Summary: Lorna does it again!
Comment: Just when I think I've gotten hold of the sorts of things I can make in a pressure cooker, Lorna Sass comes out with another recipe book. There are so many exciting things in this book that I've been walking around hungry for days, just thinking about what I'll try next.
Tonight, I made the Meatloaf with Cheddar Smashed Potatoes. I was reticent. I love meatloaf, and I love my pressure cooker, but still... steamed meatloaf? I envisioned some kind of meat dish that fell apart instead of holding together. I pressed onward despite misgivings. It was possibly the best meatloaf I've had. Moist, flavourful... I had to cook it a couple of minutes longer to get the inner temp to 155 (16 minutes as opposed to 10 - I'm wondering if I let my cooker hiss too much while it's cooking so it's not getting up to the highest pressure), but it was completely worth it. Using the potatoes as a trivet in the bottom of the cooker while the loaf cooks is fantastic, because all the liquid from the meatloaf goes into the potato water. When you mash them up with the cheddar, they taste just fantastic. It was one of those recipes that you're not quite sure why you're doing things in the order listed, but after, it's an "aha!", as she once again gets everything done at the same time, with little to no nutrient loss at all. It ends up feeling like magic.
I can't recommend her books enough. When I think of how much cooking time I've saved over the years because of her guidance, I smile. Thank you, Ms. Sass, for another gem of a book.

Summary: Terrific Cookbook!
Comment: I have three pressure cooker cookbooks, and this is by far my favorite. The recipes are great. But, IMHO the best thing about this book is the detailed timing charts. Apart from timing charts at the beginning of each section, many of the main dish recipes include timing information so that you can easily vary the cut of meat used.
When I make my own tried & true recipes, I often refer to the timing chart to determine how to best make them in the pressure cooker.
There are also variations and "transformations" for many of the recipes. For instance, the Pot Roast with Mushroom Gravy recipe can be modified to make German-Style Pot Roast, Pot Roast with Light Tomato Sauce, or Brisket with Mushroom Gravy instead.
Although the cookbook is not specifically designed for electric/digital pressure cookers, I've had no problem making any of the recipes in my digital cooker.

Comment: I looked at this book when I first got it and decided the receipes were not anything I would ever make I sent the book back because it is too technical example What the hell is a reconstituted mushroom?

Summary: Good cookbook for Pressure Cookers
Comment: I just got a Fagor pressure cooker and not a clue how to make stuff in high altitude. I got several pressure cookbooks and this one was a good addition. Pressure Perfect gives many options for one recipe which I really like. The first recipe I tried was the Green Split Pea soup. It has wonderful flavor and was a hit with my husband who loves split pea soup. I just moved to high altitude area near Denver so that is why I got a pressure cooker. The soup was done in 30 minutes! Yum!!
