rjordan19 's review for:
Overall a nice addition to the vegan kitchen, I'm always looking for more instant pot cookbooks.
Recipes are marked with gluten free, soy free, oil free, nut free for easy avoidance of desired ingredients. I love that oil free is included, as I try to avoid oil when I can, but don't see it in cookbooks often.
It gives a brief rundown of your instant pot and the settings you can use. I even learned some tips even though I've been using my instant pot for over 2 years! It also covers some good accessories to have.
Pictures to me are huge in a cookbook. I want to know what the food looks like and the pictures are usually what will encourage me to try a recipe. Personally found this cookbook lacking a bit on the pictures. Other people probably don't care about this, but if you do:
Breakfast has 4 pictures of 14 recipes
Entrees, soups and stews has 8 pictures of 39 recipes
Salads and sides has 5 pictures of 22 recipes
Snacks and appetizers has 4 pictures of 12 recipes
Desserts has 4 pictures of 10 recipes
Staples has 0 pictures of 6 recipes (Things like almond milk, cashew cream, broth, bbq sauce, and almond ricotta)
That's only 25 pictures for over 100 recipes and that makes me sad. Loved the pictures that we in there though!
The thing I'm the most excited about is instant pot granola. I never thought that was possible and just love the idea. The book has a great variety of yummy breakfast options. With fall coming up, a nice warm breakfast being made while I can do other things in the morning is a huge plus!
As for the rest, I love the idea of portobello burgers in the IP. We make them on the grill but this literally takes minutes. Amazing idea. I also love the sloppy joes. So many lentil sloppy joe recipes don't that that more original sloppy joe sauce (many I have seen call for cumin and chili powder, not bad but just different). This was more the original and I really like that! Also there's a tomato soup from real tomatoes that is quick and easy. I'm not big on recipes that will have me using the IP and the oven. If I'm going to use the instant pot, I want it just to be the instant pot, but again that's just a personal preference.
Overall a great book! Definitely will be adding some of these recipes into my rotation.
