20th Anniversary Edition of
COOKING UNDER PRESSURE

I am delighted that Harper Collins has brought out a revised edition of the book that returned the pressure cooker to many American stovetops. It was published in early November and is often on Amazon’s Top-100 cookbook list.

“Anything Lorna Sass writes is a pleasure to read…She makes the cooking methods seem so easy that anyone who doesn’t own a pressure cooker will want one right away,” says Marion Nestle on the book jacket. For recommendations on what pressure cooker to buy, drop me a line or use the contact form right on this site.

Westward Ho!

I’ve set up an exciting schedule of pressure cooker demos in the Bay Area, March 26-27. I look so forward to re-connecting with my west coast colleagues and friends. Hope to see you at one of these demos.

Here are the details:

Friday, March 26: 5:30-7:30 p.m. demo and book party for COOKING UNDER PRESSURE at Rancho Gordo, 1924 Yajome St. Napa. I will demonstrate the farro risotto and bean recipe I developed for Steve Sando’s best-selling cookbook, HEIRLOOM BEANS, at about 6:30.

Saturday, March 27: 11:30 a.m. I will do a pressure cooker demo with Steve Sando of Rancho Gordo, focused on pressure-cooking heirloom beans in soups and stews with seasonal market vegetables at the fabulous Ferry Plaza Market in San Francisco.

Saturday, March 27: 3-4 p.m. I will do a pressure cooker demo of a wild mushroom risotto and a book signing of numerous of my cookbooks at Omnivore bookstore, 3885 Cesar Chavez Street, San Francisco.

Lorna Sass’ Short-Cut Vegetarian Vegan

When this collection of quick and tasty vegan recipes was published in 1997, vegan wasn’t a mainstream word, so we used the word vegetarian instead. I’m so happy that the title now says just what the book is: Short-Cut Vegan. The updated edition was published by William Morrow in April 2009 and is already in its second printing.!

Whole Grains for Busy People

After Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way won the James Beard Award last year, I was excited about doing a follow-up volume. My editor at Clarkson Potter, Rica Allennic, proposed a companion book filled with ideas for quick cooking wholegrain meals. I came up with the title Whole Grains for Busy People, which just about says it all. It was published to great acclaim in January 2009. Use it to make your healthy-eating New Year’s resolution come true.

Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way

Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way is my thirteenth cookbook and represents my ongoing interest in whole foods. Whole foods require minimal processing and benefit us and our planet in many ways. If you are a newcomer to whole foods, learning more about whole grains is a terrific way to begin making a transition.

Over the next few years I will be doing more teaching and lecturing than I have in the past. Check my schedule to see if I’ll be in your area, or contact me if you know of a cooking school or lecture venue that might like to have me visit.

Happy Cooking!
