Miss Vickies Big Book of Pressure Cooking Recipes
Wonderful Book. I loved it so much I bought my brother one. It uses everyday ingredients and is for normal cooking, nothing so fancy it cannot be pronounced. And the results are delicious. I have used the book 4 or 5 times and the dishes were delicious. I recommend this book for any level of experienced cooks. My brother used it for stew and it turned out great, and he is not a very good cook!!! I would rate it 5 stars or more, the information is regarding pressure cookers is the most extensive I have ever seen. It is for stove top cookers, and I use an electric one, but everything I've tried turned out great.

Great cookbook for beginners
I already have this cook book for over a year. Got it when I got my new pressure cooker. It is a very comprehensive book and good for the beginner. Therefore, I bought this one for a graduating college student who is getting a pressure cooker for a birthday/graduation present. This book explains the basics of how a pressure cooker works, has time charts for cooking all kinds of veggies and beans, and has lots a good recipes that are not fancy and just use common ingredients. Just good home cooking!
