As someone who loves to cook and was gifted an instant pot for my birthday this year, I can really appreciate this cookbook. If I am being honest, you would probably say that I am a cookbook snob. However, this cookbook is well laid out. I love how the recipes are not difficult and with easy to find ingredients. This will be going on my to buy list now.

The DASH diet is highly recommended by most healthcare professionals as the diet promotes heart health. I've been interested in the DASH diet, and should probably follow it, but most the recipes I found didn't look all that appealing. Thankfully, I was offered the opportunity to read and review a electronic copy of Dinner In a DASH by Nancy S. Hughes. I found most of her recipes workable with my allergies and I loved how you could use an electric pressure cooker to prepare the recipes.
You will find the following chapters in her book:
Chapter 1: Wraps, Sandwiches, and Tortillas
Chapter 2: Substantial Salads
Chapter 3: Soups, Chilis, Stews, and Bowls
Chapter 4: Pasta and Egg Noodle Dinners
Chapter 5: Grain, Rice, and Bean Dinners
Chapter 6: Protein and Vegetable Combination Dinners
Chapter 7: Fruits and Desserts
Some of the recipes you'll find include:
Shredded Pork Tortillas with Fresh Salsa
Garden Veggie and Two Cheese Soup
Ale'd Chili with Beans
Beef and Burrito Rice
Beer Braised Chicken with Poblano Chiles and Cheese
Smothered Round Steak with Portobello Mushrooms
Apple Cherry Bowls with Ginger Crumb Topping
If you are trying to eat healthier, without spending a lot of time in the kitchen, I recommend buying her cookbook.

There are no photos of the recipes other than the three on the cover, but there's good nutritional info and serving size info with each recipe. I picked this up because the DASH diet fits in well with Mediterranean-style eating, and more recipes for my Instant Pot are always a good thing.
There's a lot of variety here, and a few things that look familiar, but with variations I hadn't thought of. For example, the Marinated Garbanzo Long Lettuce Wraps sounds like a marinated chickpea salad I already make served in lettuce wraps instead of a bowl. Brilliant!
The Substantial Salads section is exactly what it sounds like - not your basic garden salads by any means, and most of them include a protein (seafood, chicken, beans or lentils, cheese, etc.). I can't wait to dig into all of them. Many of these recipes are far more substantial than their names imply (Beef, Red Wine, and Rotini, for example), so I highly recommend you don't judge the recipes without actually reading through the recipes themselves.
The one thing I'm not a fan of is how specific some of the ingredients are. For example, one recipe asks for a pouch of Ready Rice instead of just telling you how much prepared rice you need. That seems like an odd choice to me, particularly when, a few recipes later, it asks for garam masala, store-bought or homemade, and includes a recipe for homemade at the end of the recipe. Another recipe calls for frozen large Fordhook lima beans instead of just lima beans (I'm pretty sure any lima bean will work, although the large Fordhook may be preferred by the author for any number of valid reasons, but I suspect it's mostly due to their convenience). There are other examples, like calling for a package of sliced mushrooms instead of just saying you need 8 oz of sliced mushrooms. Yes, it's not hard to realize I can just buy any mushrooms that suit me or are most cost-effective and slice them as needed, but many people who are less comfortable in the kitchen might spend a lot of time looking for these very specific ingredients because they genuinely don't know.
That said, the variety of recipes is impressive considering there are only 75 (not counting the small extras like the garam masala). My natural affinity for this kind of food makes most of them appealing to me, particularly since I can use my Instant Pot. I recommend checking out the book for the recipes only, because there's very limited information about the DASH diet itself, and there are other books that do a much better job explaining the details. They often have limited recipes to choose from, though, so this book or another like it should be your next purchase.

Dinner in a Dash is a great book for anyone who wants to make more use of their brilliant Pressure cooker - like me. I try to avoid cooking meat at home but do sometimes cook a meaty meal if I really fancy the look of it, and there are a lot of tasty-looking meat-based recipes in here - in fact I'd say most of the recipes are meat-based. However, it would be fairly easy to make simple swaps to ensure that many of these recipes are veggie.
The book is laid out clearly, with different sections for the types of recipes - eg. wraps and sandwiches, pasta and noodle dishes, grain rice and bean dinners etc - so it's easy to find a recipe based on the type of recipes you want to use or are in the mood for. I'm really glad it doesn't have a whole section on breakfasts and desserts - two parts I always end up skipping through in recipe books, so it's a welcome omission here!
I do miss the photos for each recipe, as I find it helps me pick which I fancy, but the lack of photos here means you need to read the recipes a little more closely to work out what you want to cook. However, it saves space and means they can pack in more recipes!
I've tried the White Bean Chili with Poblano Topping, the Spaghetti pot pasta (with veggie mince instead of beef) and the Wild Rice Pilaf, Dried Apricots, and Edamame which was great as it was a dish I'd never have thought to do otherwise. I've got a lot of other recipes I want to try soon too, including the Seafood Biryani and the Sweet Thai salmon. A neat little recipe book that is perfect for anyone looking to create some quick, hearty meals with their pressure cooker.

