Comments:
Minimal basic instructions,
and the usual cook tables, but probably
not the FIRST book I would recommend
for novices. It is certainly a great
cookbook once you feel comfortable with
pressure cookery in general. Has especially
good sections on seafood, vegetables
and grains, but not very big on soups
or casserole type recipes. Recipes are
different from the run of the mill stuff
and most recipes come with several variations
so you really get a lot of recipes.
For example there is a recipe for Beef
and Vegetable Casserole with variations
for Tomato Pot Roast, Sweet Potato
Pot Roast and Chili pot Roast with Beans.

Comments: About 1/2 of the book is
dedicated to explaining the art of pressure
cookery for beginners and novice cooks.
There are plenty of diagrams and pictures
with arrows and directions,
so this would be an excellent starting
cookbook for anyone new to pressure
cooker. The recipes are fairly simple
and commonplace, nothing to write home
about on that point. As in other books
by this author there is a Mediterranean
flare to many recipes. He also includes
a regular stove top version with many
of the pressure cooker recipes.

Comments: The recipes in this cookbook
are in a word - different. Recipes are
French and perhaps use ingredients that
are not commonly found in the American
kitchen, or appeal to our tastes either,
but if you're looking for something
out of the ordinary this cookbook has
it. Unique recipes for Stale Bread Soup,
Eel in Muscat, Roast Wild Boar are
a bit exotic, but there are plenty of
meat, stew and soups recipes that look
appealing. Large sections
on fish, vegetables, but rather weak
in beans, rice and grains. One of the
things that struck my about this book
was the numerous spelling and grammar
errors, maybe something was lost in
the translation from French to English?
Also the little filler graphic are just
awful and the author should have omitted
them.

Reviewer's
Comments:
This book has clear instructions
and the recipes are not very complicated,
just regular home-cooking type food
for the most part. There are not many
recipes for beans and no one pot or
casserole recipes. I would say that
most of the recipes, or ones very similar,
can be found any place else on the web.
There is very little help for beginners,
not even the usual time charts, so if
you aren't already familiar with pressure
cooking this book won't be much help.
This book has many photos, but they
are "artsy" photos, very blurred
and out focus and do nothing to show
what the finished recipe would look
like. The recipes are only one to a
page so there is a lot of wasted space.
