This cookbook offers easy to follow gluten free recipes that you can make with your instant pot. The only drawback that I could see is that there was not enough pictures. I am a visual creature and need to make sure my meals look close to the recipe.
GF is a hot topic at our library and I was thrilled to see this. The recipes are versatile to suit a variety of taste buds and budgets. The only draw back is there is not photographs of each of the recipes. Our patrons are very visually driven and I can see this being a negative.
Containing a hundred delicious sounding recipes, the Gluten-free Instant Pot Cookbook—Revised is both a flavor booster and time saver for gluten-free cooks.
Beginning with a cheesy poblano frittata breakfast, savory creamy polenta and various soups like spicy butternut squash, this cookbook has a bit of everything. Who knew you could make gluten-free meatloaf in an instant pot? Or saffron risotto( no more endless stirring)? The dessert chapter sounds particularly yummy filled with tasty treats like rice and bread pudding plus a to-die-for double chocolate fudge cheesecake. There are also easy bone broths for the paleo fans.
Recipes are clearly labeled with other common allergens like dairy, egg, soy and nut. There are vegan and vegetarian recipes included too. The only issue I have is the total lack of nutritional information.
The recipes are surprisingly innovative. For example, the Shrimp and Grits uses the Pot’s sauté function to cook the aromatics first. The sauce is then covered with a trivet and bowl to cook the grits. After a short time, the grits are removed and the shrimp is added to the sauce for heating. It is very innovative to cook everything in one instant pot making this a perfect gift for a college student with an instant pot but little else to cook with in a dorm room.
The recipes are worth 5 stars. However, the complete lack of nutritional information brings my rating of Gluten-free Instant Pot Cookbook—Revised down to 4 stars.
Thanks to Fair Winds Press and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

A fun collection of recipes great for anyone who is long term gluten free and new to eating this way.
I voluntarily read an advanced copy.
Easy to follow recipes that actually turn out as good as they look. I found myself utilizing this book more than once when planning menus for the week.
There are some great ideas and tasty recipes in this book. It can be difficult to adapt normal recipes to make them gluten free so having a good quality selection like this is so useful. I just wish there were more pictures. I like to see a picture for every recipe I try, so that is a bit disappointing.. However there are some quick and easy recipes that really take advantage of the pressure cooker. The gluten free information at the beginning is excellent and a brilliant resource to keep referring back to whether you use the recipes or not.