To begin with this cookery book is only useful if you have a pressure cooker. It contains 7 chapters of recipes from wrap fillings, soups, dinners and desserts, which are written for the DASH diet (dietary approaches to stop hypertension) which as the author states those that have heart disease, those at risk or want to avoid - which is all of us!
The author goes on to explain the three main nutrients required and which are the best foods to provide them and reducing sodium intake.
The steps and ingredients listed are well written with both metric and imperial measurements, but there is no colour photography to show you what anything looks like. Each recipe also contains all the nutritional facts just like you see on the side of a jar or tin - super helpful.

Considering how much salt is put into the foods we eat from restaurants, cans, or other meals, most of us could probably benefit from cutting back on its use in our own cooking. Besides being a diet recommended by cardiologists, the DASH diet has been rated very highly for weight loss as well as heart health.
In Dinner in a DASH, Nancy S. Hughes has developed DASH recipes that can be cooked in the Instant Pot or other pressure cooker. After looking over these recipes, a lot of them can also be cooked without an Instant Pot if you have the time, and actually there are some I couldn’t imagine using an Instant Pot for, but maybe that’s because I don’t have one…yet.

I liked some of the recipes, but I really did not like the format of this book. No pictures. None. Every recipe is sprawled across 2 pages, even if there's only 4 ingredients and 3 steps. It's nice that nutritional info is provided for every recipe, and how many each recipe serves, but it's very odd that none of the recipes list cook time or total time spent. After all, this is a cookbook for pressure cookers, which is all about speed. So why not tell me how long it takes? Bizarre. The recipes that stood out to me are Provencal Chicken and New Potatoes, Bayou Chicken Thighs on Crookneck Squash, Chicken and Okra Creole Style, Down-Home Turkey Meatloaf and Acorn Squash, and Fresh Collards with Sausage.

I have been looking for some good DASH diet recipes and was happy to have the opportunity to review this new cookbook through NetGalley.
This book gives a good background on the DASH diet and its nutritional parameters. There are lists of food to aid the the control of high blood pressure and to maintain proper nutrition while decreasing sodium intake, as well as a short section on using an electric pressure cooker.
I have tried a few of the recipes and found them to be easy to cook and pretty tasty.

DASH or Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension is a healthy diet designed to help people with hypertension and cardiac issues. In this cookbook, you will find 75 easy-to-cook recipes that will surely delight your palate and heart. What I love about this cookbook is that it is well-written. The ingredients are easy to find, and the cooking directions are easy to understand. One thing lacking is images since I am used to reading cookbooks with lots of beautiful food photos.
Thank you to NetGalley for letting me read a copy in exchange for an honest review.

As a massive cooking fan, I was very excited to receive this arc from Quarto Publishing. I have a pressure King Pro aka the ‘magic cooker’ and these recipes would be fabulous in it. In fact the beef po’boys will be one I definitely make soon.
The recipes are healthy and a clear description of the nutrition and ingredients. This will appeal to a lot of people I’m sure. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

This is a very interesting book. I had never heard of the dash diet and so was very interested in finding out about it in this book.
The recipes are all simple and actually quite delicious looking and I think that's why I like this book so much. I don't think there is any recipe here that I feel I couldn't attempt.

This is a marvelous book to help make your meals healthier...low salt, low fat, low sugar...you would think there would be no tastes left, but Nancy Hughes manages to create tasting means using either an instant pot or electric pressure cooker. Imaginative and convenient.

A good book full of healthy recipes for the Instant Pot. It has full nutritional info for each recipes, and has a wide range of great-looking ideas for everyday meals. It doesn't have photos, which I know is a negative for some, but I don't think that detracts at all. Just awaiting my Instant Pot, as I have been inspired to buy one now!

Thank you to Netgallery and the publisher for providing me for a digital arc for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
"Dinner in a Dash" is full of 75 easy to follow recipes. I liked that most of the recipes included easy to find, common pantry ingredients. This cookbook made me want to go out and finally buy a pressure cooker.

This is a great cookbook with heart healthy recipes. I like how the author breaks down foods that are high in potassium, magnesium and calcium. How to add flavor without using the salt shaker. Easy to follow recipes for your instant pot. ARC provided by Netgalley and publisher for a honest review.

Wow! I’m so impressed with the recipes. Easy to follow directions & simple ingredients. I will be purchasing a Kindle copy once this is released.

