About this item

Meredith Laurence, the Blue Jean Chef's Fast Favorites Under Pressure cookbook is written with the smaller household in mind. So many pressure cooker recipes are written for 6 to 8 people and work with the bigger pressure cookers, but when you're dealing with pressure-cooking, cutting a large recipe back to feed just 2 to 4 people is not always straight-forward. Fast Favorites Under Pressure does all the work for you, with every recipe guaranteed to work in a 4-quart pressure cooker. However, all of the recipes in Fast Favorites Under Pressure double easily, so if you're cooking in an 8-quart cooker, you'll have no trouble making twice as many "fast favorites." Fast Favorites Under Pressure offers more tips and tricks plus flavorful recipes -- even light versions -- to be even more successful with your pressure cooker.
