A NEW BAR FOR ALL IP BOOK WRITERS! …If there’s a book prize for cookbooks, this book should be the 2022 winner—hands down!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book is by far my favorite of all of the IP cookbooks I’ve bought or checked out. I love that there are so many Indian recipes but also a ton of non-Indian one.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just made the mushroom risotto- using a mixture of baby spinach and chard. So delicious and easy to make. This will be a weeknight staple for sure.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book is amazing! So many flavors and different cultures of food in one huge book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Richa’s flavors, attention to detail, and care shine through this book. Her first book is my gold standard. This book promises to be just as wonderful. Buy it – you cannot go wrong with recipes from Richa!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

20k is in another fund, not added to the chart above.

I want to add 4 new charities to get $1k each.

Comment below or send me a mail about your favorite charity. And I will pick 4 for now. We add organizations every year so I’ll save the others to consider as well. The orgs we choose are goal oriented, have limited administrative and other expenses, are cognizant of the bigger picture to solve problems in a sustainable manner for the long run.

In case you missed it

I did a live on instagram cooking one of the dishes, my first one ever. ???? That was nerve wracking. Thankfully my legs allowed me to stay standing for that long. If my health permits, I’ll probably do more.

Indian-inspired Masala Vegetable Pot Pie

This deeply seasoned vegetable pot pie has this amazing creamy white masala sauce that is flavored with from garam masala and other Indian spices! Topped with crispy, puff pastry rounds, this is a total comfort food casserole. (soy-free with nut-free and gluten-free options) originally published May 23 2017

This veggie pot pie has all things I love: creamy, spiced sauce; loads of veggies and greens; and it’s topped with crisp, flaky biscuity puff pastry.

It is so easy to put together. The sauce comes together really quickly in a blender. Then, chop your veggies or use frozen vegetables for an even easier pot pie. Top with your favorite made-ahead biscuit dough or puff pastry sheets cut into rounds.

The hardest part about making this veggie pot pie is waiting to devour it as it bakes. It makes the house smell so amazing!

The masala cream is a simple blender sauce with cashews, non dairy milk, and spices, and it’s super versatile. You can use it to make a white sauce curry, bring to a boil to thicken, and add roasted veggies, baked tofu, baked veggie balls, chickpeas, cooked soy curls, etc.

You can also make this casserole into individual portions in small ramekins with a biscuit on each. Just bake for less time.

No matter how you make this, it’s an easy, crowd pleasing, fun pot pie casserole.
Wishing you all an amazing holiday season! If you’re looking for gifts for family and friends, do consider getting one of cookbooks!(some deals right now on some retailers).
