    Did you know I’ve written three awesome pressure cooking cookbooks and one baking cookbook—two cookbooks are dedicated just to sweets (and even the non-sweets cookbook has a desserts section)! 

    All of these cookbooks have clear directions and use familiar ingredients to make great-tasting meals and sweets.

    These books have been a labor of love—I hope you enjoy cooking from them as much as I’ve enjoyed creating them!

    Dream Puffs: Shockingly Easy Fun-Filled Treats

    My first cookbook, an e-cookbook, Simply Sweet Dream Puffs, is available to download! The recipes are all easy-to-make and scrumptious! It’s a baking e-cookbook devoted exclusively to making cream puffs, eclairs, and profiteroles.

    Buy it now! Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indigo (Canada).

    You’ll be amazed at all the ways you can change up cream puffs, eclairs and profiteroles (ice cream filled cream puffs.)

    Dream Puffs Front Cover

    Released in 2015, Dream Puffs teaches readers to make these looks-hard-but-are-actually-easy desserts. I’m not exaggerating—the pastry shells have a few basic ingredients that come together quick and easy.

    The fillings are simple as well. But when you put them together, it looks and tastes like you bought these puffs straight from an expensive bakery.

    There are a wide variety of flavors in this cookbook! I’m a little partial to chocolate eclairs—my favorite dessert as a little girl—but I honestly can’t pick a favorite. (Though, I do keep frozen graham pastry shells on-hand to make toasted marshmallow S’mores Cream Puffs.)

    I also have supplemental materials available on my blog: Cream Puff Piping Templates, a How-To Video and Step-by-Step Instructions, and some sample recipes.

    All three of Barbara Schieving\'s cookbooks: Dream Puffs, The Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook, and Instantly Sweet

    Long-time followers of BarbaraBakes will know about my obsession with pressure cooking, which I blog about at Pressure Cooking Today.

    I am the author of several popular electric pressure cooker / Instant Pot cookbooks. My family-friendly recipes work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi, and Power Pressure Cooker XL.

    The Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook

    This cookbook is EXTREMELY POPULAR and is a MUST-HAVE for every Instant Pot and pressure cooking enthusiast!

    Buy it now! Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop, IndieBound, or Indigo (Canada).

    The Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook is loaded with information to get you started with your Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker. It also has several sections with tips and tricks to make pressure cooking easier and more fun.

    The 200 recipes in this cookbook are a good mix of old-fashioned American favorites, international cuisines with an American flair, and healthy meals with familiar ingredients.

    Instantly Sweet

    This cookbook will be your go-to source for making sweets in your Instant Pot or other electric pressure cooker!

    Buy it now! Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop, IndieBound, or Indigo (Canada).

    For Instantly Sweet, I teamed up with my friend Marci Buttars to create a new cookbook focused exclusively on making sweet treats.

    It features everything you’ll need to know about using your Instant Pot (or other brand) to make cheesecakes, lava cakes, puddings, sauces, and so much more.

      I’m so happy for you and all of your success with your cookbooks.

      I love your Dream puffs cookbook because, well, we all love cream puffs in this family and your book has SO many delicious options to choose from. There’s something for everyone.

      Your Electric Pressure Cookbook is my “bible” when it comes to pressure cooking. The recipes are easy and delicious-and use ingredients readily available to everyone. I keep it right near my recipe box on my kitchen counter so I can grab it quick and get cooking. The pressure cooker is used pretty much daily here so that cookbook gets a LOT of use. I won’t cook corn on the cob any other way now except in the pressure cooker…and your Old Fashioned Potato Salad? A staple here now that summer has arrived. I just made a batch yesterday to go with some 7-Up Grilled Chicken-it is delicious. The cheesecakes in that cookbook are over the top too……SO much to choose from.

      I can’t WAIT for Instantly Sweet to arrive…..knowing you and Marci, I have NO doubt whatsoever that there are some decadently delicious treats just waiting to be made. What’s going to be hard is picking what to try first. Now who can I sign up to be taste testers? Hmmmmm….methinks Bob will be first in line! 🙂

      I know how much work you do getting all those recipes created and perfected. Thank you so much for sharing it all on your blogs and in these cookbooks. I’ve learned so much from you and look forward to what’s ahead.
