The Complete Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook - Power Pressure Cooker XL Top 500 Recipes

Review:I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy
The cookbook had a variety of recipies that were simplistic if you had the ingredients
First off I am a baker and love to use my pressure cooker for meals the ingredients that were called for are not the typical American pantry items I’m not talking about the main ingredients I’m talking about vanilla paste nope didn’t have that so crossed those recipies off my can do list
Then went looking for something else that one called for gh... Read more

Review:A very happy cookbook with a family focus. The chances that we will marry into the Pollan family or be invited over for dinner are small; so this is the next best thing.

I recommend the Pollan signature salad that includes mesclun, walnuts, pear, and a mustard, raspberry vinegar, olive oil, balsamic vinegar dressing (it is made by each of the sisters, their mother and brother; and it is requested by their friends and family for potlucks); the golden baby artichokes with lemon zest; their...

An In-Depth Exploration of Essential Concepts and Processes from around the World

Review:Years ago I bought Wild Fermentation and I loved Sandor's accessible approach to fermentation. He really does take the fear out of fermentation. Even though I had been fermenting for well over two decades I was inspired to ferment a wider variety of foods. The Art of Fermentation has inspired me to continue experimenting in the kitchen. And as Sandor points out fermentation is closely tied to the grassroots food movement. I am certain that this book will inspire many others to not only ferment b... Read more

The Diet That Lets You Eat All You Want (Half the Time) and Keep the Weight Off

Review:Just finished reading the book. I have started using the EOD, and I'm excited about it. May be, this time I will be successful - lose and not gain the weight back. It seems something that is totally doable: One day feast and next day modified fast. The only comment I would have is that the recommendations for the fast day is primarily frozen meals. I think this is the easiest way to get started and be successful. However, I think for long-term good health, you must move away from so many process... Read more
