Vegan Richa's Instant Pot™ Cookbook: 150 Plant-based Recipes from Indian Cuisine and Beyond

I have so many cookbooks but, don’t have a vegetarian one for my pressure cooker. A masterpiece of yummy vegetarian meals, filled with beautiful pics.

Richa Hingle has perfected the art of Instant Pot cooking times and flavors, making this cookbook a sure thing when it comes to cooking an easy and delicious dinner. I never make new recipes for dinner guests, but if I was going to, I'd pick one of these because I trust this cookbook! The spinach artichoke pasta was so heavenly, and the leftovers the next day heated up beautifully making it even more delightful. The creamy sauce was so delicious and decadent, yet left me feeling light after the meal and was chock full of protein and nutrients, and best of all, I only used one pot to make dinner so cleanup was a breeze. The arroz con pollo with soy curls was also out of this world - if you haven't cooked with soy curls yet, this cookbook is an amazing place to start! They're also an awesome plant-based protein for people who aren't fans of beans or tofu, or just to mix things up. I find them super kid friendly, and the General Tso's soy curls are another recipe in this book that my kids LOVE. (Any can be subbed with tofu or chickpeas if you don't have or want to use them.) I have four different Instant Pot cookbooks and they can be hit or miss on timing sometimes, or on how well the flavors stand up to the pressure cooking. This cookbook is hands down one of the best I've ever used in terms of being easy, reliable, and delicious. I am a HUGE fan, and if I had one instant pot cookbook it would be this one. Richa Hingle is well known for delicious Indian cuisine and this cookbook includes some incredible options in that category while also having a range of casseroles and pasta dishes inspired by many other cuisine styles. It could not be more versatile. Highly recommend.

Richa's recipes are very easy to follow and recreate. I don't have time or desire to mess with food presentation, I just want good food. And this is GOOD FOOD. This weekend I used some Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ to make her BBQ Lentils with Baked Potato and Sriracha Mayo. When I was making up the lentils and then the mayo, I tasted both individually. And they were good. But when it all went together the result was AMAZING. We all exclaimed right out loud at the table! I find many of her recipes are like this....she KNOWS how to combine flavors and foods that REALLY work together. Plus, don't be daunted by a spice you haven't heard of or a meal you haven't tried. These recipes are not far out, and you don't need to be a cooking expert to understand how to make them. They are very much within easy reach for anyone to make. Looking forward to more exploration of the cookbook!

By far the best vegan recipes I have ever made. What I love the most? The sauces. The way she breaks down the sauces at the front of the book and then goes with what foods go with which sauces throughout the book. I love the way it's laid out. So easy to follow and the recipes are scrumptious and I am not a vegan!

I’ve cooked a few recipes from this cookbook, and although they are a bit uneven, overall, they’re above average. My only complaint is that each yields less than the advertised serving size of 4 people. I suggest doubling the recipes. I’ll be trying these recipes for a while—I have so many marked!

Love this book. All the recipes are so easy to follow. The food turns out delicious every time. The pictures are so helpful. My kids decide the menu of the week based on the pictures. Also great book for kids who are getting introduced to cooking.

My passion in vegan whole food cooking and I have been trying recipes for 25 years. I have over 100 vegan cookbooks and try new recipes every week. Richa Hingle's Instant Pot cookbook is outstanding and head and shoulders above 99% of the vegan books published. I have tried about 10 recipes, mostly pasta/grain/vegetable dishes and soups. The recipes are very detailed and clearly written; no guess work as to what to do. Love it that the ingredients list measurements as well as by weight, as I prefer to cook by weight. Every recipe I have tried so far has not just been good, but outstanding! As I try new recipes from her book, my husband keeps saying that her version of a recipe is the best ever, whether it be mac & cheese, mushroom soup, stroganoff, etc. Her recipes are so flavorful and the seasonings are well balanced. I typically have to adjust seasonings for recipes from other books, but this one is perfection just as it is written. I pretty much am cooking from this book exclusively these days, as I know the recipes will turn out amazing. Thank you Richa!

I am super impressed with how extensive it is! It’s very thick and pictures are beautiful . I usually don’t buy cookbooks because I prefer to get other peoples opinions on a recipe first! But I was pretty confident that this would be worth buying because of all the recipes I have made from the author’s blog. It’s written well and easy to understand and there’s lots of subs you can use for allergies etc. The recipes turn out typically perfectly as far as cooking times and seasonings. There is a ton of Indian recipes and a large variety of other recipes as well. I think this would make a lovely gift for instant pot users. Love it!

Es mi libro definitivo para la Instant Pot. Seguro vale para quienes tienen otras marcas de olla eléctrica o incluso stovetop, que es la que uso más para no gastar luz. Tiene verdaderas genialidades, signo de identidad típico de la creatividad de Richa. Adoro todas las opciones de sustituciones que da para las recetas. Sin duda esto es lo mejor que tienen las recetas de Richa, las sustituciones, no tienes que andarte quebrando la cabeza para hacer las recetas sin gluten o sin soja, ella tiene la respuesta para todo. No he visto libro más gluten free friendly y soy free friendly. Incluso es nut free friendly. Y hasta tiene sugerencias para sustituir ajo y cebolla. Tiene todas las recetas que quería que vinieran. Tiene pocos postres pero los que tiene son tan buenos que es suficiente. No lo puedo superar, de verdad, me encanta. Lo amo. Es el libro que recomendaría definitivamente. A gente vegana, vegetariana, omnívora que quiere consumir más alimentos de origen vegetal. A los neófitos en cocción a presión les va a resolver la vida pero a los que ya usan mucho la olla a presión como yo, también les va a gustar.

Geweldig, met mooie foto's en duidelijke instructies. Wel met suiker, olie en zout, (dus niet SOS vrij) en ook niet altijs whole foods, maar dat kan je zelf makkelijk oplossen. Verder creatief, met substituties en uitbereidingen of mogelijke aanpassingen. Tenslotte heel prettig: niet weer zo'n schrijver die zelf steeds op de foto's staat. Toch is Richa's persoonlijke touch prettig aanwezig in de teksten en met 1 foto achterin.

Ho tutti i libri di Richa e seguo il suo blog, aspettavo da anni queste ricette con l'instant pot e non hanno affatto deluso le mie aspettative: il libro è pieno di consigli e sostituzioni, è molto dettagliato, ben scritto, creativo e pieno di ricette da fare e rifare!

I love Vegan Richa's recipe. This book uses the instantpot. The squash soup where you cook the squash whole and unpeeled on the trivet above the rest of the ingredients is a firm favourite in our household. It's so easy and so delicious. There are some really different recipes. Not just the same recipes everyone else is producing.

I am admittedly a bit of a fan girl…. I love Richa’s cookbooks!!! I have the other two and adore the website. They are incredible no fail recipes, Including baking!! I have never made a recipe tht didn’t work. They are well tested and so stinking delicious !!!! We are mostly plant based in our eating (family of 4 , two kids under 9) and Richa’s books make it easy to eat plant based! The kids love her recipes. This book is full of new recipes to fall in love with. The lasagna soup… adored by the family! The ‘Sweet and sour chickpeas’ recipe is so so perfect! Every bite gobbled! THANK YOU!! Yum!
