About Urvashi Pitre
Bio
Since I was a toddler, the preparation, sharing and teaching of our family meals was an everyday part of our home. Family and neighbors shared in the idea that food, no matter what, brings people together. Like art, words, and the precious outdoors, how we nourish each other is another expression of love and commitment to relationships.
I’ve been in the relationship business since my first job tending my mom’s salon. I’ve been in the client service business across various global and entrepreneurial positions including the advertising agency world, blogger, author of several top-rated cookbooks and recipes and a self-made immigrant who simply loves to share flavors, ingredients and techniques that go beyond the everyday table. It’s what brings us all together.
And one last thing: I am a gadget, tech geek who loves the innovation of cooking that satisfies my statistician soul. If I can do it better, faster and with greater success rate, I’m game and going for it. You will see that many of my recipes use Instant Pots and air fryers so that you can spend more time relaxing and less time cooking.
That’s the long and short of it. Embrace change with gusto, and nourish yourself and your loved ones along the way.

Fully authorized by Instant Pot—brand new recipes from the best-selling author of Indian Instant Pot Cookbook and The Keto Instant Pot Cookbook
Indian Instant Pot Cookbook by Urvashi Pitre is already one of the top-selling cookbooks in its category. Now Pitre turns her sights to all kinds of boldly flavored and internationally-themed recipes—Mexican, Thai, Moroccan, and more—with Instant Pot Fast & Easy, fully authorized by Instant Pot. Just like fans have come to expect, Pitre's incredibly well-tested recipes will work perfectly every time, and of course taste great too. And because these are Instant Pot recipes, dishes like Japanese Chicken Curry, Chinese Steamed Ribs, and Mexican Pulled Pork are ready in a fraction of the time they would take using traditional cooking methods. As with all of Pitre's recipes, the focus is on whole foods instead of artificial convenience ingredients, so the recipes are delicious, easy, and healthful too.
Urvashi Pitre, author of best-selling cookbooks such as Indian Instant Pot Cookbook, The Keto Instant Pot Cookbook, and Instant Pot Fast & Easy, is back with her latest Instant Pot collection featuring 100 boldly flavored vegetarian and vegan recipes. Unlike with many other vegetarian cookbooks, you won't find esoteric ingredients like seitan, tempeh, and fake meats. Instead, the emphasis is on fresh, whole foods that everyone in the family will enjoy, even meat eaters, from Mexican, French, Greek, Thai, and Indian cuisines, to name just a few. The recipes have been impeccably tested, as are all of Pitre's recipes, so they will work right every time with a minimum amount of fuss. Dishes like Eggplant Parmigiana Pasta, Harissa Bean Stew, Butternut-Ginger Soup, and Hot Fudge Pudding Cake use whole, plant-based ingredients and come together for an indulgent and satisfying meal, making this an essential purchase for Instant Pot fans--vegetarian or not.
Benefits to Air Fryer Cooking:
- Minimal oil needed to cook most foods
- Doesn't heat up entire kitchen
- Has fan-forced heat so it reduces cooking time by 25 to 35%
- Fan-forced heat can produce a crisper outer crust than baking alone
- More energy efficient: lower temperatures and shorter cooking times
- Splatters are contained to within the device
- All of the surfaces (drum and grid/basket) can be put in the dishwasher
- Smaller footprint than oven so it's great for smaller spaces like dorm rooms, apartments, and RVs.
- Drastically shorter pre-heating time

Delicious low-carb desserts, baked goods, and other treats for people following the incredibly popular keto diet
The ketogenic diet has taken America by storm, and bestselling author Urvashi Pitre can attest to its effectiveness firsthand. Following this high-fat, low-carb way of eating helped her lose (and keep off) 80 pounds. Best known for the high-quality and impeccably tested recipes on her blog, TwoSleevers.com, Urvashi here turns her expertise to the snacks and treats that people miss most when they're eating the keto way—quick breads, muffins, pancakes, cookies, cakes, pies, ice cream, and more. Urvashi offers recipes for many classic, high-carb favorites that have been reworked to be “fat bombs,” which help keep your macros in balance, as well as prevent you from craving all the things you usually can’t eat when you're trying to lose weight. Many of the more than 100 recipes require no more than 10 to 15 minutes of prep time, and they taste as delicious and indulgent as they sound—how about Chocolate Peanut Butter Pops, Mocha Cheesecake, or Almond Butter Bombs? She also includes recipes for tasty smoothies, savory dressings, and sauces to round out the collection.
Interest in the keto and low-carb diet continues to sweep the country as people are finally achieving weight loss success, and keeping the weight off, but it can still be difficult to find recipes easy enough to get on the dinner table after a long day at work. Urvashi Pitre, author of the best-selling The Keto Instant Pot Cookbook, who lost an incredible 80 pounds following a low-carb, keto diet, understands the struggles well. She has raised two sons and she runs her own company, so she knows how hard it can be to keep on track with healthy cooking night after night. She also knows that it's nearly impossible to stick to a diet plan if the recipes don't taste great. Urvashi has become famous for her delicious and impeccably tested recipes, and this book will deliver the same with flavor-packed dishes like Broccoli Cheddar Soup, Chicken Sate with Peanut Sauce, Beef Enchilada Casserole, and even desserts like Lemon Pound Cake to satisfy your sweet tooth, all ready in 30 minutes or less.
