MY THOUGHTS -
This is a fantastic book! This is just what I needed. I got a Ninja instant cooker for Christmas and have just been experimenting with it. It cooks great! But I haven't tried anything real courageous LOL. Now, with this book I have a plethora of recipes to choose from!

Remember that I am a vegetarian so I always base my cookbook reviews on that. This book, even though it does have a lot of recipes with meat, also have a ton of veggie, fish, and seafood recipes! Honestly I am so overwhelmed with joy I don't even know which one I will try first.

Here are just a few that I like -
