 Beware of some recipes June 7, 2006
Bruce T. Lockard (Scranton, PA United States)

I wonder if Ms. Wise realy cooked and tried out all these recipes?
The garbonzo bean preparation recipe at the times and temperatures
specified, left the beans to hard and inedible. The Bolognese sauce ,cooked at medium heat, left my new Fagor pressure cooker with a horrible scorch that took me two hours to scour out.(Many of the temperature setting look way too high for pressure cooking) She states that only baby Artichokes can be cooked in a pressure cooker...not true.etc. etc For a better, more reliable, pressure cooker cook book try "Pressure Cookers for Dummys"
 I guess I don't like gourmet June 19, 2006

To be honest, I didn't try a single recipe from this book. None of them sounded appealing enough or easy enough to bother. There were no cooking timetables that would allow me to adapt recipes I've made conventionally as I've seen in other pressure cooker cookbooks. I am glad this book was available at my public library and I was able to look over the book before I purchased it. If you're the sort of person who likes, or likes to experiment with, unusual flavor combinations and you love having the recipes very specific, this may be a good choice for you. I'll stick with the pressure cookbooks by Lorna Sass for now.
 Excellent gourmet recipes for a pressure cooker! April 22, 2007

The recipes in this cookbook are amazing, producing very well-balanced and complicated-tasting dishes. The Risotto with Porcini Mushrooms and Escarole is one of our favorites. To get these great results, the recipes in this book can be somewhat lenthy, complicated, and/or require unusal ingredients. When we don't have the time (or we're fresh out of escarole), we balance this book with the much simpler (both in terms of taste and preparation) recipes from The Pressure Cooker Cookbook by Toula Patsalis. The Pressure Cooker Gourmet contains a great collection of recipes we never would have been able to prepare before -- although they sometimes can be difficult, the dishes that result are well worth the effort!
Excellent Cookbook June 7, 2007

Although I haven't had the chance to try more than a handful of recipes, the ones I have tried have been terrific. Instructions are clear and easy to read.
Ingredient problem April 3, 2007

Gourmet is the major description of this book. It is not for some who just wants to use a pressure to prepare every day meals.
Disappointment!!
