When you buy a pressure cooker you see that most of them come with a very limited cook book that contains basic pressure cooker recipes.
Even the ones that we recommend in our electric pressure cooker reviews come with many limitations.
That is why we did the Pressure cooker cookbook reviews and look at cookbooks that contains a lot of recipes.
We did research like we always do to find the best electric pressure cooker recipe book but these can also be used for stove top pressure cookers.
You might just have to adjust the times a little here and there to get the best result.
We don’t like to waist your and our time on low quality books so here are the top 5 pressure cooker recipe books.

It contains all steps to use a pressure cooker safe and reviewed and tested 12 models. There are 61 recipes in this book that covers anything from stews and chili’s to roasts and fancy dinner ideas.
Available in paperback and Kindle version.
Great book to start with when you are not sure on how to use a pressure cooker and filled with recipes to help you out.
“Not bad. There wasn’t as many recipes as I would have liked. There are two recipes for the same stew and two for the same pot roast which further cuts down on the recipes. Most of the meals are things I would cook though and the ingredient list is mostly common pantry things. They are not the kind that require quail eggs, caviar and the bark of an exotic tree from a lone mountain top in Nova Scotia. This should make a great beginners book…(read more here: pressure cooker perfection reviews)”

“Lorna Sass’ passion for cooking is in every recipe description and comes through in the resulting food. I was blown away by the Curry in a Hurry and her method of cooking rice in a serving casserole on top of the curry (or other recipe). What a time saver and its much easier on the clean up too. I took this combo to a pot luck and just had to tell everyone how to do it. Also delicious and quick was the Beef Stew to which I added a bottle of Guinness!…(read more here: pressure perfect review)”

The Easy Pressure Cooker Cookbook
(Back to Top)
The Easy Pressure Cooker Cookbook written by the well known Diane Phillips is available in 2 formats to cater everyone who would like to buy this great pressure cooker recipe book. With her writing over 14 cookbooks I think we can call her an expert.
This book is no exception and got some real good customer reviews.
If you look for a book with a lot of recipes you can not go wrong here. Over 400 recipes you will find here and although I read that this book is more targeted to stove top pressure cookers an other comment was that is easy to follow for electric and digital pressure cookers.
Going through the reviews I think they are right and it is also easy to use for electric cookers.
“I had the privilege of taking a class from Chef Phillips recently. She made recipes from this book and they were so great that I had to buy her cookbook.
I have found the recipes to be delicious and thoroughly tested. They come out tasty every time and I haven’t had to make timing adjustments for my pressure cooker. The biggest plus is being able to make risotto in easily 1/3 of the time that a traditional preparation would require (and no stirring). This is a real plus on those busy nights where you want to prepare a nice dinner, but are short on time.
The recipes are easy to follow and the writing is engaging and informative. This book is quickly becoming my “go to” cookbook….(read more here: Easy Pressure cooker review)”
