When under pressure to eat right, you can't cook healthier, tastier or faster than in the pressure cooker! Pressure cooking makes it easy for even the busiest cooks to prepare fresh and healthy meals in a jiffy. So, no matter what time of the year, when you are hungry, go for the 'new fast foods' such as soups, stews and easy-to-cook vegetable dishes, which can be whipped up promptly using a pressure cooker.

A good quality pressure cooker is a long-term investment that will last for 25-30 years, or longer. It cuts cooking time by about half, requires little, if any, fat, boosts flavour, retains more nutrients and relieves you from the daily pressure of getting dinner on the table, giving you more time to enjoy the other aspects of your life. I use my cooker almost every day, and I hope that you will find as many reasons to use your pressure cooker as I have.

In this book, I have tried to show how innovatively the cooker can be used to prepare delicacies of myriad kinds. The recipes are divided into five sections -- My Favourites, Soups and Snacks, Subzis, Rice and Dals and lastly Sweets and Desserts.

Surprise your family by laying out a scrumptious and varied meal on the table, and all within a matter of minutes!
