Nice cookbook especially if you're looking for recipes for Paleo or pressure cooking. Definitely worth a read

The pictures are beautiful but the recipes lack complexity--would have liked to see more layering of flavors rather than just one or two major flavors.

I got a pressure cooker from my husband for Christmas a while back and I absolutely LOVE this book. We are now Keto/Paleo and I use this book to find inspiration from time to time. We also found a lot of new recipes that we may never have tried before thanks to Natalie's book.

I was so happy to find this book, my wife has been on the Paleo bandwagon for some time now and sometimes I struggle with how to jazz things up in the kitchen. Low and behold, new recipes and even bette ones that can be accomplished with the insta0pot!
If you’re new and I paleo/keto/low-carb meal prep or just looking for something new to you, this is the book.

Absolutely loved it! My Instant Pot is not getting any rest right now! Easy to read and even easier to use. Great recipes!

This cookbook helps you create tasty and healthy meals without spending tons of time doing so. Yet, one element you might want to consider is several recipes do take a bit of prep work so in other words you don't get to just throw those things in a pressure cooker. Therefore, you might not save as much time as you think or want. Still it might be worth it for you.

The writer has done her work to provide 150 wonderful recipes.. You'll also find stews, beverages, desserts, soups, sauces and appetizers as well as side dishes. The cookbook is very well written with great steps on what you need to do for each recipe. Also, even if you don't have an electric pressure cooker, which I don't it I'm sure it will work fine with a stovetop pressure cooker, which I do have and LOVE!!

The photos are beautiful and the recipes are well organized as is the book in general with helpful details including about using the electric pressure cooker. Keep in mind if you aren't sure about the world of Paleo it is a diet that doesn't use grains, legumes or dairy. It is also free of refined sugar. Therefore, recipes will substitute items for these ingredients or perhaps not include what a recipes would usually. But, chances are you won't miss it. But, you don't need to practice these diet to enjoy these wonderful recipes and cookbook.

This is a great book for anyone who is a huge fan of their pressure cooker and living a Paleo lifestyle. The recipes are easy to follow, and even easier to prepare, just add to the pressure cooker and wait on the yummy goodness. I tried several of the recipes and I can speak from experience how delicious they are. With this book you will not have to spend all day cooking, and feel like you are eating the same old boring food. Highly recommend.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for allowing me to preview this book.

Instant Pots are all the rave currently. I am a new owner and tried a couple of the recipes from this book. I loved them. They were easy (especially for a beginner in Instant pot) and delicious. The Illustrations are beautiful, the directions in the recipes are easy to follow and the food comes out great. This will be a book I will be using frequently in my kitchen.

Delicious, easy, and fresh recipes that my entire family enjoyed. It's not "diet" food, it's whole, delicious food that fits a lifestyle I strive to meet. The butter chicken is DELICOUS! Thanks to Net Galley for providing me with a copy of this book, it's one we are sure to cherish and use often.

Lovely cookbook for those following a paleo diet interested in pressure cooking recipes. The recipes are all relatively quick and easy and this book includes a variety of dishes and cuisines. Those of us who love to use our pressure cooker will want to grab a copy!

Thank you, Harvard Common Press and NetGalley!

The Big Book of Paleo Pressure Cooking is the first and only cookbook that I've reviewed so I'm going to do this review just like I do my romance reviews. I'm going to tell you what I liked, the stuff that worked for me.

I've been using my pressure cooker (I don't have an Insta-Pot) regularly for a little over a year now. I initially purchased it for cooking whole chickens for a sick furbabe. I always saved the stock that was made but the furry got the meat. The popularity of the Insta-Pot got me using the cooker for me. I enjoy the one pot dump meals. They're quick and easy.

Perry describes the pressure cooker as the child that came from the romantic hook up between the microwave and the slow cooker. The pressure cooker gives you the quick meals of the microwave with the tender juiciness of the slow cooker. I seriously love my pressure cooker. The first chapter of this book explains the various functionalities that many of the different cookers can offer. That makes this specific book great for the novice pressure cooker user. I even learned a few new things that makes me want a fancier model.

I did make one of the recipes from the book before I put this review together. I have intentions of preparing others. The Buffalo Ranch Chicken Chowder is on next weeks menu. I'm in Tennesse and it's cold and miserable this time of year. I'm on a soup kick. I made the Creamy Southwest Chicken Soup. I'm also eating a ton of chicken here lately. The instructions were clear and concise. Prep time was quick. The soup was ready to eat in no time. It was delicious! And the author claims that this was somewhat unintentional.

