There was just a big sale on the Kindle version of my cookbook Vegan Under Pressure. It has already come to my attention (again) that the publisher did not update the ingredient list for the Apple Raisin Walnut Cake. Sadly, there is no photograph for it – and I am too busy to make it and take one. So, you will have to believe me
“Perfect” Brown Rice in the Instant Pot
If you eat brown rice one of the biggest, and perhaps, most important Instant Pot questions is “how to get brown rice just like you want it”? After reading hundreds of answers to posts about brown rice, I am convinced that there are multiple issues involved when cooking brown rice so that it’s “perfect”.

When Your Instant Pot Reads ON: What does that mean?
Here is one Instant Pot myth worth exploring. I just read someone exclaiming in a Facebook group that the pot says ON but nothing is happening.

Shepherd’s Pie (aka Cottage Pie) from Vegan Under Pressure
When it’s cold out which it is in most places these days, except for you lucky people down under, this is the kind of recipe that can warm you right up.
