When it comes to pressure cooker recipes, Lorna Sass is one of the best known authors. She has published several pressure cooker cookbooks, and was one of the first to bring pressure cooking out of the "dark ages" and into... Continue reading

One of the first things that most people will tell you about cooking in a pressure cooker is that it's fantastic for recipes where you really want all the flavors to mesh together. Things like stews, curries, and chili are... Continue reading

It's not much of a secret that we love quinoa in this household. One of my friends recently posted a link to 32 ways to eat quinoa, and I decided I *had* to try this one. I love all of... Continue reading

A few days ago, someone posted a link to 24 Awesome Muffin Tin Recipes. I knew as soon as I saw it that I was going to have to try a few of them, and this one came up first... Continue reading

A few weeks ago, one of my friends posted an image on Facebook that said, among other things, that you could make spaghetti in a pressure cooker really easily. I was intrigued, and earlier this week I decided to try... Continue reading

Breakfast is always the hardest meal for me to have time to eat, for some reason. More often than not, I end up eating either granola and yogurt or a power bar. I've looked at recipes for homemade energy bars... Continue reading

Last weekend, I made my dark chocolate crème brulée and set the egg whites aside for another day. Last night, I decided to try my hand at meringue cookies. Trader Joe's has these in their dessert section, and they are... Continue reading

Also delicious with potatoes added at the beginning with the chicken.
I found this recipe a month or two ago, and it sounded intriguing. Muffins with cream cheese? And quinoa? And raspberries? I had to try them, since I pretty much like every ingredient in them. The end result was pretty... Continue reading

It took me a minute to decide what to call this one. The original recipe was Thai Crock Pot Chicken, but I decided to try it out in the pressure cooker instead. Don't get me wrong, I love my crockpot.... Continue reading

Let me just get this out of the way: there's no picture, because by the time this was ready tonight it was 9:00 and we were ravenous. That said, this is another surprisingly easy recipe and holy cow did it... Continue reading

I tried a version of this recipe a few weeks ago with a blade roast, and while it was good, it wasn't the right cut of pork and I knew it could be better. Today was the perfect day to... Continue reading

I know, I know. Another pressure cooker recipe. But it's a fun new gadget in my kitchen, and when it only takes a few minutes of active time, it's hard to beat for cooking a good dinner while juggling the... Continue reading

One of the first things I made in my pressure cooker was beef stew, but it was extremely simple (probably TOO simple), and I felt like it was missing something. I decided to try again tonight, and the result was... Continue reading

After my buffaloaf last week, Isaac started asking me to go to the store to buy ingredients to just make a regular meatloaf, like the kind they have at school. Never one to shy away from a challenge, especially when... Continue reading

I've made a few things in the pressure cooker now, but this is the first to be good enough to get pictures and a blog entry. I'm refining my beef stew recipe and will hopefully get that one up in... Continue reading

It's been a busy couple of weeks in my kitchen. I got a pressure cooker and a chef's knife for my birthday, so I've been playing with both of them and thoroughly enjoying them. I've made a couple of new... Continue reading

I used a cut up whole chicken, so it was bone-in with skin. You could easily adjust it to boneless skinless though.
I've been on a bit of a turmeric kick lately, and sockeye salmon was on sale yesterday, so I went looking for a recipe that combined the two. I adjusted this recipe to make more than one serving and voila,... Continue reading

This isn't really chicken bhurji, but it's the nearest thing I could think of to call it. One of my friends posted a rough recipe for bhurji on Facebook a couple days ago, and it sounded intriguing. Fast-forward to tonight,... Continue reading

This recipe has been on my list of things I want to make for a while now, and tonight I finally got around to making it. When we first tasted it, we both thought it was fairly mediocre, but as... Continue reading

I don't remember where I saw this recipe originally, but I think it was on Tastespotting. Wherever I found it, it sounded intriguing so tonight I gave it a whirl. It came out pretty dang good, but I only had... Continue reading

My friend Chris has been tinkering with this recipe for about a month, and I finally convinced him to give me the recipe. This is actually the second time I've made it this week. The first time, we devoured it... Continue reading

This has always been one of my favorite Indian dishes, but I hadn't tried to make it from scratch until tonight. It's surprisingly easy for such a complex flavor, and the spiciness is extremely easy to adjust. I made it... Continue reading

This is one of those recipes that almost everyone has heard of but surprisingly few people have made. I think the thought of peeling 40 cloves of garlic intimidates a lot of people, or perhaps the thought of eating 40... Continue reading
