This is such a cool recipe book. The air fryer is everywhere these days but most recipes are either the obvious (fries anyone?) or not at all plantbased. This book contains recipes for all the favourites but instructions on how to make them using an air fryer which means less fat, less cleanup, doing anything other than cooking while food cooks which is helpful for everyone no matter if you have kids, other chores, working from home so still working while food cooks, busy day so you'd rather have a shower while food cooks etc.

Yes you do need another air fryer cookbook, this time one with the main focus on plant based recipes. I found all of the recipes in this cookbook to be delicious and the book is a great addition to my air fryer cookbook collection.

The recipes are very nicely organized and straight-forward. The photos look amazing and this book includes a wide range of cuisines with some really unique dishes such as North African Tagine.

Great cover.
Awesome because it is for air fryer which I own and love.
Good thing it is also vegetable based.
The book was fine but it did not wow me.
There was so many good ideas how to use them with other spices or foods which I liked.
Loved the fact that it came in kindle format!

Fabulous!! Great to see what else you can use your air fryer for and making the most out it as an appliance

This cook book is great for anyone with an Air Fryer looking to get the most out of it and find tasty alternatives to meat based dishes. There are a wide range of dishes covering all cuisines and the recipes are clear and easy to follow.
The Getting Acquainted section is really useful if you are just starting on your Air Fryer adventure.

I was given a copy of Epic Air Fryer Plant-Powered Cookbook by NetGalley and the publishers in return for an unbiased review.

Epic Air Fryer Plant-Powered Cookbook is a tutorial and recipe collection written and developed by Michelle Anderson. Due out 12th Jan 2021 from Quarto on their Harvard Common Press imprint, it's 176 pages and will be available in paperback format.

This is a beautifully styled and formatted book full of tasty plant based recipes developed to utilize the air fryer. The introduction covers the basics of cooking with the air-fryer and essential accessories as well as tips, tools, supplies, and how-to. The following chapters include the recipes arranged roughly by category: breakfast, soups & sandwiches, lunch, snacks & appetizers, sides, mains, and desserts and baked things.

Ingredient measurements are supplied in American standard measurements with metric measures in parentheses (yay!). The nutritional information is not included. 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 and they represent a refreshingly wide variety of world cuisines.

The photography is not abundant; most 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.

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

A decent cookbook. Nothing that stands out as extra special, but I do appreciate any cookbook that gives us something more with our air fryers,

I love my air fryer, and I've been trying to incorporate more plant-based meals into my eating habits lately, so I was excited to receive an ARC of Epic Air Fryer Plant-Powered Cookbook from NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group/Harvard Common Press to review.

It should be noted that the title is slightly misleading. If you are vegetarian or vegan, you should be aware that while the recipes are vegetable-centric, many of them contain animal products. And while the air fryer is used in all the recipes, some of them also use additional cooking methods.

The recipes themselves are are easy to follow and the necessary ingredients will be easy for most cooks to source, however, the cookbook lacks nutritional info, and more importantly (to me, at least), there aren't photographs of all the recipes. I like knowing what my creation should will look like. Still, I'm looking forward to trying quite a few of these recipes.

Every holiday season I buy a gift for “the house”. This year it was smokeless indoor grill. Last year, it was an air fryer. I have yet to even open the air fryer. Here’s to trying again to motivate myself to use it by reading the Epic Air Fryer Plant-Powered Cookbook.

From breakfast to dessert, there is something for every taste here. The recipes span the globe from Fried Green Tomatoes with Remoulade (Southern US) to Kaassouffle (Netherlands) to Mango Turon (Philippines).

The Epic Air Fryer Plant-Powered Cookbook is a nice choice for vegetarians due to its variety. However, vegans and dieters should stay away. The recipes are chockful of whole milk, eggs and real butter. Even though there is no nutritional information, this is obviously not a low-calorie cookbook. In addition to the lack of nutritional info, the book has few pictures too. Overall, 3 stars.

Thanks to Harvard Common Press, Quarto Publishing and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

Personally I can deal with the recipes presented in this book. But I'm a bit disappointed about the tile. The title is misleading, I was expecting more vegetarian recipes, in reality this book isn't really plant based.

Very interesting recipes. You forget that the book is plant-powered. Lots of adventure with exotic dishes from different countries. Turkish baked potatoes. If your cookbook author is a traveler thats a bonus due to the fusion food that comes from it.
French toast, Latkes, Bulgur Egg Muffins, Barbeque Tofu and Mango Sandwich, Tofu Huevos,
Breaded cheese in the melon salad is a good texture variation.
Carrot bhajis. Dutch cheese souffle. Tofu Fries. Roasted vegetable Hummus.
I never thought about how baklavas are made. Having seen the layered stuffed circles, this presentation with latice cuts of the whole pie like makes sense and is a different look.

