Typical poor editing and English as second language (or very uneducated) indie publication that many free cookbooks suffer from. In addition, author doesn't understand what VEGAN means (kind of a problem, with the title of the book). Had he labeled it vegetarian, the recipes full of eggs, honey, butter and cheese would not be so misplaced.

This isn't the only instant-pot cookbook with this sort of problem. I was reading thru one last night and managed to get thru a few pages before just deleting it. There was more up-front content (but same issues of not quite English sentences), but same confusion as to their audience (paleo, yet recipes full of sugars) and the very first recipe required use of the instant pot, then moving the pot to the oven, then removing the contents (whole), cutting them into pieces, then cooking on a waffle iron. All to result in a frittata "waffle". Pretty involved and a kitchen full of dirty appliances before you were done. As to whether or not the recipes would even work - your guess is as good as mine. Oh, and an affiliate link included before the content, promising you secret info on bestsellers (a violation of the affiliate agreement at Amazon, plus a blatant lie, since it linked to the bestseller lists at Amazon that anyone can view, no link from the book required).

(I have "purchased" so many free cookbooks for the Instant Pot pressure cooker that Amazon is now suggesting that I might be interested in a book called How to Grow Marijuana.)
So, are you saying that people are processing pot in their instant pot? Or that Amazon needs to work on their language processor a bit?