It was an interesting book full of easy recipes, but my problem with new "cuisine stuff" is that I prefer pictures to go along with the ingredients and the preparations.
È un libro pieno di ricette interessanti e abbastanza facili, inoltre permette un maggior uso della pentola a pressione, che io ignoro quasi completamente, soltanto che come sempre mi accade con le ricette, preferirei anche le foto, quanto meno del piatto finito, se non posso averle di tutta la preparazione.
THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

I'm diabetic and I have to take care of what I eat and calculate the fat and sugar for each dish I eat.
This book is great because for each recipe you can read the sugar, the fat and everything I need to know.
The recipes are well explained and I think I'll surely try some of them.
A very good cooking book.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC

Starting off, the title is a play on words for a specific diet type called DASH! It stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. I had not idea this was even a thing until I got a hold of this book. But the introduction does an amazing job at explaining what you'll be getting out of this book in reference to this diet, in easy to understand words. We are taught some of the basics (low salt, high nutrients!) of the Dash diet and how we can use our handy-dandy pressure cookers (or Instant pots) to get healthy, easy, dinners that are not time consuming ('cause you and I both know that once we read that a recipe takes 3 hours of labor we usually decide on something else. XD)
After the Intro, the book has 7 chapters:
Chapter 1: Wraps, Sandwiches, and Tortillas
Chapter 2: Substantial Salads
Chapter 3: Soups, Chilis, Stews and Bowls
Chapter 4: Pasta and Egg Noodle Dinners
Chapter 5: Grain, Rice and Bean Dinners
Chapter 6: Protein and Vegetable Combos
Chapter 7: Fruits and Desserts
The one thing I noticed, which made me enjoy it even more, was that it didn't have a thousand crazy,hard-to-find, never-gonna-use-again herbs, spices, or ingredients. I personally have a decent sized her and spice cabinet, that covers a little more than basic. For someone whos' spice cabinet only contains salt, pepper and paprika, you MAY need to go shopping a bit, but really you should do that whether you buy this book or not. There was almost no fresh ingredients that I couldn't get at my local Walmart,
Another cool thing about this book is that at the end of each recipe it lists the nutritional facts. Including calories. Which is helpful to anyone on any kind of diet.
So basically if you are someone who needs to be on the Dash diet, or even if you just realllly love your pressure cooker, this book is an awesome addition to your cookbook collection!

This book was amazing! The recipes are easy to follow, doesn't break your bank, yet provides utterly delicious meal that can feed the whole family. I love the fact that after each meal Nancy gives us the nutritional values and statistics of EACH meal. This is great in helping me know just what nutrition my kids are receiving. I absolutely love this book!
March 2, 2019
This cookbook is nice for beginner pressure cooker people like me. I recently got an instant pot and it was quite intimidating! I liked the full directions in this book! Some of the recipes I do think would end up being easier on the stove, BUT this book uses a multitude of modes for your instant pot so if you want a good feel for what your instant pot can do this is a good option! The recipes I tried so far were quite yummy and healthy which is a extra plus in my book. I did find that I wanted more options for things kids would enjoy though! So not as kid friendly as i would like personally, over all nice cookbook though!

Some great recipes, with lots of nutrition information. Unfortunately I don’t have a pressure cooker, but if you’ve got one this is a great book. I must admit, though, I would have liked to have seen some photographs in there.

Made for health, focused on taste! This is one of those cookbooks you keep in the family for generations, sharing it from one household to the next. Not only do you get quick meals, but you get the best benefits, health-wise from the food you’re preparing!

Blending several of today's hottest cooking techniques and recipes designed to keep you healthy by limiting the ingredients every doctor says are not exactly good for you, Dinner in a DASH is an excellent reference and guide book. DASH diets were first recommended to me for my husband's high blood pressure and have helped manage his condition while still providing healthy, tasty food. The Instant Pot is the hottest cooking tool right now and I have to admit, I'm hooked too. How to bring the IP into the DASH regime has many wonderful consequences. I have many, many, many cookbooks but I'm glad I decided to add this one to me collection. It has earned it's stars and it's place on my book shelves.

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.
March 21, 2019
So much here to get excited about! While other books present the DASH DIET as a job, a chore, something else to feel stressed about, this book brightens up the topic of healthy nutrition in a way that fosters an evolution of eating habits without any shame or fear. We've enjoyed each of the recipes we tried out, and include this in our arsenal against heart disease and other illnesses. Very well done. Lovely presentation, and nice mix and organization of the material.
March 21, 2019
Well, I went into this one blind. I had no idea there was a DASH Diet. I thought the title just meant simple, healthy recipes. Well, it actually is, whether you follow the diet or not. I like this book and will continue to use it. I would have liked more pictures, though. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!
March 22, 2019
Why is it that no cookbook seems to have both pictures and nutritional facts these days? Sorry, but it's definitely becoming a personal pet peeve. This cookbook had the nutritional breakdown of each meal, which is good given that it's a book of heart healthy meals that fit into the DASH diet plan. They are all pressure cooker recipes, which is awesome in the current age in Instant Pot.
