The Best Pressure Cooker Cookbook Ever
By Pat Dailey
Harpercollins - 1994
I did a half recipe with four thighs standing in for half a chicken. Good tastes, easy to assemble. Could easily be done on the stovetop.

Garlic Lemon Chicken : page 34
Very tasty and easy. This book suggests cooking chicken at the lower pressure if you have a choice. This is the first time I've used a pressure cooker that has that option. The chicken was delicious with a perfect texture.

Ravioli with Gorgonzola and Sage Cream : page 104
This was quite good and easy to assemble. (I used bacon, Ricotta, and mozzarella ravioli.) Not sure that the recipe couldn't be done just as well without the pressure cooker in not much more time.

Tuna Steaks with Sweet/Sour Onion Relish : page 64
The relish/sauce for the tuna was really tasty, the sweet of the cooked onions, bell peppers, and balsamic vinegar came together very nicely. But ...
The instructions say to cook the relish topped by tuna steaks at pressure for 2-1/2 minutes for a slight pink center or 3 minutes for full cooked. Our steaks were fully cooked at 2-1/2 minutes, which is a shame, since we both like our tuna, not even pink, but red in the center.
I don't think I'll subject any more tuna steaks to the pressure cooker treatment, but I'll definitely consider making this sauce, maybe just in a skillet, to go with tuna steaks from the grill.

Whitefish in Papillote : page 60
It still surprises me to cook fish in the pressure cooker, but it works. These fillets sat on slices of tomato and chopped artichoke hearts, topped with herbs and a little sauce of white wine and olive oil. Easy and good.
