Book "Cocina en olla exprés", by Claudia Ferrer (Spanish version)

The cookbook "Pressure Cooker Cooking", we created it at Claudia&Julia and under the Cúpula (Grupo Planeta) publishing house, with the aim of showing how to get the most out of pressure cookers by learning to cook in them through a variety of traditional Spanish recipes.

The book has been put together with great care by Claudia Ferrer (Claudia&Julia) and Leti Iglesias (Revelando Sabores). In the first part of the book, we help you understand how a pressure cooker works, its benefits and, very importantly, what to keep in mind to adapt any of your usual recipes to the pressure cooker.

Next, you’ll find a whole host of pressure cooker recipes, with clear, detailed step-by-step instructions so you can cook a wide range of dishes in record time, from first courses (legumes, soups, vegetables, rice, pasta,..), to mains (various meats and fish) and desserts (from rice pudding to a delicious cheesecake).

Guidelines for steaming are also included, and you’ll also find in the book various recipes to make with steam in a pressure cooker.

From garlic soup to veal tail, plus pea cream, ajoarriero-style broccoli, Zamorana-style rice, octopus with potatoes, rosemary rabbit, Galician-style hake, or some delicious custard... And so on up to 49. With this book you’ll lose your fear of cooking in a pressure cooker, learn how to adapt your recipes to it, and prepare dishes that are utterly delicious.

In addition, the book includes the foreword by the renowned cook Dolors Mateu, to whom we are enormously grateful for supporting the project and pressure-cooker cooking.

Note from Claudia for you: I hope you enjoy its recipes and other content, and that it becomes your essential guide both for surviving the lack of time day to day and for crafting masterful recipes when you have guests at home.

Why did we make this book?

This book was created so you can prepare recipes from our traditional cuisine in record time, and learn to adapt your own recipes to this great kitchen tool.

Once you learn to use a pressure cooker, you can do without almost any other tool in the kitchen! We wanted to help you understand all the possibilities of the pressure cooker, understand how it works, have lots of staple recipes to make in just a few minutes, and thus learn to adapt your own recipes to use it in your day-to-day life.

We believe there’s a great lack of information on how to get the most out of a pressure cooker. Many times, the pressure cooker is simply associated with cooking soups and vegetables, but far from it, a pressure cooker is a utensil with which you can cook everything from rice, pasta, meats, and fish to all kinds of desserts, along with legumes, creams, stews... and even steamed cakes.

Do the recipes work for any pressure cooker?

That’s the idea! We developed, tested, and retested all the recipes in the book with the same pressure cooker to standardize all the times. From there, we included guidelines in the book to adapt recipes both from a traditional pot to a pressure cooker and from a pressure cooker to a super-fast pressure cooker.

NOTE: All the recipes were made in the WMF Perfect pot, as it is a super-fast pressure cooker and one of the best-selling in all of Europe. If you have that or any other super-fast pressure cooker, you shouldn’t need to change the times indicated in the book. If you have a standard pressure cooker, you should increase the cooking times by a few minutes; I explain it in the book.
