The Gluten-Free Instant Pot Cookbook Revised and Expanded Edition

Containing a hundred delicious sounding recipes, the Gluten-free Instant Pot Cookbook—Revised is both a flavor booster and time saver for gluten-free cooks.

Beginning with a cheesy poblano frittata breakfast, savory creamy polenta and various soups like spicy butternut squash, this cookbook has a bit of everything. Who knew you could make gluten-free meatloaf in an instant pot? Or saffron risotto( no more endless stirring)? The dessert chapter sounds particularly yummy filled with tasty treats like rice and bread pudding plus a to-die-for double chocolate fudge cheesecake. There are also easy bone broths for the paleo fans.

Recipes are clearly labeled with other common allergens like dairy, egg, soy and nut. There are vegan and vegetarian recipes included too. The only issue I have is the total lack of nutritional information.

The recipes are surprisingly innovative. For example, the Shrimp and Grits uses the Pot’s sauté function to cook the aromatics first. The sauce is then covered with a trivet and bowl to cook the grits. After a short time, the grits are removed and the shrimp is added to the sauce for heating. It is very innovative to cook everything in one instant pot making this a perfect gift for a college student with an instant pot but little else to cook with in a dorm room.

The recipes are worth 5 stars. However, the complete lack of nutritional information brings my rating of Gluten-free Instant Pot Cookbook—Revised down to 4 stars.

Thanks to Fair Winds Press and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

4 stars

A fun collection of recipes great for anyone who is long term gluten free and new to eating this way.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

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.

There are some great ideas and tasty recipes in this book. It can be difficult to adapt normal recipes to make them gluten free so having a good quality selection like this is so useful. I just wish there were more pictures. I like to see a picture for every recipe I try, so that is a bit disappointing.. However there are some quick and easy recipes that really take advantage of the pressure cooker. The gluten free information at the beginning is excellent and a brilliant resource to keep referring back to whether you use the recipes or not.

As a busy mom who is gluten free, it’s not always easy to find recipes that appeal to my family that I can make in a time crunch. I love my Instant Pot for the convenience of throwing it in one pot but there isn’t a lot out there as far as gluten free recipes. Most gluten free recipes contain a multitude of ingredients that are not likely to be on hand in the average kitchen. I am so grateful to have this cookbook, as it is chock full of recipes that are not only feasible but are a crowd pleaser for my family. This cookbook will be a frequent go-to for this busy mom! Thank you to the publisher for the advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

This cookbook has a large variety of gluten free recipes that call for a pressure cooker. My favorite is the cherry barbecue wings. A close second is the chile mac. I have had to reduce my gluten intake, because I've found that fibromyalgia symptoms are reduced when following a gluten free diet. She describes what a pressure cooker is, how it works, and more. It reduces cook time by 70%! I wish there were more pictures, and that they were labeled. I was surprised to see that there are breakfast recipes too. I volunteered to review this cookbook in exchange for a pre-publication copy of the book.

This cookbook offers easy to follow gluten free recipes that you can make with your instant pot. The only drawback that I could see is that there was not enough pictures. I am a visual creature and need to make sure my meals look close to the recipe.

It is rare that I come across a cookbook that has filled the entire book with recipes that everyone in my family will love, that I approve of, and that I don't have to tweak to fit our health requirements. I love that so many popular and tasty recipes are included in this cookbook, including an entire section of Asian food favorites, a very popular choice in our household. I also love that all of these recipes are for the Instant Pot, which is, aside from my Kitchenaid Stand Mixer, my favorite Kitchen tool. There is a wide variety of food options from every category, including some fabulous desserts that I can't wait to try! I also love that they include recommendations for brands of pre-packaged foods that are used in the recipes that are gluten free to take out the guess work. I recommend this book to anyone following a gluten free diet.

This cookbook includes recipes and colour images (my fav in any cookbook)! All recipes are gluten-free and designed for the Instant Pot. There are a lot of down to earth recipes with ingredients that most people would already have in their kitchen! There are sections for breakfast, soup, mains, desserts (including New York Style Cheesecake and Double Chocolate Fudge Cheesecake), and more! This book is highly recommended for anyone eating gluten-free.

