Vegan Pressure Cooking, Revised and Expanded

With the rise in popularity of instant pot and pressure cooking in general, it was about time for a good beginner's vegan pressure cooking cookbook.

The book begins with a lot of information to help home chefs become comfortable with the idea of pressure cooking. Over a dozen pressure cooking questions are answered clearly and thoroughly. The information is really useful, and makes the book quite beginner-friendly.  

The short table of how long it takes to cook specific grains and beans is very impressive, and convinces the reader to use their pressure cookers more often. One minute for quinoa? Eight minutes for brown lentils? I have cooked brown lentils for hours to get them to the correct lentils. Having them finished in eight minutes makes me want to permanently install a pressure cooker on the counter top! There is a longer, more comprehensive cooking time and amount table of grains, beans and vegetables just before the recipes section.

Recipes are divided into six sections:

Beans and Grains
Soups and Stews
One-Pot Meals
Meal helpers and Veggie Sides
Sauces and Dips
Sweet Treats

The recipes themselves are straightforward and clear, and vary from basic grain preparation to more intricate dishes.with more additional ingredients. Great flavour combinations and unique pairings make for a wonderful selection.

Nice addition to a home chef's cookbook collection, and would be a lovely gift when paired with a pressure cooker, or by itself.

I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Fabulous cookbook for the course we are running right now --- it is so hard to get people to eat vegetables and this book is a good…no, a great way to get them to eat it! The recipes were simple and the end results look divine – I cannot wait to cook my way through this book!

I bought an Instant Pot pressure cooker a couple years ago, and while I absolutely love the results when I use it, I am still timid. Rationally, I know it’s entirely safe. I suit up with my “Ove Gloves” whenever I get near it, but I probably need more gear to feel even more comfortable! 

In the past, I’ve had to modify many of the other recipes I’ve made to make them vegetarian or vegan, so I was jumping for joy when I saw this vegan pressure cooker cookbook available! No modifying! No guesswork with the cook times either because I can actually follow the complete recipes from start to finish! 

Filled with stunning color photos, not of every recipe; however, it seems like some photos may have been left out to make room for more recipes, which is not a bad thing! 

This book is chock-full of a variety of items I will make and use as staples again and again. Recipe categories like beans and grains (the basics!), one pot meals, soups and stews, meal helpers, veggie sides, sauces and dips, and desserts; it really has it all. 

I can easily say I would make most anything in this cookbook (except I would substitute any soy with something else). If you are looking for for a vegan or vegetarian cookbook to utilize with your pressure cooker, this is a fabulous go-to! 

Thank you to J.L. Fields, Fair Winds Press/Quarto, and Netgalley for the ARC. Vegan Pressure Cooking is available now!

This book would make a fantastic gift for someone who cooks on a daily basis or at least a couple of times a week, very nutritious and healthy recipes, the charts are useful even for the absolute dummy in the kitchen.
Really good introduction, delicious looking recipes, I'd highly recommend this book to people who're trying to eat healthily but trying to avoid the fuss of too much prep & time investment for a single meal.

My daughter is a vegan.  I’m a ’sometimes’ vegan but I have to admit, despite having had a pressure cooker for over 30 years, I have only ever really used it for soups or for boiling plain beans.  For whatever reason, I never considered flavouring up the beans to create a whole dish in the pressure cooker.   This book is inspiring me to do just that. 
 
From the very first page, the stunning and vivid photos capture your attention.  They make you want to get cooking.  This book encourages you to cook healthy vegan dishes simply and quickly using staples that most vegans would have in their fridge and/or larder cupboard. There is something for everyone in this book, recipes for mains, sides, breakfasts, desserts and plenty more.  My pressure cooker is finally about to get the attention it deserves.

Many thanks to Netgalley for a copy of this ARC for which I have given my voluntary and unbiased review.

Well I’ve had my pressure cooker for about 20 years, no idea when I last used it, but I was only to steam vegetables, not once did I make a complete dish.  What a waste, it holds so much potential.  Saving time and dirty dishes.  So easy. The recipes that I tried were tasty and quick and easy to prepare and cook.  I’m not vegan, but I have been a vegetarian for 25 years, my family eat meat, but are all happy to eat vegetarian or vegan on occasion.  All the instructions were clear and concise, including those for the use of a pressure cooker (I have no idea where my instructions are so having pressure cooker information as well as recipes was a real bonus).  I can’t wait to experiment with more recipes.  My favourite so far are the one pot recipes. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest review.

I've been looking for a good vegan instant pot book, and I would say that this is the best one out there. This book covers the basics, but also has some interesting dishes that I've never seen before. Especially useful is the beginning chapters which cover the basics of how the instant pot works, and the tables featuring common instant pot staples and their cooking times. This book is something I plan on referencing again and again, and I can't wait to try some of these recipes out. The pictures and graphic design are gorgeous as well.

I am vegan and I love cooking in my electric pressure cooker.  I am always looking for new vegan cookbooks.  I was pleased to see Vegan Pressure Cooking.  There are several things that I love about this cookbook.  The recipes in this cookbook are practical, which is a plus to me.  Many pressure cooker cookbooks include have many recipes for things that you can make in a pressure cooker, but probably wouldn't.  I love that these recipes are practical, like lots of bean and soup recipes.  When I think about my pressure cooker, I think beans and soups.  I also like the photos in this cookbook, but I would have preferred to have a photo of every recipe.  I don't cook with oil.  I like that most of the recipes that include oil can be modified to be oil free.

I've been looking for a good vegan book , dare I say this is one of the best ones out there. I can't wait to try some of these recipes and give it a try to my pressure cooker .

There's only so much you can do with vegan food but this book elevates vegan to a whole other level. Recipes are mostly budget friendly, easy, and hearty. The variety of recipes is a huge plus too. Definite must-have addition to a cookbook collection.

Thank you Netgalley for the electronic copy of the the Vegan Pressure Cooking, Revised and Expanded book.  I have been vegan for upwards of 5months now so I was extremely excited to receive a copy of this new vegan cook book.  I loved everything about this book, from the dietary advice to the tips on soaking beans and making soups.  The pictures in this book are beautifully done, the illustrations are vibrant and an excellent addition to the recipes.  I highly recommend this book and all the recipes I have tried were delicious, this book will definitely be referred to again and again by me.

I think this is an excellent book for someone who is vegan or wanting to explore veganism. I am not vegan, but I love my Instant Pot and was hoping for some good veggie heavy recipes. What I found were carb heavy recipes, which makes sense because vegans need to get their protein from grains. I think there were some excellent recipes in the book, just not many that would work for my grain free lifestyle. There were a few though that I will definitely be giving a try. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who follows a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle or who just want more varied recipes for their Instant Pot.

Great recipes included in this book. Especially for someone who is a pretty picky eater. I found plenty of recipes I can't wait to try.

This is a great title that catered to both those interested in a vegan diet and using a pressure cooker. Recommended for any public library.

I'm obsessed with my Instant Pot, so I'm always looking for new recipes to try. I attend several monthly potlucks, and I can't wait to test out some of these recipes on the attendees!

I want to cook healthier, and had never used a pressure cooker, so this book was very helpful on both counts!
