 Pressure Cooker Cooking, Cookbooks, October 1, 2008
Thule1 (Virginia, usa)
The best pressure cooker cookbook on the market. Outdtanding information and solid recipes. 470 pages - Great bargain. I recommend it.
 Good recipes overall but not for electric pressure cookers September 30, 2008
Adriana (Laramie, WY United States)
I have only tried a handful of these recipes. They turned out pretty great. However, they are all geared towards manual pressure cookers, NOT electric pressure cookers. The author is pretty clear about the fact that all her recipes are intended for manual pressure cookers and she is even a bit condescending towards those that purchase electric ones. I probably would have chosen a different book had I known that, since I own one of each and would like a book that covers both. If you own a manual one, I highly recommend this book though.
I use this cookbook a little more often than the Lorna J. Sass books. September 24, 2008

I want a complete balanced meal when I cook. This means I use the microwave, pressure cooker, stove, and oven all at the same time to cook everything. I don't usually cook one pot meals. Pressure cookers work great for meats and grains. Brown rice is quick and easy. I tend to use a pressure cooker mostly for meats, soups, and stews. The Lorna Sass books are very nice. The Sass Whole Grain book cannot be beat. I have all of the Sass books but I find I tend to use this book a little more often than hers. I am glad that I have all of these cookbooks. I would probably buy this book first to begin pressure cooking, then get the Sass books. They have things that are not in Miss Vickie's book. Vickie Smith and Lorna J. Sass are the two best authors of pressure cooker cookbooks. If you want vegetarian or vegan pressure cooking, get the Sass books. They are superior for that. For a good first general purpose pressure cooking cookbook I recommend you get Miss Vickie's Pressure Cooker Recipes.

I received my copy of "Miss Vickie's BIG BOOK of Pressure Cooker Recipes" and have been going through it and learning many new things! The recipes look "fool proof" and the tips are tremendous!
christmas gift for mom September 15, 2008
Vickie Kersey (midland, mi)
I purchased this for my mother to use with her Presto Pressure Cooker. She'll get it for Christmas. From looking at the recipes I know she'll love it. She loves using her pressure cooker, and there are lots of good recipes in this book. I am happy with my purchase.
