This cookbook offers recipes for everyone. There are some amazing sounding recipes and I didn't realize air fryers were so versatile. I would happily try a lot of these recipes.

Healthy Vegan Air Fryer Cookbook is a recipe collection and tutorial book by Dana Angelo White. Due out 1st Sep 2020 from Penguin Random House on their DK imprint, it's 160 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats.

The introduction covers the basics of cooking with the air-fryer and essential accessories as well as an intro to the vegan lifestyle/diet, including a basic primer on vegan friendly substitutions for common non-vegetarian ingredients, tips, tools, supplies, how-to. The following chapters include the recipes arranged roughly by category: breakfast, mains, sides, snacks & salads, and desserts.

Ingredient measurements are supplied in American standard measurements with metric measures in parentheses (yay!). The nutritional information: fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, carbs, fiber content, etc are listed for the recipes as well as serving sizes. Extra tips or recipe alternatives are listed in the recipes. The recipes themselves are fairly straightforward and are made for the most part with easily sourced ingredients (not all though, some of the recipe ingredients are vegan substitutions for other products (butter, cheese, chorizo, etc)). Many are very simple, none of them are overly complex.

The photography is not abundant; many of the recipes are not illustrated, but the photographs which are included are clear and beautifully well done. I wish there had been more photographs and serving suggestions, but I do understand that extra photography increases the price of book projects very quickly and the lack is not crippling because this is a fairly simple collection.

This is an interesting collection of recipes. It struck me however, that many of the recipes were really things which could more easily be made (and in larger volume) *without* the air-fryer. The recipes also rely very much on store-bought ingredients. Cooks who prefer to cook completely from scratch will have to do some pre-cooking to make the necessary ingredients.

Four stars.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes

I am in love with this book and literally want to try just about every recipe in it. This cookbook was a delight to read with beautiful mouthwatering pictures and easy to understand instructions. I was completely new to the world of air frying and did not know where to begin. Well, this was the perfect place. The author made it a fun journey and much less intimidating than I was imagining when I got my first air fryer. The brussel sprouts recipe is absolutely delicious and even got my five year old son to try them. There is no way that I can try all the recipes in this book before my complimentary preview ends, so I think I will definitely be purchasing this book as soon as I can and its recipes are easily going to become staples in my house. I highly recommend adding this to your cookbook collection, it will be well worth it!

If you already own an air fryer and are looking for ways to incorporate vegan dishes into your diet, this would be a good cookbook to consult. However, many of the recipes in here could easily be made in a regular oven. (Mango walnut parfaits, for example, only require the air fryer to toast the walnuts--which you could also do in 10 minutes in your oven.) But the recipes themselves look quite tasty, from balsamic mushroom burgers to banana bread. Good photography and plenty of nutrition information.

Loved it! Such a cute cookbook! Full of some delicious and healthy dishes. Basically you had me at Bruschetta! I’m a huge fan of all dishes like bruschetta, and the variations. This variation is made in an air fryer. The recipes have a simplistic nature and a lot of beautiful pictures.

What did I like? Variations of bruschetta are my go to. This was unique because I’d never seen an air fryer variation. The pictures in this book display some really great looking recipes such as banana bread, and wow the empanadas.

Would I recommend or buy? This is a fun cookbook! Not only with the bruschetta but some interesting looking vegan recipes. Vegetables and not just tofu recipes. Plant based recipes that offer calorie intake, and a simplistic approach with gorgeous pictures.

I received a copy to read and offer an opinion. I loved it five stars.

I'm very pleased with the easy recipes and quick convenience of an air fryer. I'm new to veganism and this book will help me adjust from vegetarian to vegan.

I love my air fryer but mainly use it for French fries. This fantastic cookbook offers healthy and unexpected recipes for your machine. I particularly appreciate the charts for vegan substitutes for common ingredients and for ways to enrich your diet. Thank you, NetGalley, for my review copy. I'll be able to easily impress my vegan daughter when she visits!

A cookbook with great photos is always a great feature. I thought a lot of the recipes are doable, which is what I look for when I pick up a cookbook. My advice is the same for every cookbook that doesn't do this - have a photo for EVERY recipe. The new chef always wants to know what it SHOULD look like - or maybe that's just me, but I always prefer a recipe with a photo of the final product alongside it.

NOTE: In this non-edited version, I hope that the formatting is redone as measurements and words were cut off for some recipes.

Thank you White, Dana Angelo MS, RD, ATC, DK, Alpha and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review. Always so grateful for the opportunity to read complimentary books!

To be honest, I didn't see anything in this book that I haven't seen in countless others in this genre. However, still a solid book for those looking for vegan recipes, just not unique.

During these bizarre and troubling times, I have been researching ways to do more cooking using an air fryer and to experiment with different healthier recipes. My research ended with this book. The vegan recipes in this book looked like a nice alternative and the recipes were cooked using an air fryer. All the recipes contained detailed instructions, calories per serving, nutritional information, and many were accompanied by a photo of the finished product. This book was well organized and divided into sections: breakfast, mains, sides, snacks and salads, and desserts.
Some of the recipes use wheat. But if you’re gluten free like I am, you can easily substitute for that. It’s something I do all the time, and it’s mostly well received by my family.
If you are vegan, you’ll probably enjoy this book. I’m not vegan, but I like the many different types of selections offered, and if I can use the air fryer instead of the hot oven, I’m all for it.

This book basically just gives you a bunch of recipes that are normally for the oven, but why not air fry it? I don’t know why I would make a batch of bagel one at a time in the air fryer, just to pop in a toaster. The veggie burgers turned out great but I cooked them on the BBQ.

This is an okay vegan air fryer cookbook but not one that will work for my family. The recipes rely heavily on wheat products and vegan food substitutes -- purchased vegan cheeses, burgers, margarine, mayonnaise, egg substitutes, etc. I cook from gluten free, from scratch and prefer to use whole foods, so there were very few recipes that were options for me.

In addition, I have a large family so cooking multiple batches of things that can easily be cooked in an oven (most of these are not fried types of foods and oils are rarely added so they will not really taste fried even in an air fryer). So many of these recipes are for things like casseroles and it doesn't even make sense to make them in an air fryer. You have to purchase a tiny little pan and then it makes just enough for one or two. Why not bake a tater tot casserole in an oven instead of in an air fryer in two parts? Other recipes just use an air fryer for a part of it, like you use the air fryer to make the walnuts for the salad or the granola for the yogurt parfait.

Also, the recipes seem very uninspired. They tend to be things like spread black beans and cilantro on a wheat tortilla, put it in the air fryer (plain, no oil sprayed on) and baked, and then served with purchased salsa. The s'mores are vegan marshmallows, vegan chocolate and graham crackers. The kale and veggie sausage wraps are liquid vegan egg substitute, vegan sausage and kale, put in a tortilla and served with Frank's hot sauce. Or the lentil empanadas -- it's a homemade dough (flour, coconut oil, water, salt) filled with cooked lentils and nothing else, not even salt. It's served with a dipping sauce, but that just sounds kind of sad. Shrug.

This may be exactly what someone else is looking for though, especially if you are cooking for one or two -- most of the recipes are fairly quick, easy to make with purchased vegan foods, and there aren't many ingredients.

Photos are provided for about 1/3 of the recipes. Nutritional information is provided.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.
