marjories's review against another edition
4.0
This book is exactly what it claims to be, all but one of the recipes can be prepared in under an hour, most in 20-40 min. The vast majority of the ingredients are common pantry items which makes it easy for me to come home from work and pull something out to throw together a hot dinner with ingredients I have on hand. There are no pictures, so budget friendly, but better for people who can envision a recipe off the ingredients.
For the most part they are basic recipes you will be familiar with, but made in the Instant Pot. There is a good variety of flavor profiles. Most of the recipes are simple and do not have overly many ingredients either. The ebook is nicely laid out with one recipe per page and all but one recipe fitting on one page. The one recipe that spills over to two pages also happens to be the one recipe that takes more than one hour to prepare. The conciseness of the recipes can be a drawback as well though if you are not familiar with some of the dishes. It seems to assume that the person making the recipes knows how to cook, just hasn't made these recipes in an instant pot before. The measurements on a couple seemed wonky, use your judgement. Maybe that is why it says it is for *smart* people.
All recipes are listed in the table of contents at the beginning of the book but there is no index. The "Morning Recipes" category was kind of odd, but after that recipes were sorted by more familiar recipe book categories such as protein type. I used the search function on my kindle to pull up ingredients etc that I was looking for. An index by category would be nice as that is a feature I use often in other books.
