Overview
This two-book hardback set brings together Catherine Phipps' most trusted pressure-cooking guides in one collection. The Pressure Cooker Cookbook introduces over 150 essential, time-saving recipes for stovetop and electric machines, while Modern Pressure Cooking expands the repertoire with 200 further dishes and updated techniques. Together they form a comprehensive kitchen reference for anyone wanting faster, healthier, flavour-packed meals without sacrificing quality or convenience, from quick weeknight suppers to impressive dishes for guests.
About the Books
The Pressure Cooker Cookbook was Catherine Phipps' debut pressure-cooking guide, written as a busy working mother and Guardian columnist relying on her pressure cooker for quick, reliable one-pot meals. It offers an authoritative introduction for beginners and established fans, with recipes spanning pot-roast chicken, seafood risotto, Boston baked beans, pulled pork sandwiches and Scotch eggs, through to desserts such as cheesecake and chocolate pots. Practical safety guidance and ingredient tips help readers adapt conventional recipes for pressure-cooker success.
Modern Pressure Cooking is the expanded companion volume, offering over 200 recipes and guiding readers through everything needed to cook confidently on stovetop or electric pressure cookers. Foolproof, step-by-step instructions accompany dishes such as Shakshouka with Feta, All-in-One Macaroni Cheese, Crispy Aromatic Duck, and Squid and Chorizo with Black Rice. The book explains the wider benefits of pressure cooking: meals in a fraction of the usual time (risotto in around seven minutes), lower energy use, and better retention of nutrients and flavour. Together, both titles showcase Phipps' warmth and hands-on approach to modern cooking.
