Sweet recipes for your electric pressure cooker Instant desserts

Book Description
Introduction Everyone knows the Instant Pot is fantastic at cranking out soups, whole grains, and tender meat, but what about desserts? Not only can the device make top-notch cheesecakes, but it can make a whole book’s worth of desserts. This book, in fact. From puddings to cakes to pies to cobblers, you can make all the included sweet treats in an electric pressure cooker with minimal extra equipment. Other than the pure novelty of making a bundt cake in a computerized multi-cooker, there are a few good reasons for cooking desserts in an Instant Pot. Have you ever wanted dessert but couldn’t justify making an entire cake for just a few people? Or have you ever made a fancy dessert for a dinner party and were stuck with way too much left over? Since everything has to fit inside the modestly-sized pot, most recipes in this book serve 8 or fewer, with many serving only 3 or 4. There’s even a crème brûlée recipe for one! Plus, while your last course is cooking away in the pot, you’ve got the oven and stove free for making dinner. It makes multi- tasking easy as can be and is extra handy when entertaining. Lastly, since pressure cookers lock in moisture and heat, they create a perfect steam environment without heating up your kitchen. Most desserts require baking and can turn the whole room into an oven on a hot day. Rather than swearing off all sweets except ice cream for the summer, use the pot to make a memorable dessert. I’ll be the first to say that pressure cookers are not good for cooking everything, just like you can’t make everything well in a microwave or on a stove. They are, however, excellent for making rice puddings, cheesecakes, custards, steamed cakes and pies, flans, and cobblers. You’ll be surprised by the beautiful and delicious desserts that will emerge from your Instant Pot.

Southern Italian Desserts

Languages : en
Pages : 226

Book Description
An authentic guide to the festive, mouthwatering sweets of Southern Italy, including regional specialties that are virtually unknown in the US, as well as variations on more popular desserts such as cannoli, biscotti, and gelato. As a follow-up to her acclaimed My Calabria, Rosetta Costantino collects 75 favorite desserts from her Southern Italian homeland, including the regions of Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Puglia, and Sicily. These areas have a history of rich traditions and tasty, beautiful desserts, many of them tied to holidays and festivals. For example, in the Cosenza region of Calabria, Christmas means plates piled with grispelle (warm fritters drizzled with local honey) and pitta 'mpigliata (pastries filled with walnuts, raisins, and cinnamon). For the feast of Carnevale, Southern Italians celebrate with bugie ("liars"), sweet fried dough dusted in powdered sugar, meant to tattle on those who sneak off with them by leaving a wispy trail of sugar. With fail-proof recipes and information on the desserts' cultural origins and context, Costantino illuminates the previously unexplored confectionary traditions of this enchanting region.
