I've made a few of these recipes so far, and all of them have been a win. I'm using my Instant Pot more now because of this book. Try the beef barbacoa tacos. You're welcome.

I read through this cookbook cover to cover and got some good tips on how the Instant Pot works, suggestions to adjust recipes and advice on some good accessories to buy. My Sunday routine is to research some recipes and sit and make my shopping list so I can prep for the busy workweek.
Here’s what I didn’t like... you take the time to write a cookbook - there was zero nutritional info for each recipe and zero time to prepare. I always forget how much it takes for the IP to get “ up to pressure” - so 4 minutes cooking time is not that at all - plus cut and prep time. This should be standard for a cookbook - and lazy to skip this.

This book came highly recommended from another new Instant Pot owner. I tried a couple recipes and was impressed! I still haven’t caught the craze yet...

Recipes I will actually use

I haven't yet found an IP cookbook that merits a 4 star review. But, this is the best one yet.
The best recipe in the book is Barbacoa Tacos (55). Other worthy recipes are the Coconut Curry Noodles and the Chicken Tikka Masala.
Don't try the Beer-Braised Sausage and Pepper Sandwiches (74).

There's a decent variety of recipes in this collection, but the overall collection is light on fruits and vegetables. Several of the recipes could be easily modified to include additional vegetables. The majority of these recipes are readily available in some variation from multiple other Instant Pot recipe sources. However, they are diverse, cover a wide variety of dishes, and are easy to follow. They don't happen to appeal to me personally, at least partly due to the fact that I have multiple other cookbooks already available.
The first 20 pages are a brief overview of cooking with an Instant Pot, including a rundown of typical features (there are multiple models and not all are present on every model) and the basic things you need to know. There are also a few pages at the front of the Mains chapter with useful information about cooking, seasoning, and serving meats. I like that it attempts to help you avoid some of the confusion and pitfalls of new Instant Pot users with comments about things like a little steam coming out while the pot comes up to pressure being normal. There's also a short list of handy tools you might want, including both necessities and things that are really nice to have if you want to cook certain things (cheesecake, anyone?).
Many of the recipes have useful tips and/or variations that add variety. No nutrition information is provided, just how many the recipe is expected to serve. This doesn't surprise me as so few cookbooks provide that information these days, but it does make it difficult to determine if a dish works with your calorie needs without some research. It also doesn't include approximate prep and cooking times, which most Instant Pot cookbooks do provide. It really isn't a simple matter of looking at the recipe because cooking time and the time under pressure (set on the appliance) aren't the same.
The section on Breakfast & Basics includes most of the useful basics like eggs, rice, beans, and homemade yogurt but there isn't anything exciting. The Soups & Stews section includes both exotic and comfort-food staples. The Desserts section makes minimal use of fresh fruit, but looks mouthwatering otherwise.
The Mains section is the largest, with 29 distinct recipes covering most of the main protein sources and six meatless dishes. The Zesty Wild Rice Salad, which sounds like a lovely light lunch to me, is going on my to-try list.
The directions themselves seem well-written and easy enough to follow, although I highly recommend reading through the entire recipe to see what you can prep ahead to save time.