#TheGlutenFreeInstantPotCookbookRevisedAndExpandedEdition #NetGalley

I would like to thank Quarto Publishing Group – Harvard Common Press for providing me with a free – temporary – electronic ARC of this book, via Netgalley. Although I’m auto-approved with this publisher, the decision to read this book is entirely my choice and any reviews given are obligation free.

As my regular readers will know, wheat is one of the things I can’t eat… without ill-effects. I could go into it, but that would detract from the review so let’s skip talking about me and get on with talking about ‘The Gluten Free Instant Pot Cookbook Revised and Expanded Edition.

I enjoyed reading through this cookbook and could even see myself making some of the recipes. Yes, look, I didn’t try any of the recipes and I am being open and honest about it. Just like I didn’t try and solve murders, cast spells or hunt monsters as discussed in other books I’ve recently finished. I don’t try EVERY book I read. But I definitely COULD see myself giving some of the recipes from ‘The Gluten Free Instant Pot Cookbook Revised and Expanded Edition’ a go. I’ve even noted down the gluten-free flour blend they use. So, yes, there were a few really interesting recipes I would like to try… but sadly the majority of recipes fit into the “other foods I can’t eat without ill-effects” as they are full of dairy, allium, seafood, etc. I am a pain to cook for, which is why I do most of the cooking myself. ;-)

What I loved about ‘The Gluten Free Instant Pot Cookbook Revised and Expanded Edition’ is the fact that the very first thing listed on a recipe, under its title, was what other common food allergies, issues and intolerance that recipe is free off. Such as: dairy free, soy free, nut free, vegetarian, etc. Yes allium was never listed as so few people have allergies and intolerances to these evil little critters I generally assume they are in everything savoury I look at. However, this quick reference “safe foods list” was still incredibly helpful and really made me feel the authors were truly passionate about helping people with food issues find recipes they can make and eat without fear of ill-effects. This is one of the biggest struggles for people with food allergies and intolerances, so I am always grateful to those who include it so clearly.

Another positive for ‘The Gluten Free Instant Pot Cookbook Revised and Expanded Edition’ is that the majority of recipes are made up of whole food ingredients. Yes there is the odd one or two recipes that ask for a bottle of pre-made this or that… but these recipes are few and far between. I feel this is another sign of a very good cook book. It shows the authors are very conscious not just of the need to be gluten free, but healthy by sticking to whole foods.
Oh, and if you don’t have an Instant Pot – don’t fear! The recipes are written in such a way that the cooking instructions can work for any multi-cooker with similar functions. I have a Philips All-in-one cooker and feel the cooking instructions given in ‘The Gluten Free Instant Pot Cookbook Revised and Expanded Edition’ would work just as easily for me than for someone who has an Instant Pot.

About the only downside I can see is it’s not exactly a family friendly book when it comes to portion sizes. The majority of the recipes serve four at most. I have a family of five… A lot of my friends have even larger families. So, we’d all have to either double the recipes for find other things to bulk out meals out with.

‘The Gluten Free Instant Pot Cookbook Revised and Expanded Edition’ is broken down into ten sections for easy searching. Each section starts with an introduction of that section, and then lists the recipes it includes. Making it a great, quick reference guide. Something we all need from time to time when we just want to get meals in the slow cooker and get on with the rest of our to do lists.

There is also a very useful intro that helps you feel “at home” with the book, and it talks at a level I feel suitable for those new to multi-cookers, through to those more experienced with these kitchen life savers.

For the nerd girl formatting side of things… well, there were the odd typo, but none of us are perfect. I know I’m not. But nothing major that would cause you to stuff up a recipe. The recipes are clear, easy to read, easy to follow and well formatted. Although I love a book that has limited images (not all recipe comes with an image) there may be some cooks who won’t like this. To me, less photos of the food means more room for recipes and you really can’t complain about that!

