I am absolutely thrilled that she has her very own book, The Essential Instant Pot Cookbook. If you’ve loved Coco’s recipes here on Simply Recipes (like this Beef Chili and these Chipotle Chicken and Rice Bowls, then you’ll love her cookbook. It’s not quite as nice as having her on speed dial, but it’s the next best thing. Ok, let’s talk cheesecake.

The flavors of scotch can vary wildly, from almost-sweet and oaky to something that tastes like licking a fire pit....

I sear the outside, just before putting it in the slow cooker, so you still get the crispy caramelized outside with tender, moist meat. The cooking liquid made from a combination of juice from the pork, honey, and balsamic vinegar can be spooned over the pork just before serving or reduced and thickened to create a sweet and tangy glaze. What Is Pork Loin? It’s important to understand the difference between a pork loin and a pork tenderloin to make this recipe....

This cinnamon roll recipe combines the best of both worlds: the predictable convenience of fast-acting yeast with the deep nuanced flavors in sourdough. Sourdough starter contributes the inherent tang of fermentation, while commercial yeast allows the dough to rise quickly so your cinnamon rolls won’t be too sour, resulting in cinnamon rolls with a balanced flavor. Since you’ll be using commercial yeast, you can make this recipe all in one day and it comes together in less than 3 hours....
