This recipe book not only provides easy to use instructions for turning out fantastically delicious meals. It also provides some background to each recipe which makes the preparion and consumption of the food more pleasurable through connection. To top it off, the recipe book is written with encouragement and information about why the food is healthy, which made me feel good about eating each dish I tried. I received this as a LibraryThing Member GiveAway. Thank you.

Julia Garcia has come up with another quality cookbook that is easy to read and easy to follow. Prior to this book, I had little to no experience with a pressure cooker. I have been interested in purchasing one, and this book came at the right time. In addition, Garcia’s focus on Mediterranean recipes reinforces the notion that a pressure cooker is a fantastic choice for healthy eating.

The variety of recipes is the first thing that caught my attention. As expected, the cookbook recipes are veggie- and meat-centric. The Did You Know? Section of recipes is a welcome addition that helps to bring each recipe to life.

While the recipes are relatively easy to prepare, the food combinations are what impressed me most: collard greens and shrimp, shrimp stew with Brussels sprouts, squid ink pasta with trout fillets, chickpea stew with onions, chicken pudding with artichoke, chicken with Swiss chard, and a ground beef omelet.

Garcia ends the book with a meal plan, shopping list, and conversion tables. Overall, this cookbook is an excellent resource for healthy Mediterranean-themed recipes with short cooking times.

The Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook: Easy & Healthy Mediterranean Pressure Cooker Recipes - Quick, Delicious, and Time-Saving Recipes for Electric Pressure Cookers (incl. Detox Smoothies) by Julia Garcia
Always fun to find new things to put into our pressure cooker that are healthy.
Book starts in with the advantages of electric pressure cooking and how to clean it naturally.
Recipe chapters include: soups, vegetarian, fish and seafood, poultry, meat, desserts, detox smoothies and meal plan with shopping list.
Also conversion tables and abbreviations explained. We are eating more healthier these days since my husband's heart attack and find the pressure cooker is so much easier and faster to use for a most healthy option of eating.
What we look for in recipes is fat content-have to know the good and bad parts, sodium and sometimes sugar. We also like to see the picture and to find the ingredients are fresh and healthy ones-not pre packaged salty items.
Very useful information in the first chapters of the book about nutrition and don't give up on recipes are crucial. Love very high quality color photos throughout the book, not just for the recipes. Love the ideas of cleaning the inner pot-will give them a try!
Each recipe comes with a color photo and a bit about the dish and what allergies the dish is made for: gluten free, soy free, nut free, etc.
Tells you how long to prepare the dish and cooking time, servings also.
Useful tips along the way.
List of ingredients but feel free to substitute for your dietary needs, especially using low sodium varieties.
Directions are given along with nutritional information that includes calories, proteins, carbs, dietary fibers, sugars, fat and sat. fats, no sodium levels are noted.
Like the suggestions on how to make the dish a bit different.
Chocolate cake will be one to try when we have company as fat content is a bit high for us to eat the cake on our own-we could have a sliver. Ground beef omelet sounds really good and quick to make.
Smoothie recipes do not use the pressure cooker but go along with a high nutrient based cookbook in a liquid form.
Found quite a few recipes I will try in the next few weeks. Other works by the author are highlighted at the end.
I received this book from the author and this is my honest review
A KEEPER!

I am grateful for having the chance to read this Mediterranean Diet cookbook with details about the actual diet. It provides useful information and delicious recipes. I recommend this to anyone looking for new recipes or perhaps starting such a Mediterranean Diet. A bonus is how well it is written. The recipe instructions are easy to understand and the reader/cook knows exactly what they need for the recipes. Try it -- you are going to like it.
