i was disappointed, many who i talked to recommended the Lorna Sass pressure cooking books. 90+% of the recipes were made with foods I would never consider eating. so for my family there may be 5 or 6 recipes that i would consider trying. if its made with foods they won't eat, then this cookbook was not meant for me. That's my opinion and i would guess that others find it very useful for them, but not for me.