Complete with 150 easy-to-follow recipes, the author brilliantly created this cookbook that took the guesswork out of preparing delicious meals. On a personal note, I'll submit that there have been countless times that I'd either overcooked or undercooked a meal. Who hasn't? For greater success in the kitchen, this type of cooking appears to be the way to go.

The many recipes revolved around the paleo diet which consist mainly of vegetables, fruit and meat. Primarily, food in it's more natural state. There were countless tips and tricks and do's and don'ts that made for an enjoyable cooking experience. The savory pictures put the final lid on this cookbook with everything that anyone could possibly hope for from a pressure cooker. It certainly has my seal of approval for doling out perfect meals. Look no further; this is it.

I send my gratitude to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Harvard Common Press for this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

this was unique. I am not in any means paleo but this was presented in a different light. It wasn't filled with bizarre ingredients that normal pantries didn't have. It did explain the strange ingredients and what they brought to the palate. The pictures were done very well. I think this is a good starting point if paleo scares you!

Imaginative pressure cooker recipes

"Paleo means free of grains (and gluten), dairy, legumes, and refined sugar".

Pressure cooking drastically reduces the cooking time and allows slow cook meat to be cooked to melting deliciousness quickly.

I'm not following a paleo diet nor do I have the electric pressure cooker* for which this book is geared. I am though an enthusiastic user of a stove top pressure cooker, and lean towards a low carb diet.

I viewed this book from the perspective of someone looking to increase their repertoire of pressure cooker dishes. This book certainly delivers. It also includes an introduction to electric pressure cooking and to the paleo diet and paleo substitute ingredients.

The range of recipes is broad and imaginative. I have earmarked a number to try e.g. French onion beef soup, charred red pepper soup with garlic shrimp, and the Chinese BBQ beef stew.

The book is well organised, and each chapter begins with a list of recipes. There are photographs of most, though not all, finished dishes.

As a US book it requires a little adaptation for UK use in terms of ingredients, though very usefully measures are also given in g and ml.

*My Fissler Vitaquick stove top operates at a higher pressure than an electric pressure cooker such as the InstantPot. I need to reduce recipe timings to roughly 4/5; 24 minutes rather than 30 for example.

I was given a digital review copy by the publisher via NetGalley.

Yet another pressure cooker book, combined with paleo (the current food fad du jour). I was totally drawn in my the utterly gorgeous picture on the front, only to be disappointed that the majority of recipes are no where near as beautiful or inspiring. It's an okay book, but I wouldn't buy it and I wasn't inspired by the recipes.

Great paleo take on a variety of recipes. I love how simple the recipes are; no complicated ingredients or weird extra steps in preparation. The recipes cross all ethnicities from Green Chile Beef to Egg Drop Soup to Marinara and Meatballs. I’m planning to whip up a batch of the Smokey Hot Mixed Nuts to give as Christmas gifts this month. This book is a great way to expand your pressure cooker repertoire while eating delicious food!

I want to love this recipe book but I unfortunately, it just doesn't quite work for me. Things about it that are fantastic - photos with every recipe, well-designed and true to Paleo recipes, and nice variety of cuisines. The problems for me here are two fold - 1) the pressure cooker is meant to make your life easier and 2) the recipes are meant to come out delicious. On point 1, there are just far too many required steps on most of the recipes. Perhaps a little prep-work, a little saute action, but then everything should go into the pressure cooker and the only thing you should have to do to be done with your meal is garnish it and serve. Most of these recipes have way more steps and it makes cooking overwhelming and sometimes it makes the process longer. For example, the shredded chicken recipe is 4 steps when it should only be 2 and it takes 45 minutes plus to cook a few chicken breasts! That's a recipe for super dry chicken. If you're going to pressure cook chicken breasts, 10 minutes in the pressure cooker is all you need but you don't even need a pressure cooker --- it's the same amount of time in a skillet where you had to sear the breasts anyway (just toss them in the oven for 7 minutes, rest and then shred). So therein I've also demonstrated my 2nd issue as well. The book overall is promising but it feels like there's a quantity over quality element to it and I'd much rather have a book with well-tested recipes.

I don't follow a Paleo diet but I do enjoy cooking and eating highly nutritious foods. This book has plenty of choice and great photos to entice you to get stuck in and cook them. My pressure cooker will be in constant use!

Many thanks to Netgalley for a copy of this ARC for which I have given my voluntary and unbiased review.

Typical recipes, nothing really stood out from similar cookbooks in this genre. Needed more pictures of completed recipes.

This book was filled with recipes that seem too good to be part of a Paleo diet! I cannot wait to try them, as I have been looking for healthy recipes to try in my new Instant Pot.
