Press Release Body: For Immediate Release

(Santa Rosa, CA, October 14, 2008) - When things get hot, the saying is "... that
you're in the pressure cooker." When it comes to cooking, that can be a good thing.
Using a pressure cooker saves time, money and energy while preserving nutrients.
Americans are finally getting over a common fear of pressure cooking, as would be
expected with the introduction of modern, sleek and safe spring-valve pressure
cookers.


Jill Nussinow, aka 'The Veggie Queen(tm) ', a Registered Dietitian who cooks well under
pressure, author of "The Veggie Queen(tm): Vegetables Get the Royal Treatment" and the
upcoming book, "The Veggie Queen(tm) Cooks Under Pressure: The New Fast Food(tm) ", has
been teaching home and professional cooks the art of pressure cooking for more than
12 years. Nussinow emphasizes using beans as an inexpensive protein source, which
certainly helps feed families in today's tight economic times. One of Nussinow's
students determined that the money that she saved in a year through cooking her own
beans, instead of buying them in cans, would more than pay for her brand new
stainless steel pressure cooker. This $100 investment started paying off right away
and will continue to do so for years to come.

Nussinow uses modern, spring-valve, pressure cookers without mishaps in classes she
teaches at Santa Rosa Junior College in California. Students are amazed at how
quickly the food is cooked and how great it tastes. Vegetable soup cooks in just 3
minutes at pressure.

"If you can boil water and twist a lid, then you can successfully use a pressure
cooker. In the past 12 years, I've shown thousands of people how to do it. Once you
catch the bug, you're just trying to figure out what to put in your cooker next.
This time of year, it's lots of winter squash - think Curried Pumpkin Soup, Three
Sisters Stew and more," says The Veggie Queen. She continues, "Not only do you get
great tasting food fast, but you reduce energy usage by at least 50% and you retain
more nutrition. It's a winning combination."

Jill Nussinow's DVD, "Pressure Cooking: A Fresh Look, Delicious Dishes in Minutes",
accompanied by a full-color 16-page recipe offers easy recipes such as Black Beans
pressure cooked in 5 minutes or Hot Cereal with Cranberries, Apples and Walnuts,
that spends only 3 minutes under pressure. With Jill's warm personality and candid
humor, viewers are treated in the75-minute DVD to a precise step-by-step instruction
on the use and safety of the pressure cooker; admonishing any doubts. Filmed on
location at a California farmer's market and in her own test kitchen, the audience
observes the easy preparation of nutritious meals anyone can cook.
