Today's cookbook is perfect for gift giving this season!
Synopsis:
Team up with your Instant Pot (or any other brand of electric pressure cooker) to control or lose weight with the quick, delicious, and waist-conscious recipes of Thinner in an Instant.
There are loads of Instant Pot cookbooks. However, almost all are filled with rich recipes that taste decent but deliver a nasty caloric punch right to your waistline.
Here's a tasty and good-for-you alternative. In Thinner in an Instant, Nancy S. Hughes, one of the most-respected and best-selling cookbook authors in the US on health-related topics, offers up the first and only book that will help you watch or lose weight by cooking with an electric pressure cooker.
Each recipe maxes out at 350 calories per serving and comes with a complete nutritional analysis, including calories, fats, cholesterol, salt, and other information that is important to you if you are a health-savvy or weight-conscious cook—or if someone you cook for needs help losing a few pounds.
These are soul-satisfying dinners that won’t leave you hungry: Beef Burgundy on Sweet Potato Mash, Seafood Gumbo, and Greek Lemon Chicken with Asparagus, to name just a few. Plus, there are delectable, yet lo-cal, desserts, like Upside Down Chocolate Crusted Cheesecake and Lemon-Berry Bread Pudding, to round out the meal.
At last, weight-watching and calorie-conscious cooks and eaters can enjoy the speed, convenience, and ease-of-use of the Instant Pot and its cousins.
Review:
Planning on buying an instant-pot on Black Friday? Giving one as a gift this holiday season? Or just wanting to survive the holiday season with one? Then THIS is the book for you! Even if the book says "thinner", I'd call it holiday survival! Because you KNOW you will overeat at dinners and parties, so why not keep yourself in line during the rest of the week, with delicious yummy, quick to prepare meals? And After the holidays? Well you KNOW what's coming! LOL.
The book starts off with the basic of insta-potting, and some really great tips! The measurement conversions are VERY handy to have for example. There are some great recipes in this book, and they don't scrimp on flavor either! And using the instant pot makes it SO SO SO easy to make them too! That Greek Lemon Chicken is just TOO yummy, and so is the Beef and Mushroom Stroganoff, but a whole lot easier than grandma's recipe! The Cattle Trail Chili is perfect for busy weekends, and you just might find yourself bottling a lot of marinara sauce, as it is SO easy to make it fresh with the instapot! This is a great book and I highly recommend it!
