This book has so many great recipes for an air fryer and has clear instructions and appetizing photos.

As a new air fryer owner, this book was great to get inspiration on all the things I could cook in this small appliance. One of the things I have loved about this appliance is its ability to make great meals for one, so I loved this cookbook focusing on cooking for one. I have made a few of these things, but excited to use the recipes provided in this book to see if that ups my air fryer game. I enjoyed reading the ebook version for review, but I will definitely be adding this to my physical cookbook shelf for easy reference.

You will want this book in your kitchen.

Cooking for one can be daunting. For me who used to cook for more than one, it is not easy to measure the food. I ended up cooking too much, and usually had to share. And sometimes, I didn't enjoyed the meals I made, maybe from the effort of cooking. So this book comes in handy, with some easy to prepared meals for one, less time to cook (you can leave them in the air fryer while you're preparing yourself for the morning routine), and with mouthwatering ideas you might not think about,

I love my air fryer and this book has given me so many new recipes to try. I also am just one person and don't enjoy cooking for just me, so this is a great tool to help get me out of that funk!

I received a copy of this ebook from netgalley for a honest review.

Not enough pictures! The recipes sound interesting and different, especially the vegetarian section.

This cookbook is great, especially when you’re only cooking for 1 or 2. The recipes are really creative and they save a lot of money by not having so many leftovers.
I’d always used the air fryer for side dishes, then I tried the breakfast crunchwraps and they were delicious!

The only thing I didn’t like was that there were no pictures. 4.5 stars.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley I received a complimentary copy wow of this book. Opinions expressed as in this review are completely my own.

I just bought an air fryer after debating whether it would be very useful for one person. This book answered that question - there are lots of yummy sounding recipes I can't wait to try out.

I love my air fryer and I love this book. The recipes are easy, and quick, and there are so many to give me inspiration if I need it. Having the per serving listed after every recipe is perfect if you're on a health journey and easy to calculate your calories for the day. Most recipes are for multiple people so it is nice to have a single-serving recipe book on hand.

There are some recipes with no photos but the recipes are simple enough to recreate with ease.

The book would be perfect as a gift for single friends that are living on their own! Alongside an air fryer of course.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the opportunity to read and review this book. I received a copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest review

Wonderful! This was actually really helpful, because I just got my first air fryer, and it's just 2 people in my home. I highly recommend.

I have a big family but I often find myself cooking for just me at breakfast and lunch. This is perfect those times. These recipes aren’t boring one person meals. And you can easily size up the recipes (which I plan to do with a lot) for a bigger family.

I wish there were more pictures because some of the recipes could use a little visual description.

Thank you to NetGalley and Adams Media for the free digital ARC!

I liked the tips for using an Air Fryer (including some around choosing an air fryers for those just getting started) and the variety of recipes. Some recipes ask that you use additional tools (such as ramekins) but they're ones that you're likely to have on hand anyways so no major points lost for that. Recipes seem mostly easy to follow and fairly quick.

Great introduction to air frying. The material at the beginning of the book gives you lots of information about air frying. I really liked the information about best tools for use in an air fryer. There are 175 recipes to try in this amazing cookbook. They are broken up into categories: breakfast, appetizers, sides, poultry main dishes, beef and pork, seafood and fish, vegetarian and desserts. Heather Johnson discusses the health benefits of using an air fryer but also gives you recipes for onion rings and french fries. Yum.

After you have read the introduction and information about cooking for one - go to the Table of Contents with page numbers to find the type of recipe you would like to make. I went to breakfast first. After you read about making breakfast in the air fryer there is a list of each breakfast recipe with its page number. I plan to make the Avocado Baked Eggs, it looked yummy in the picture and sounded easy to make. There are a bunch of egg recipes that sound healthy and easy to make. But there are also sweet recipes to make for breakfast as well.

Make sure and check out the Hands-on Time and Cook Time to determine if a recipes is right for you and the time you have to cook. Each recipe is designed for cooking for one.

This is quite a varied and creative range of recipes--lots of things I hadn't seen before. The air fryer is a perfect tool for cooking for one and I'm glad to see such a great collection of ideas. Many of these sounded very tasty and the directions were all clear and seemed plausible. I would have loved to have seen pictures of all the recipes, but there were only 3-4 per section. That said, this is still a great resource and I will definitely be turning to it often.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

It was about time that someone gave us an air fryer for one book! The recipes are easy, ingredients are what you have in your pantry and the results are delicious. I have sooooo many people who are going to receive this cookbook.

Moi qui viens de m'offrir un airfryer c'est sympa de trouver l'inspiration de recettes.
Il y y en a pour tous les goûts.
Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de photo pour toutes.
Les explications sont claires c'est le plus important.

Have a new compact air fryer that I haven’t used yet but this cookbook has inspired me to try old favorites plus new recipes. My husband and I find it difficult to cook smaller portions and feel this cookbook will go a long way in helping us achieve that goal. I found the breakfast recipes particularly intriguing as I find myself eating the same thing every morning. This book has arrived just in time for my new adventure in cooking!
I received an advanced reader copy for free from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

The ‘I Love My Air Fryer’ Cooking for One Recipe Book by Heather Johnson
175 Easy and Delicious Single-Serving Recipes, from Chicken Parmesan to Pineapple Upside-Down Cake and More

Having wanted to buy an air fryer but not really knowing what to look for, this book seemed perfect for me to read and review. I was pleased to find that the information was relevant and provided the information I was looking for related to oven vs basket air fryers. It also provided the ‘why’ of buying one and it will be what I buy when I replace my toaster oven soon. The many functions it replaces from deep frying to toasting and baking all sound perfect and the one electrical appliance will be perfect for my husband and me.

The book begins with an introduction and important information, tips, and suggestions for cooking with an air fryer. It provides optional accessories and how they would be used if purchased. THE RECIPES ARE APPETIZERS AND SNACKS, SIDES, POULTRY, BEEF AND PORK, SEAFOOD A ND FISH, VEGETARIAN AND DESSERTS. Every recipe includes calories and that is important to me since calorie counting is something that I do. The tips on how to purchase say small peppers instead of large ones to avoid waste, were informative. The recipes also sounded delicious and provided some healthy options along with comfort and more decadent foods.

I believe this is a book that I would enjoy having in my kitchen…along with an air fryer, and may request my daughter bring it to me for my birthday this year.

Thank you to NetGalley and Adams Media for the ARC – this is my honest review.

Fabulous "cookbook" actually has recipes and tips I am looking forward to using! Most cookbooks have pretty pictures and sound good recipes with ingredients most people can't find at their local store , but this book has practical tasty recipes for thing you might normally eat, made with staple you can find that are scaled down to make for one person instead of a crowd with lots of instructions and tips about air-frying.. I am single and finding a cookbook with small portions is nearly impossible and finding one that has food you want to eat is even more rare. I thoroughly enjoyed reading through this book and plan to get my own copy.
Excellent all the way around!
