Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Spinach, lemon & lentil soup

    • digifish_books on May 29, 2015

      I feel the cooking time (20 minutes) is too long, as all the veg was very soft. I will reduce to 10 or 15 minutes next time. (See personal note).

  • Risotto bianco

    • RosieB on May 28, 2015

      This is now my go to method to cook risotto. I use Suzanne's recipe as the base for a number of risottos. My favorite is scallop made with crayfish stock, also made in the pressure cooker. I have also made mushroom. All delicious and quick.

  • Daube of beef Provençale

    • Sparkles75 on December 05, 2019

      Simple and quite quick to put together however for our tastes the red wine was overpowering at 1 1/2 cups. I almost reduced the amount and next time I will. Definitely worth trying again as the beef was beautifully tender.

    • Victoria_from_London on October 14, 2022

      Amazing with buttery mash and also cavolo nero braised with onion and garlic. Always takes extra 20 mins in my Prestige stovetop, with good quality beef. A forgiving recipe: I always do something wrong and it works out! Delicious depth of flavour.

  • Beef goulash

  • Ruby-red quinces

    • Fazlet on May 15, 2026

      Brilliant! I substituted a bottle of moscato for the verjuice as I found it too sweet to drink. Made them a gorgeous colour and the extra liquid afterwards was a lovely cordial.

  • Creamy rice pudding

    • cassiemcgannon on July 27, 2012

      Works well with brown rice, but need to extend the cooking time - try 25 minutes.

Publishers Text

Remember the pressure cooker your mum used to have, and how you feared for your life as it hissed and rumbled away on the kitchen bench? How things have changed. The 'second generation' pressure cookers available today are sleek and easy to use, and all have locking lids which ensure that you can't lift the lid until the pressure has been released.

But the best thing about modern-day pressure cookers is that with them you can produce delicious, hearty, healthy meals in less than half the time it would take you to cook them on the stove or in the oven. You can whip up a slow-cooked ragu or an osso bucco in 25 minutes - a boon for the busy working mother or time-poor professional who still wants to cook and eat real food. And this book is packed with ideas about how to get the best from your pressure cooker. You'll be surprised at the diverse range of dishes you can create, from homemade hummus, barley risotto, domaldes, braised lamb shoulder and chicken tagine to classic desserts such as lemon cheesecake and cherry clafoutis. Suzanne Gibbs is passionate about cooking in her pressure cooker and her enthusiasm is conveyed on every page.

Pressure cooking saves money as well as time. The method uses far less energy and allows you to transform economical cuts of meat into something really special in no time at all. It's also a healthier way to cook - pressure-cooked foods require less cooking liquid, so the foods' vitamins and minerals are retained.
