I really enjoyed reading the intro to this book. I like how the author shares their experiences eating mostly vegetarian growing up, how they lost weight following whole foods nutrition and using pressure cookers/instant pot for quick and easy meals. I felt the personality in this book and I find cookbooks usually are harder to gauge that in an author. I was smiling during parts of the intro and left feeling like I knew the author a bit better. Some recipes also have so much personality. My favorite being ghee.

It has a very nice introduction to the instant pot. How to use it, what the basic functions and buttons do. This is nice for when your instant pot has been in a box collecting dust because you are scared of it like I was for the first year. It makes it seem friendly and approachable. It also has a very nice frequently asked questions section to tackle possible problems with pressure cooker recipes.

I love that the recipes include breakdowns of the times. Active cooking time, total time and what type of pressure release to do are easily seen at a glance. Also sub headings for vegan, gluten free, nut free, dairy free, egg free, 10 ingredients or less. A variety of cuisines and flavors, there should be something for everyone in this cookbook. The desserts look absolutely amazing and a bit different that I normally find/make so I'm excited for the new tastes.

Thank you NetGalley for the arc. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
