Melissa Clark has always been one of my favorite contributors to the Food Section of The New York Times (much of which, sadly, is now behind a paywall). Her recipe for Italian Porchetta Pork Roast is one of my favorites ever! And she does not disappoint in her cookbook devoted to her new love, the electric pressure cooker/multicooker.

Sophisticates will get the most out of a cookbook that tells you how to effortlessly create Spanish Garlicky Squid and Chorizo, Duck Confit, Braised Roman-Style Lamb with Herbs and Peas, Thai Coconut Clams, Lamb Tangine with Apricots and Olives, and Wild Mushroom, Pancetta and Pea Risotto. But Clark includes easy substitutions for cooks in places where getting broccoli rabe, saffron, squid, duck legs, show more garam masala, fresh tuna, pancetta, Asian fish sauce, pine nuts or fresh mozzarella is nothing but a dream. While this is not a book for beginning cooks, anyone who has been cooking for at least a few months will find lots to love in Dinner in an Instant: 75 Modern Recipes for Your Pressure Cooker, Multicooker, and Instant Pot®. show less
nonfiction/cookbook (instant pot / pressure cooker)
nice collection of recipes that you can make in about an hour (counting pressure-building time and pressure-releasing time), many of these recipes are on the fancy side for me, and would definitely require a special trip to the grocer (possibly even a trip to a special grocer), but they would be great for hosting an easy dinner party or lunch/brunch.
There was another person waiting for this book so I had to return it to the library before I was quite done drooling over the pictures, but I think this is one I might want to pick up again. It's also included in Amy Jacky's (of pressurecookrecipes.com) favorite pressure cooker cookbooks, so you don't have to take my word for it ;)
