Thank you to Daniel Shumski and Workman Publishing Company for the privilege to read this early released for an honest review;

I love, love, love that this book started out with an extensive guide on how to use the instant pot.

I always feel a little wary of cookbooks about devices without any instruction, meaning the books is definitely closed off to beginners (or anyone who might have picked a device up in number of ways second hand), and a little slightest by ones that only have a handful of pages of instruction, that feels like it is just getting it out of the way.

This beginning felt like a fully flushed out invitation to come into the kitchen of someone who loved using an instant pot and couldn't wait to tell you all their secrets about how to use it. But wait, that's not it! At the beginnings of the chapters breaking down each of the features for the recipes, there are even more tricks and tips for each section (like the rice chapter, that explains the important differences of how to cook white rice one way but to use a different function for any other kind of rice), which is ingenious! Also, each one has suggestions for flavoring, too.

Once we got to the recipes they were gorgeous. The designed is well laid out pages, which never feel bunched or rushed, and more than not there are pictures to entice your eyes to the glory of the option in front of you. I got hungry and inspired to make so many things just reading through all of these mouth-watering entries, and best of all, with the instant pot, they take no time at all!… (mer)
