Rating: - Great book!
I just purchased a Fagor pressure cooker and wasn't too impressed with the recipe book that came with it.

Rating: - Fair, Just Fair
I was expecting more from this cookbook.The positives are that it gives a lot of good information regarding the care and usage of your pressure cooker.The charts for various foods are clear.However, I'm not thrilled with the recipes and there are no pictures to show how the finished product looks.I didn't return it because it did contain some helpful information, but the quality of the recipes could be better.