In Epic Air Fryer Plant-Powered Cookbook, air-frying expert Michelle Anderson shows you how to make 100+ amazing vegetarian dinners, sides, snacks, desserts, and more. Air fryers cook fast and easy and, because they use less oil, the food they deliver is crispy, crunchy, and delicious but much better for you than traditional deep-fried or pan-fried foods.

Epic Air Fryer Plant-Powered Cookbook truly holds many recipes and not just your "fried vegetable" type recipes. There were a few interesting recipes but for me, there weren't too many recipes that I would like to try. On top of that, at least in the E-book version the photos for the recipes were bad quality and didn't make the recipes any more attractive.

This book is chock full of plant powered recipes to use in your air fryer. I love learning new plant-powered recipes, and not many books have any done in an air-fryer. Many scrumptious photos. I enjoyed the addition of the personal stories of the author before each recipe, such as her experience with the recipe or her first kitchen job. That was a nice touch not found in many cookbooks. Guidelines for prep time and cook time. Recipes were organized well. A nice book for anyone who wants to cook plant-powered recipes in their air fryer.

When the title says EPIC, this is no joke. Where to begin? Firstly,this cookbook is so deep in the amount of recipes and the diversity of ways to prepare veggies in the airfryer I can't wrap my brain around which one to try first?! Second, I have many friends who I know would appreciate this cookbook to no end. Ive book marked a couple to see about making for my vegetable phobic father in law. I have a feeling he may be asking me for a copy of this.

Thank you to NetGalley and publisher for a free digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Like other reviewers, I was a bit disappointed that this 'plant-powered' cookbook had so much dairy/eggs in its recipes. However, my main issue with the cookbook is that the majority of the recipes require a baking pan and seem like they'd be better suited to a regular oven or stove...there weren't a lot of recipes that seemed particularly calibrated to an air fryer in particular. Also, some of the recipes really could have used a picture of the final meal. There were a few cool and appetizing-sounding recipes, though, so this wasn't a total bust.

For a book that is labeled plant-powered I was very disappointed by the fact that almost every recipe has animal products. I know the byline says vegetarian friendly and not vegan but when dairy and eggs are the focused this is in no way close to "plant-powered". If it was one or two recipes then I wouldn't care, or if it was easy to substitute for vegan alternatives, but cheese, heavy whipping cream, eggs, etc. are in every recipe. Very disappointed. The "plant-powered" label is very misleading.

I've had an air fryer for a while, and was really looking forward to getting some mileage out of it. However, I was rather disappointed in this cookbook.

As someone who has recently transitioned to a vegan way of eating, I was excited to find a plant-based cookbook that centered around the air fryer. To me, this sounded like the perfect book, and I was hoping to find it full of healthy recipes that I'd actually be able to use. Unfortunately, more than half of the recipes were not suitable for me, since they incorporated items like eggs, cheese, milk, and heavy cream. This meant I couldn't even think about cooking more than half of the recipes.

If you think that being plant-based automatically means eating healthy, this book will quickly fix you of that myth. The appeal that led me to get an air fryer in the first place was two-fold. It allowed me to cook unhealthy, fried recipes in a healthier way, and it saved me the mess of clean up. However, a lot of the recipes I could actually prepare required more than just the air fryer. Most of the vegan-friendly recipes in this book were soups, which required not just the air fryer, but other forms of cooking. Which to someone like me, means having to do twice as much work and twice as much clean up. For soups, my air fryer isn't the first appliance that comes to mind (that would be my all-time favorite appliance, the instant pot).

This would probably be a better fit for vegetarians who don't mind making more complex recipes, and aren't planning to use their air fryer to prepare healthy recipes. While some of the recipes sound interesting, they're mainly full of eggs and dairy. I wish I could have said I'd tried at least one of the recipes, but tofu fries just don't sound very appealing when I can just make regular fries in my air fryer.

This is a plant based/vegetarian cookbook and instead of using a regular pan you'll use your air fryer. There's no many photos so it's hard to picture how the recipe will look like specially when doing it in a different way like using an air fryer instead of regular pan I need to see the dish before wanted to cook it.

This is a vegetarian cookbook, that replaces your pan/oven with an air fryer. There were at least a couple of instances where I thought - 'but a pan would be so much simpler', but to each their own.

The recipes are simple, diverse and easy to follow.. As long as you have the right kind of fryer, which unfortunately I do not.

Each one is accompanied by a long blurb about the dish, sometimes historical sometimes personal, quite often taking up more room than the recipe itself. I thought it was a bit much and unnecessary.

I'd much rather the blurb be shortened and have that space for visuals. Photos photos photos. They don't have to be full size, anything will suffice. There were a couple of dishes that piqued my interest because I didn't know what they were, but alas, no photo to show me.
