I am really enjoying this book. It has a lot of information on cooking all different food types in the pressure cooker as well as tips to ensure success. (When reading, I recognized some of my previous cooking errors.) There are comprehensive pressure cooking time charts and information for multi-level cooking as well as real variety in the recipes . They predominantly call for fresh and easy-to-find ingredients.

I wanted to address the low-rating reviews that recommended Lorna Sass's books over this one. I own two Lorna Sass books: while they are quality cookbooks and do include more recipes for vegetables and grains, there is information in Miss Vickie's cookbook that does not appear in Lorna Sass's. I do understand that people's needs and preferences are different, but there is much in this book to recommend to all pressure cooker users.

There may be other motives in some reviews in which Miss Vickie's book is not accurately represented. I used to visit a pressure cooking forum on Vegsource (a vegetarian website). One day, Miss Vickie posted in response to a question on that forum and was attacked by other members of the site because she has meat-based recipes on her own website. When I quietly reported this to the moderator, hoping to have the offending post removed, I was banned from the site. Lorna Sass is heavily promoted on this site because she has written a book for vegetarian pressure cooking (although, paradoxically, she authored several other books containing numerous meat recipes). This experience has colored my view of some of the negative postings.

Purchased this book when I replaced my 40 year old pressure cooker as I thought perhaps I could benefit from a refresher course. Am very pleased with this book. It is very informative, well organized, and there are several new recipes I would like to try. Another reviewer said there were weird ingredients in some dishes...well, leave them out, adjust the recipe to suit yourself &/or family. That's what all of us who have been cooking for a life time do & why there are so many "variations on a theme". We wing it, make do, and continue to produce tasty, healthy dishes for our families. Miss Vickie's book is a winner!

The pressure cooker techniques are fine. I've used and sold many brands of cooker, so I was hoping to find some new recipes.

The recipes in this book are heavy on fat and overcooked vegetables and chicken breasts. Chop suey? What's that? Not Chinese, by any stretch of the imagination. Some recipes feature canned mushroom soup.

I'm giving this to the Salvation Army. Money wasted. Stick with Lorna Sass.
