Jill’s latest cookbook, due out January 12th, 2016, takes off where The New Fast Food left off. It has new, and improved, cooking charts, as well as more information on using your pressure cooker, stove top or electric, in imaginative ways. Think of cornbread, cakes, cheezecakes and much more. The 12 robust chapters, in this more than 300 page book, cover information on how to make your own herb and spice blends to how to make veggies burgers like a pro with ingredients cooked in the pressure cooker. The recipe chapters contain 175 recipes that cover dishes from breakfast through dessert and many other dishes throughout the day and year.
For the growing number of people who eat vegan, a pressure cooker is a blessing when it comes to saving time and enjoying a wider variety of foods on a regular basis. The pressure cooker drastically shortens the cooking times of healthful vegan staples such as dried beans and ancient grains: suddenly hummus from scratch and braised artichokes become weeknight fare. In Vegan Under Pressure Cookbook, Jill Nussinow shows how to use the appliance safely and effectively, and reveals the breadth of vegan fare that can be made using a pressure cooker, including Roasted Pepper and White Bean Dip, Harissa-Glazed Carrots with Green Olives, Pozole Chili, Farro Salad with Tomatoes and Arugula, Thai Summer Vegetable Curry, a chapter of veggie burgers, Cornbread, Pear-Almond Upside Down Cake, and DIY soy milk and seitan.
We can not do soy or nuts and I was wondering if the book contains lots of soy recipes. Also if it has so is there options to swap it out in the book?
I pre-ordered your new cookbook at Amazon last April. I’m anxiously waiting for it’s release. I know it’s going to become a go to cookbook.
Thank you. I can’t wait to get a copy in my hands.
I have an InstantPot electric pressure cooker. Are there instructions in your new book for how to make the recipes work for electric pressure cookers?
Michelle,
The directions in Vegan Under Pressure are simply written so that you just set the time on the pot for the time stated in the recipe. The recipes have been tested in electric pressure cookers.
My current book The New Fast Food has directions written for the stove top pressure cooker but thousands of people use the recipes in their electric cookers, many of them are Instant Pot users. The big difference when reading the current directions is that where it reads “bring to high pressure and lower the heat to maintain pressure”, you just set the time on the pot and then follow the rest of the instructions which are either manual release or quick release. Also, if it says to saute over medium heat, you use the saute function to do that.
The recipes are very easy to adapt to the electric cooker.
I hope that this helps.
Jill
The recipes in the New Fast Food work well for those of us who eat WFPB. Is that true of this book also?
Also, if you tested all the recipes in an electric cooker will the times transfer to a stovetop pressure cooker?
TIA
Yes, this new book Vegan Under Pressure is also plant-based, with mostly whole foods.
The recipes work in both the electric pressure cooker and the stove top pressure cooker.
I am pretty sure that I have covered all the bases with this book. The two chapters that I am happiest with are the spice blends and the veggie burgers chapters. There are also appetizers, sauces, toppings and much more.
Thank you for asking.
Jill
What’s the difference with your new book compared to The New Fast Cooking book?
The new book Vegan Under Pressure has at least 150 new recipes, including a chapter on Spice Blends, one on making burgers from already cooked ingredients and a recipe for cornbread as well as for making cakes. It’s the follow up to The New Fast Food which has more of the basic ingredients. Both have cooking charts that work well.
does your new cookbook have a Potato Leek recipe?
There is actually a Potato Leek soup in my current book The New Fast Food.
Do you have a recipe for Garlic Soup? Looking forward to trying the Potato Leek! Your mashed potatoes are wonderful! Thank you for the work you do.
Thank you for asking. I don’t yet have a recipe for Garlic Soup but I have a recipe for Allium Broth in my next book which will give the garlic soup a good base.
My friend from Europe loves garlic soup, especially when he is not feeling well. I read that garlic is a natural antibiotic. I don’t know how to make it, tried one on line didn’t turn out well. If I use your base do I just add roasted garlic?
Eating healthy is ruining my love for salad. I really miss blue cheese & ranch dressing. Don’t like vinegar or tofu. Really miss the creamy dressings.
Looking forward to getting your book in the mail. I am motivated to eat right and improve my health. Learning what to eat has been a little challenging.
