Remember how wonderful home cooking tasted when you were a kid? Remember the comforting aromas that filled your house, the delicious soups and stews that warmed your childhood winters? They can all be yours again. From the elegant to the ethnic to the traditional, this collection of recipes is comfort food at its fastest and best. With pressure cookers, even inexpensive cuts of meat become tender and succulent; soups, stews, and sauces taste as if they’ve been simmering for hours; pot roast melts in the mouth; rice, beans, and grains are ready in minutes. Lorna Sass introduces an eclectic array of dishes that can be prepared on a whim:

• Classic ossobucco in only eighteen minutes
• Chicken gumbo in nine
• Superb risotto in just six minutes
• Even chocolate cheesecake and Grand Marnier bread pudding are done to perfection in record time

Shorter cooking times allow foods to retain their nutritional content, and the pressure cooker is ideal for preparing grains and beans, which are low in cholesterol and high in fiber. Also included in the book are charts and tables that take the guesswork out of cooking foods under pressure.

From hearty, home-style comfort food to dishes from the globe’s greatest cuisines, treat yourself to this wonderful world of satisfying flavors: Take the pressure out of cooking and put the taste and nutrition back in.
