All the recipes, basic methods, tips, updated weekly.
Hello Everyone!
This has been a long time work in progress and I was prompted about it again the other day, so I’ve been doing an hour here, an hour there, whenever I can fit it in. Quite a lot to get through - 137 posts and lots have multiple recipes/methods, so probably around 300. It’s been interesting to look back at old posts as well as figure out some of the gaps I now realise I need to start filling….
It is not perfect! Far from. For example, I haven’t had the time to give all the vegetables their own separate headings. But there is a lot of cross referencing with many recipes having multiple entries so I hope everything is easier to find. Please feel free to make any suggestions about headings you would have liked to see and if I think it is doable, I will have a go.
I will be pinning this to the top of my Substack and will try to remember to update it every time I post from now on. I hope you all find it useful and that it helps mitigate Substack’s woeful search engine.
PLEASE share with people you think need a nudge in the direction of pressure cooking. It might show them the range of recipes which are helped along by it.
