating - Wow!
After living in Seattle for many years, I moved back to my tiny hometown in NW Minnesota; and I starting missing the wonderful Asian restaurants in Seattle. Restaurants here are sparse, and the cuisine is mediocre. Then one day I found Great Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure and tried the recipe for Thai chickpeas. It was EASY to prepare and I was able to make some adjustments that worked. In my small town, dried chickpeas are not available, but I used two cans of chickpeas which I rinsed carefully. Also, no store in town has any fresh basil but two teaspoons of dried basil worked perfectly. This turned out just as good as anything I ever tasted in the best Thai restaurants even though I omitted the cilantro. I'm the only vegetarian in a large family and my relatives are very scepticle of vegetarian food. When I served this over rice, they LOVED it and my home has become a favorite place for family dinners. By the way, rice cooks THE BEST in a pressure cooker. I made the Thai chickpeas ahead of time and reheated them while the rice was cooking. Perfection! Every single recipe I've tried in this cookbook has turned out scrumptious which is NOT the case with most cookbooks I've purchased where I'm lucky to find just a few recipes easy and tasty enough to be worth preparing. And most of the ingredients are easily found even in stores in a small remote town in NW Minnesota.
Rating - No pressure finding good recipes, tips and techniques for pressure cooking
If your vegan or vegetarian and you want to cook things quickly and still have great flavors and nutrition, this is the book for you. Lorna Sass takes the scary pressure cooker of old and makes it a cook friendly kitchen tool that can be used with confidence. After purchasing this book I dusted off my mothers old pressure cooker and then bought two of my own.
Lorna has placed reference tables, tips, techniques and variations for the recipes throughout the book. This is not only a great cookbook but a great reference book if your creating your own culinary masterpiece.
The recipes have great flavor, are easy to understand and use ingredients from the local supermarket. You can make Pasta E Fagioli in under 20 min cooking time or Paella Vegetariana in about 12 min cooking time. Try that in your regular cookware on your stove top.
I highly recommend this book to everyone.
