If you love your air fryer, you’ll definitely want to pick up The Complete Air Fryer Cookbook: 140 super-easy, everyday recipes and techniques, by husband and wife food bloggers Sam and Dom Milner. Their web site, recipethis.com, is dedicated to kitchen gadgets and appliances, and over the years, they have become experts in air fryer cooking.

The first parts of this excellent cookbook focus on air fryer charts, ingredients, equipment needed, and general hints to make air fryer cooking successful. Then there are chapters with recipes. The breakfast chapter includes several different and luscious dishes, including the recipe for a Full English Breakfast (the authors live in the UK), and a Rainbow Brunch Bowl with colorful vegetables and sausage that are delicious. The other chapters cover poultry, meats, fish, vegan and vegetarian, whole dinners like the classic English Sunday Roast Dinner, as well as breads, quiche, pizza, and of course sweets with mouthwatering recipes that real people will actually want to make.

Included are beautiful, professional photographs of most of the dishes – it would be better if all were pictured – that make it difficult to decide what to make next. However, most of the recipes are easy, and those who are honing their air fryer skills will want to make almost every dish, whether pictured or not, out of convenience and ease. The recipes are written in standard recipe form with helpful hints and comments at the beginning of each recipe, followed by a list of ingredients, and then step-by-step instructions. Both beginning and advanced cooks will easily be able to follow their favorite recipes for picture-perfect results.

All told, this is a “must have” cookbook that should be on the cookbook shelf of anyone who likes to use their air fryer. I love this cookbook.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a honest review. I thought this book was great. As someone who is just getting their toes wet in the world of air frying this book definitely gave me many many recipes that I want to try. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys or wants to try air frying.

I tried to download this cookbook on netgalley to read and review. For whatever reason it only downloads the front cover. Not sure if the publisher can send me a hard copy to review. I’m sad because it does look look like there are a lot of good recipes.

Overall, a delightful cookbook experience! The Complete Air Fryer Cookbook has a modern look, was easy to navigate, and prompted many ideas. What wonderful graphic design! I really appreciated the multiple listing of F vs. C temperatures and differences in EU/US volumes. I tried multiple recipes from this cookbook, and sadly, the potatoes never got to the crisp status that the book said they would reach. Every other recipe I tried was great besides the garlic potatoes, which were well cooked and seasoned, but missing the crisp crunch I was hoping for. I was even more excited to see a vegetarian section, which I used heartily! A lot of the other recipes can be modified to be vegetarian, although the large roast recipes I avoided as a non-meat eater. I wouldn't say that The Complete Air Fryer Cookbook is very beginner friendly, but I will say that I learned a ton about Air Frying from the authors' hard work.

A heat cookbook for air fryer users. There are so many ideas and recipes in this book. The book features temperature differences for people who use Fahrenheit or Celsius to make it convenient for all users. There are breakfast l, lunch, dinner, and plenty of sides and deserts to try.

There’s many air fryer books on the market but some far better than others. This is a great one. Easy and tasty recipes. Most important easy English conversions

I liked the format of the cookbook and the bright colors. I think this cookbook is aimed for more of an English palate rather than an American one.

A good collection of basics for using air fryers, presented in an easy-to-use format. Measurements are given in both English and metric, making it accessible to readers in many countries.

First of all, let me say that I love this book in terms of graphic design. There are bold colors throughout that are complemented by the bright, colorful photography. The white pages within the book aren't super exciting, but I like the box around every recipe that makes it obvious when there are 2 recipes on a single page. The white pages make me wish there were more of the stunningly designed pages throughout.

The recipes within range from simple (how to cook frozen foods in the air fryer) to complex (how to bake a cake or roast a whole chicken). There are recipes for picky eaters, carnivores, and vegetarians. I can truly see these "everyday recipes" being used in a home, especially one with children. I also love that there's a breakfast chapter, because that's my favorite meal of the day.

It's also a handy guide for people just scratching the surface with their air fryer. There are helpful charts for general cook times and progress pictures of more complicated recipes. Recommended for anyone who owns an air fryer, or those who just purchased one.

I waited for this book with anticipation as I have read lots of there books before and have made some great meals already.
This is a book with recipes that suit all types of individuals ranging from newbies to old hands at using Air Fryers. Well laid out and easy to follow recipes with clear instructions. For new people to AirFrying it will be a real help as it talks about other things and equipment that may help you make cooking easier. It also discusses different types of machine that may help you decide to buy one, or a second machine as many people are now using air fryers to cook all the time because it is more economical. Thank you both for writing this book and I would recommend it to anyone who has a real interest in using an air fryer.

I really enjoyed the cookbook #TheCompleteAirfryerCookbook. There are a lot of yummy looking and sounding recipes in there. But what impressed me the most is the fact that they begin the book explaining how to use an air fryer. Without talking down to their readers, they explain everything you need to know about this kitchen appliance. I've been pretty scared of mine, making my old man use it every time I have a recipe for it. With the tips and information that this book gives me, I'm feeling a bit more confident about using my air fryer myself. I've had lots of questions such as what do I use for putting the food in to put the food in the air fryer. How do I clean it if it gets dirty? What types of food are best to cook in it? All of this and more is explained in an easily understandable way without ever once making me feel like an idiot. I'm grateful to this book for turning a nightmare into just another easy to use appliance. I recommend this book to anyone with an airfryer, but especially to those who have fears or questions about their appliance. I also recommend #TheCompleteAirFryerCookbook to those who may not yet have an airfryer, but are looking at getting one. Before you spend your money on that air fryer, read the first chapter. The book explains what to look for in an air fryer. I wish I had read before I bought. Thank you @NetGalley and @Quarto Publishing Group-White Lion for the DRC. I am choosing to leave an honest review.

Really disappointed that this was only the cover of the book, none of the content was included in the download. Hopefully the publisher is able to fix this and then I will give a proper review.

It is completely ridiculous to provide a copy of the front and back covers of a book. How can a publisher expect a review of the book when no content is provided. As of 10/3/2023 there is still no content through either the download or the NetGalley app.

Sadly I wasnt able to review this book as only the cover downlosded!!!

If you wish for this book to be fairly reviewed it might be a good idea to provide the actual book!! Just a suggestion.

I will say that the cover image looks promising though

Only the front and back cover opened, nothing else showed even after giving it plenty of time to load.

Unfortunately I can just see the front and back cover. Nothing else. Will keep checking and if this changes I will provide a different review.

As with others, only the title page downloads. Same whether using the protected pdf or NetGalley App.

Can't provide feedback, I can only see the cover. Would have loved to be able to see what is inside the book since I do love cooking with my air fryer.

Unfortunately I can only access the cover. The book is not downloading. Based on reviews, I see this is an issue for others as well.
