    I was hoping to find some new and healthy recipes for my pressure cooker in this cookbook, but was disappointed. I don’t eat pork as it isn’t a healthy meat, in my opinion, yet there were pork recipes included. Also, there were many recipes with creamed soups, worcestershire sauce, beef broth and beef bouillion which are filled with MSG. Monosodium glutamate causes many people to become ill. I also don’t believe artificial sweeteners, such as Splenda, are good for your health, either. The book did have several healthy recipes, but not enough to call it a totally “healthy” cookbook. The author made a good attempt at cutting down the fat, etc. in the recipes by using low fat products and light margarine, but it still left a lot to be desired in the way of really healthy meals.

    I read the reviews before purchasing this book and read one about a WW person who liked it. I’m so glad I purchased this book. It is one of my favorite cookbooks. If you are on WW, you will easily be able to figure your point value for all food items. The recipes are easy and really use what most people have already in their cupboards. I find I favor using my pressure cooker and use this recipe book 3 or more times a week. I really did not use my pressure cooker before I had this cookbook because I wasn’t really sure how to change the “regular” recipes into WW recipes easily. This makes the muss and fuss out of it. I love this book!!!

    I was pretty disappointed with the recipes in this book. I haven’t found a single recipe that appeals to me. The book is full of recipes recommending “brand specific” ingredients such as cans of tomato soup, cans of beans or a packages of frozen mixed vegetables.

    I’d like to use my pressure cooker to prepare fresh food.

    I’ll keep the book because every once in a while its nice to make a quickie meal from the emergency shelf., but I don’t think it will ever land a spot with my favorites.

    Can you imagine making corned beef & cabbage with frozen sliced carrots and packages of shredded corned beef and cream of mushroom soup?

    I purchased this cook book after a recommendation from my Weight Watcher leader….when I went to Amazon and found it listed and at such a low price, I was so excited! I received it very fast and recommend it to anyone who has a pressure cooker….great and easy recipes!!!

    I bought an electric pressure cooker in anticipation of this book’s arrival. As someone who is a working mom, a student, a caring and busy wife, on top of wanting to lose weight…….this book is what you want. The recipes are simple, they are fast. If you have the kind of time it takes to spend all day chopping and prepping, then this book might not be what you are looking for. I know if I cook a recipe out of this book, most of the time my kid will eat it and like it. My husband always appreciates a hot, fresh meal on the table and this helps me keep both of them happy. I also love that I’m able to eat the same meal with them and not throw off my weight loss plan in the least.