Would I recommend this book for others?

Yes I would. Especially those with busy lives and young children newly diagnosed as being gluten free. No, not because it is a cook book aimed at kids – it’s not. But because it is a great whole food, gluten free, family cookbook that would allow a parent to ensure there is still food variety in the house, while also avoiding gluten. And I also feel the younger families would work better for the portion sizes offered. Serves 4 works better with two adults and young kids than for me with two adults, a teen and two tweens who are always hungry!

Other people – new or not so new – to the gluten free diet will also love it. Especially if you don’t have all the other food allergies and intolerances I have. Though, I have to admit, many recipes cater to more than just gluten free options. It is a good, allergy/ intolerances friendly cookbook.

Would I buy this book for myself?

I might… but I have to be honest with you and say I’m more likely to seek it out as a library book and make a note of the few recipes I would want to try. Basically, I own hundreds of cookbooks. Waaay too many, if I am honest. And so I am trying to streamline and only keep cookbooks that are either sentimental favourites or those where I would make at least 50% of the recipes regularly. Sadly ‘The Gluten Free Instant Pot Cookbook Revised and Expanded Edition’ doesn’t contain that many recipes that I would want to cook regularly. Not because it is full of bad recipes – it is NOT. Simply because I have more than just gluten I need to avoid and too many of the recipes contain things I can’t substitute, leave out or use. Plus the portion size issues. The fault lies with me, not the book.

In summary: A great, family friendly, whole food gluten free cook book.

This instant pot cookbook is great even if you aren’t gluten free. It is a very simple layout easy to read and full of recipes.

Thank you, Quarto Publishing and NetGalley, for a digital ARC.

This is a great cookbook for gluten-free instant pot recipes. The recipes look delicious and flavorful. The ingredients are readily available and the instructions are simple and easy.

I was so excited to get an advanced copy of this book. I have started to go away from gluten and love using my instant pot. The recipes were so easy to follow and the pictures made everything look delicious. The variety of recipes will have me trying them all for awhile.

The recipes would be wonderful for those who are GF and are easily made more gut-friendly with the addition of grains for fiber if that would float your boat and your gastrointestinal tract. Recipes are clearly labeled with other common allergens like dairy, egg, soy, and nut. There are vegan and vegetarian recipes included too.
Easy to follow recipes that actually turn out as good as they look.

Delicious recipes and pictures! Great variation from the same old gluten free recipes you see everywhere. Will definitely be making some of these!

This is the perfect cookbook for the gluten free cooks that want to save time in the kitchen - even the non-gluten free cooks! The layout is simple and easy to read with 100 fast to fix nourishing, flavorful recipes for the instant pot. There are 50 new recipes all with eye appealing color photos in this revised and expanded edition.

I love cooking with my instant pot, and now having some gluten free recipes such as, Creamy Breakfast Frittata, Gluten Free Lasagna with Meat Sauce, Apple Cinnamon Bread Pudding, and Mexican Chocolate Pound Cake, which are all included in this cookbook, fast gluten free cooking just got easier!

This cookbook contains two currently in-demand topics--gluten-free and instant pot--and I'm sure it'll be popular in our public library collection. Recipes are clearly written, techniques and tips are helpful, and overall this seems like a great cookbook. My only (minor) complaint is that I wish there were more recipes had their own photo of the finished product, because I like to see what I'm making.

Gluten free and instant pot, both two things that are hot right now. I just recently picked up an instant pot and have been GF out of necessity for a while now. This book seemed to be right what I needed, as I have not yet actually used my IP to make anything.

I really appreciated that most of the main allergies were listed at the beginning of each recipe (soy free, dairy free, etc.) and that a GF house and how to deal with that was discussed. The warning about cornmeal being very sticky and that the pot should be soaked before it sets was a nice tip. The main dishes also sounded mouth-watering.

