I had a major surgery last spring that has changed the way that I eat and prepare meals. I like to make them easy and prep for the week rather than try to figure out what to do on the same day. This book by Coco Morante, "The Instant Kitchen Meal Prep Cookbook," has been a wonderful one for our meal planning. I have found that using my Instant Pot for meal prep has allowed me to spend less time in the kitchen and more time with the family. The dishes that I've tried in the book are Kalua-Style Pork & Cabbage, BBQ Pulled Pork & Sliders with Sweet Potatoes, and so much more. I'm looking to add this book to our kitchen as soon as it's published later this year.

You need both an air fryer and an instant pot or pressure cooker to take full advantage of this cookbook, but if you have both then this is one of the better meal prep cookbooks out there. It’s full of pictures and very helpful prep instructions for weekly meal plans. Coco Morante is a trusted name in instant meal recipes for a reason.

I haven't put this cookbook into practice, but I do love how it's set up as a full meal plan with both the grocery list and recipes for each day. It seems like it would be easy to follow, and the recipes look really yummy!

I loved reading the recipes featured in The Instant Kitchen Meal Prep Cookbook by Coco Morante. The recipes were super easy to follow and featured a wide variety of dishes. I loved how the author made the recipes simple to follow while also featuring very flavorful dishes. Sometimes it is difficult to find the time in your every day schedule to make a complex recipe that requires a ton of ingredients, so the recipes featured in this book make it easy to create a delicious meal for you and/or your family members. I would have liked to see more of the recipes have easier ingredients to attain because some of them are pretty unique and would be difficult to purchase.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Interesting idea for a cookbook that uses mostly your instapot and air fry to cook the food. I found his cookbook a little hit and miss for me. On the plus side, I liked how it broke down the ingredients into a weekly shopping list that made it easier to shop for the week. This is really smart and makes life easier. It does seem to have enough variety to make the week not fall into the same meal over and over. The down side was I found the recipes hit and miss for my taste. Some of them sounded good, but a number of them I didn’t think sounded like something I would like to make. Obviously that comes down to personal taste a little bit. Solid, but not spectacular cookbook for my tastes. Thank you to Netgalley, Coco Morante, and WIlliam Howard for a free advanced copy for an honest review.

I really liked the layout of the book where it shows you the prep work and then the simple recipes that sound delicious with mostly having pictures for reference. I’m a trained chef and mom who knows how important it can be to get delicious meals on the table and these are quick and simple enough. Some recipes you can even opt to use your instant pot. My only suggestion would be to show before the plan a full weekly layout of recipes for the week just for the visual. I like to see like Monday-Friday Breakfast/lunch/dinner just as a guide for weekly plan. Overall I like this cookbook and would recommend.

Lovely pictures and easy-to-follow recipes, though not particularly suited to my dietary needs. Still, a solid cookbook!
