Ultimate vegan cookbook for your Instant Pot® : 80 easy and delicious plant-based recipes that you can make in half the time

Vegan veteran Hester's (The Easy Vegan Cookbook) ode to the Instant Pot, an appliance that functions as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, warmer, yogurt maker, and sauté vessel, is a solid work for new Instant Pot owners and time-pressed vegans. Dishes that sound complicatedâ"such as cheesy potato pierogies, black chickpea curry, and a tres lechesâ"inspired dessert tamale filled with dates and caramelâ"come together in a matter of minutes. Hester's emphasis on flavor and ease will go a long way; she employs commonly sourced ingredients as often as possible, and the book is peppered with suggestions for substitutions. Helpful Instant Potâ"specific tips on settings and timing for certain dishes also help to ensure success. Readers without an Instant Pot will still be able to prepare vegan ricotta, andouille seitan sausage, and quick red curry zucchini noodle soup using other equipment (a pressure cooker in most cases). Though vegans with an Instant Pot will clearly get the most out of the book, cooks of all tastes and skill levels will appreciate Hester's inventive and approachable collection.
Vegans love their Instant Pots, too! Besides the great recipes, this book is a great example of how versatile the Instant Pot can be for different diets. -Candice

"Cakes in America aren't just about sugar, flour, and frosting. They have a deep, rich history that developed as our country grew. Cakes, more so than other desserts, are synonymous with celebration and coming together for happy times. They're an icon of American culture, reflecting heritage, region, season, occasion, and era. And they always have been, throughout history. In American Cake, Anne Byrn, creator of the New York Times bestselling series The Cake Mix Doctor, takes you on a journey through America's past to present with more than 125 authentic recipes for our best-loved and beautiful cakes and frostings. Tracing cakes chronologically from the dark, moist gingerbread of New England to the elegant pound cake, the hardscrabble Appalachian stack cake, war cakes, deep-South caramel, Hawaiian Chantilly, and the modern California cakes of orange and olive oil, Byrn shares recipes, stories, and a behind-the-scenes look into what cakes we were baking back in time. From the well-known Angel Food, Red Velvet, Pineapple Upside-Down, Gooey Butter, and Brownie to the lesser-known Burnt Leather, Wacky Cake, Lazy Daisy, and Cold Oven Pound Cake, this is a cookbook for the cook, the traveler, or anyone who loves a good story. And all recipes have been adapted to the modern kitchen,"--Amazon.com.
