This cookbook was easy to follow, but you have to know exactly which Instant Pot that you have in order to adjust the recipes so they'll work. I'll use some of these recipes with my family so adapt them for more than one person.

If you love your instapot then you will love this recipe book. It has tons of variety. I found at least 6 recipes I want to make asap. All kinds of tasty ideas that a super easy and extremely speedy.

Terrific collection of Instant Pot recipes that serve one. I find the recipes for seafood especially useful. These are great recipes for when you are dining alone and don’t want leftovers.

I honestly didn't think cooking for one was possible in an instant pot unless you were bulk/batch cooking. Totally wrong, and gladly so. These recipes are nice takes on classics, with a few interesting surprises thrown in. Highly recommended!

I really appreciate it when I find a cookbook geared for one or two people, as opposed to catering for an aircraft carrier. The recipes are well put together and sound tasty, though mostly not very healthy. I wish there had been more photos.

Yum yum. I feel like that's how every cook book review starts for me. I have now made most of the recipe's in this book and really enjoyed Lisa Childs adaptions to make the recipe's for one vs a ton :)

They were easy to follow and the directions/ingredient's list were well laid out.

Definitely good for people who don't often cook.

This is a fantastic cookbook, especially when only cooking for one person. Even though it is written for the Instant Pot brand, these recipes are able to be made in any brand of all in one cooker.

This was such a useful cookbook! It is so hard to cook for myself and not over cook so this was incredibly helpful.

I am single and a big fan of the instant pot, so on the surface, this seemed like a great cookbook for me. But thumbing through it, I kept thinking of doubling and tripling the recipe. Who makes one serving of soup? It takes some time for my Instant Pot to reach pressure, so I can't imagine that being a great way to cook oatmeal. But this cookbook did give me some great ideas. I would have liked more pictures. I think pictures of the finished product, in a cookbook are very important. Thank you to #Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to preview and review this cookbook.

I’ve recently purchased an Instant Pot and enjoyed reading and trying out several recipes. There is a wide array of approachable meals that I found easy to include in my weekly lineup. I especially appreciated the calorie counts and dietary information, for those trying to restrict their caloric intake. I found that quite helpful!

This is a great book because it's always hard to cook for one (and even just two) without having more leftovers than I can actually eat. These recipes really helped out a lot.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

The "I love my instant pop cooking for one recipe book is a fantastic book for cooking for a single person.
Although I live with my child, she often doesn't like what I make and I often cook two different meals for us both so this book appealed to me to offer a variety of meals for myself and her which wouldn't produce too much food that would end up going to waste.
The recipes are easy to follow and understand and they look to be great portion sizes for single meals. I think you could easily double up some of the ingredients to make these dishes for 2 as well.
The photos look delicious throughout the book and the quantity and choices of recipes is fantastic.

As we have become a family of "empty nesters" I was truly looking forward to more easy ideas for supper. Many of our patrons at our library are also widows or otherwise cooking for one.
This is a nice cookbook with a variety of recipes that generally sound very tasty. They tend towards very high in calories and carb-heavy. There are very few photos. I appreciate the inclusion of nutritional information for each recipe, which means I could easily tell which recipes would be best for our family's needs.
This cookbook does not meet our needs. My husband is gluten-free and I am searching for lower carb recipes.
I hope it will meet the needs of other readers. Thanks to Adams Media and NetGalley for providing me an ARC.

I really like the idea of an instant pot cookbook with smaller size recipes. All the other books seem to be for a large family and geared to have leftovers. I thought there was a great variety in the types of recipes, focusing on different meats, vegetarian, side dishes, soups, breakfast and dessert. It's so hard to adapt recipes in the instant pot since it is sealed and you can't monitor the progress, but every recipe i tried worked and came out tasting well. I recommend this for anyone looking for smaller size, tasty instant pot recipes.

I have had my Instant pot for a while but haven't had a good cookbook to use with it. So I am very please to say this one a really good one that I have enjoyed.

I am a long-time user of the Instant Pot, but have only cooked for family. The concept of using it to cook for one person was intriguing. The recipes were interesting and the instructions and photos were straight forward. The only issue was how calorie dense some of the dishes were. I am always watching my weight (unfortunately), and need recipes which are calorie conscious.

This cookbook caught my eye because the one thing I thought you couldn't really do with a multicooker, is to cook for one person, i.e. single serves. Reading through the book, I selected some recipes to try, and after making 7 of them, I have to say it is possible! All 7 of those recipes worked. I wouldn't say I liked them all, but the recipes are accurate. Instructions are clear, and although there aren't many photographs, what you do get for each recipe is a simple nutritional breakdown. This is really important because most of the recipes are calorie-dense and carb-heavy. An astonishingly high proportion include cream as an ingredient. So although it's not a cookbook I would buy for myself, I'm giving it 3 stars for the accuracy of the recipes and the information provided.

What I learned is that you can use a multicooker to cook for one, but where I think this type of book might have even more value is in the fight against food waste. The single serves are great way of using up the last little bit of something, rather than throwing it out.

So happy to find new uses for my Instant Pot other than cooking mass quantities of meat for my dogs. Seriously, this cookbook is a godsend since my husband is out of town a lot that cooking my favorite recipes is doable now. I love grits but hate cooking them on the stove top except I'll by making mine with butter. Sweet grits are not my thing. It would be nice to see those type of substitutions mentioned in the recipe. Like for the Blueberry Cream Cheese French Toast Bake it should be more versatile to use any bread of your liking. Not everyone keeps Texas Toast on hand. I love soup and can't wait to try some of the soup recipes like: Loaded Baked Potato, Spicy Vegetable, Corn and Chicken Egg Drop and Tomato. I have to go now because I made myself so hungry by talking about all of these great recipes that I have to go make something!

Love this book! I'm home by myself for breakfast and lunch most days, so this cookbook has been a godsend. It has made cooking for myself so much easier. I use it at least 3x per week. The recipes work out really well. The instructions are clear, the ingredient amounts are correct, it's just really great.

There are a couple of kitchen implements that one will have to buy in order to make many of these recipes: mainly a 1/8 and 1/16 measuring spoon, a 6” cake pan, and a trivet. But several of the main course recipes sound like they’re worth dragging out my rarely used Instant Pot for. Not so much most of the appetizers and breakfast recipes.

**3.5 stars**

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the e-arc I received.
