Synopsis
Although it got off to a slow start, Miss Vickie’s Big Book of Pressure Cooker Recipes has turned into one of our most reliable backlist sellers, having sold over 62,000 copies to date. The author’s Missvickie.com web site continues to be the top authority on the subject of pressure cooking, logging millions of page views every year. Part of the success of pressure cooker cookbooks is the fact that recipe directions need to be followed precisely to avoid risk of recipe failure or even danger, so pressure cooker owners are virtually required to get recipes from reliable sources such as cookbooks. One of the only complaints we’ve heard from Miss Vickie’s fans about her first book was the lack of photography, which we've addressed by adding a full-color insert section to this new book with 28 gorgeous photos. This book, with 215 recipes in all, is meant to be a companion to the last one, which was something of a Bible on the subject of pressure cooking. The new book will focus more on cheap eats and easy-to-prepare dishes (well, pressure cooking is always fast and easy, but this book will be even more so). But most important, it's a book the legions of fans of MissVickie.com will be eagerly awaiting.
