Industry Reviews
"There may already be plenty of Instant Pot cookbooks on the market, but none of them were crafted by a cook with Clark's blend of approachable adventurousness--and her flat-out skill in the kitchen."--Epicurious "[Clark] ensure(s) you don't have to sacrifice flavor for lack of effort."--Tasting Table

"A just-right collection with stunning photographs that will leave you grateful for every minute shaved off the wait for dinner." --T. Susan Chang, NPR

"A selection of delicious and reliable recipes for anyone who's completely addicted to their Instant Pot."--Buzzfeed

"New York Times reporter Melissa Clark writes recipes that are as reliable as they are appealing. She turns her attention to the popular Instant Pot, which she fell for writing a column testing out the device. Shakshuka? Port-braised short ribs with star anise? Indian butter shrimp? They're all within easy reach. (Those who don't have an electric pressure cooker will want to check out Clark's Dinner: Changing the Game, filled with workable weeknight recipes -- harissa chicken with leeks, potatoes, and yogurt; Vietnamese-style skirt steak with herb and noodle salad -- that still manage to excite.)"--The Boston Globe

"The recipes in Clark's book have a distinctly chef-y flair: think coconut yogurt, osso buco, and green Persian rice with tahdig. When culinary figures like Clark show enthusiasm for a gadget...it counters the idea that such devices are for amateurs only."--Publishers Weekly

"Melissa Clark's recently released Dinner was the talk of the cookbook world. Her newest book incorporates everything people loved about Dinner, but is geared toward using our favorite easy cooking appliances."--Huffington Post

"If you know anyone who is expecting a multicooker this year, this book is what you give them. The recipes are delicious, like a wild-mushroom risotto without the endless stirring! But what I, as a newbie to the pressure cooker game, loved most was Clark's instruction-- clearer than the guide that came with my machine." --Lauren Iannotti, editor in chief, Rachael Ray Every Day

"A much-needed book."--PureWow
