Good Food Fast: 50 Instant Pot Recipes for the Mediterranean Diet

Fast pressure cooking meets Mediterranean-inspired ingredients in Julia Chiles’s Good Food Fast. Across 50 recipes, the collection moves from shrimp and basil salad to turkey pitas, lentil stew, quinoa, seafood bakes, and vegetable-forward dishes—offering plenty of different directions for the Instant Pot.

A varied table of Mediterranean-inspired recipes

The contents span seafood, poultry, vegetables, beans, grains, salads, and pasta. That variety makes this cookbook useful to browse when you want to choose a dish around an ingredient or meal idea, rather than follow a single menu. Recipe titles include Instant Pot Vegetarian Puttanesca, Greek Chicken Mushrooms, Mediterranean Quinoa, and Salmon and Cranberry Bean Salad.

Pressure-cooking notes for the home kitchen

The introduction explains quick pressure release and natural pressure release, two approaches that affect how an Instant Pot finishes cooking. It also notes that cooking times may vary between appliances—a practical reminder to pay attention to your own cooker as you work through the recipes.

From quick salads to hearty bowls

Some recipes pair ingredients in salads, such as shrimp with basil or salmon with cranberry beans; others lean toward stews, casseroles, rice dishes, and bakes. The range gives readers several ways to explore Mediterranean-style flavors through pressure-cooked meals.
