Vegetarian Pressure Cooker Cookbook: 50 recipes for your plant-based lifestyle by Shannon WHite
Table of contents lists recipes in meal categories. Intro talks about plant based diet, how to get the most out of it, foods to eat and those to avoid along with tips.
Each recipe starts with a title, medium size color photo, servings, prep, cook time and inactive cooking time.
List of ingredients and you should be able to substitute for your healthier dietary needs: low sodium, low fat, low sugar and fresh vs. canned items.
Directions are given and there is some nutritional information per serving: calories, fats, carbs, protein and fiber.
Some recipes have a large amount of ingredients, be sure to have them all.
Never thought of doing some of these items in my pressure cooker, will have to give them a try.
Also has desserts and snacks, what a find! So many vegetable dishes combined with other items to make them look and sound very tasty.
Interesting recipe for making popcorn in the pressure cooker with a glass lid. Conclusion where author talks more about plant based meals.