What I missed was pictures of the food. There were some, but not a lot and I like to see what it's supposed to look like. Give me something to try for. The last cookbook I read had pictures of the final product and some had pictures of each step of it. Many of the recipes were for spicy things, especially the appetizers. When it wasn't spicy, it had beans in it, also a food I can't have, so the whole chapter on appetizers would have to be modified before I could try them. That's work and I'm lazy, so unless I was really called to eat that particular thing, that chapter wouldn't be one I would ever really use.

The cooking time wasn't put in a clear spot, like at the beginning or end of the recipe. I like to have an estimate of prep time, cook time, rest time and total time. Makes it easier to plan when deciding what meals to make when. This had a lot of vague "under an hour" type of language, but nothing concrete. Yes, some of the different GF pastas cook at different times, but a range would be nice.

All in all, not a bad book and it does deliver what was promised, recipes that are GF for the Instant Pot. It's not the prettiest of cookbooks, but it gets the job done and I if I ever get off my duff and actually use my IP, I have my eye on a few of these recipes. 3, solid but didn't wow me, stars.

My thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Harvard Common Press for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.

This book is so full of yummy sounding (and looking!) Instant Pot recipes and information about how to have a gluten-free kitchen! If you need such a book, because you love the Instant Pot and have gluten issues, I imagine this would be one of the go-to books for interesting recipes and helpful information. The authors start the book by looking at pressure cooking in general and the Instant Pot in particular. They talk about other tools needed and helpful ingredients. The next chapter is about having a gluten-free home and kitchen. They even give recipes for recommended flour substitution blends. The recipe sections are like those you typically see in cookbooks, from breakfasts to soups to sides to main dishes and desserts. Each recipe also mentions if it has other considerations, like if it is nut free or vegetarian. The authors give further hints and tips about gluten-free cooking within the recipes themselves. Some recipes are very creative in using the Instant Pot, like using it to make a cheesecake or a breakfast frittata. They even have some breads that are made in the Instant Pot. All in all, I found this to be a delightful cookbook with many creative and fun uses for the Instant Pot. many of the recipes sound good enough that they would even appeal to people who do not have gluten issues.

While very specific, I think this is a great title that combines two very popular food trends at the moment. A diverse selection of easy to make recipes that can fit your diet needs.

Many families have a member who is gluten intolerant for some reason, or has celiac disease. And many times, everyone in the family has to suffer because the cook doesn’t have time to make two different meals. Enter The Gluten-Free Instant Pot Cookbook Revised and Expanded Edition by Jane Bonacci and Sara De Leeuw. This impressive cookbook features dishes that are not only gluten-free, but also quick and easy, and most important, delicious and appetizing to everyone – even those who don’t need to go gluten-free.

In the intro chapters, the authors show readers how to set up a gluten-free kitchen and/or dual use kitchen, and they also give information on gluten-free ingredients – very helpful.

There is a chapter on breakfasts, as well as appetizers and soups, many with beans cooked without soaking in the pressure cooker; these chapters have dozens of recipes that will become favorites and can be served at weekday family dinners and also parties. A helpful chapter features alternative grains, all made quickly in the pressure cooker, and includes a recipe for Andouille and Chicken Jambalaya that is easy and delicious. There are pasta dishes, too, like Pork Tenderloin Marsala and Penne Pasta. The Shrimp and Grits recipe has quite a long list of ingredients, but it goes together quickly, and is excellent. The variety of main dishes is impressive, and has recipes that everyone will savor such as Steamed Salmon and Garlic Red Potatoes, Classic Coq auVin, and Tacos al Pastor with Pineapple Salsa. An entire chapter featuring Asian main dishes is very appealing, and the Kung Pao Chicken will remind you of the favorite dish eaten in restaurants. The cookbook also has several great side dishes. Gluten-free desserts aren’t always good, but the ones included in this book, all made in the Instant Pot, are appealing – lots of cheesecakes, as well as puddings and even a chocolate pound cake.

The photographs are beautiful (unfortunately not all of the dishes are pictured), and the recipes are concise and easy-to-follow. Anyone with an Instant Pot or other pressure cooker, whether gluten-free or not, will enjoy the recipes in this cookbook.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.
