The "I Love My Air Fryer" Low-Carb Recipe Book

Great variety of recipes, and a wonderful resource for those of us who are trying to cut carbs out. Highly recommend this book!

Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy of the I Love My Air Fryer Low-Carb Recipe Book.

Oh boy, I can't wait to make some of these recipes!! I've had an air fryer for a few years now and definitely don't use it the way I could be. I didn't even realize you could make some of this stuff in an air fryer. I've already bookmarked three recipes I want to try this week alone. I like the idea of having a hard copy recipe book that I can stand up on my counter while cooking, to follow along with, so I will definitely be adding this to my Amazon wish list! My only very "minor" complaint is not enough pictures. IMO, the more pictures, the better. I'm a very visual person and if something looks delicious, I'm going to want to make it more than if there isn't a picture and I'm just reading a list of ingredients.

Many times a diet fails simply because the recipes used are boring and tasteless. If you have an air fryer, you need this book! The science behind lowering carbs in your diet is sound. The air fryer makes the everyday practice of lowering carbs delicious! So, if you are thinking of joining the many who are now lowering carbs the delicious way, get yourself an air fryer and this book. You will never go back!

This is a nicely presented cookbook with plenty of fairly easy dishes to cook. The recipes are broken down by type: breakfast, appetizers, sides, chicken, beef and pork, seafood, vegetarian and deserts. Many of the dishes will require extra parts for your fryer: kebab racks, perforated baking paper, special pans and dishes, etc. So check that your fryer sells accessories or that you can buy the accessories to make the dishes.

The recipes have a large variety, with some staples and then more exotic dishes interspersed throughout. Each recipe has a large title, a short introduction, prep and cooking time, serving size, ingredients in a call out box, and then numbered short paragraph steps. Per serving info (sugar, carbs, salt, etc.) is also given at the bottom.

Nearly all the recipes are cooked in short steps - one of the benefits of a slow cooker is that it is pretty much 'mix and then throw in the fryer.' Sample recipes include: brunchy shakshuka bell pepper cups, barbecue turnip chips, bone marrow butter, broccoli tots, buddha bowls, vegan dogs and sauerkraut, almond ricotta lime cake.

The layout is clean and occasionally there is an image to accompany a recipe (but only a few, unfortunately). The beginning has an introduction to air fryers that is very brief. The usual metric conversion chart ends the book. Reviewed from an advance reader copy provided by the publisher.

Low Carb diets have been popular for years now, and since air fryers are all the rage, Michelle Fagone’s The "I Love My Air Fryer" Low-Carb Recipe Book: From Carne Asada with Salsa Verde to Key Lime Cheesecake, 175 Easy and Delicious Low-Carb Recipes is very timely. In this excellent cookbook, Fagone has covered all the bases to keep the recipes low carb, but tasty. Most of the recipes are also gluten-free, since alternative flours have lower carb counts.

Many of the recipes have minimal ingredients, and the recipes are written in such a way that they also take minimal time to make. While there are beautiful photographs, it seems there aren’t enough of them, which is probably the only negative about this cookbook. The positives are not only excellent information on using air fryers and low carb ingredients, but especially the recipes. Fagone uses ingredients in interesting ways, such as a new favorite, Bacon Vegetable Morning Hash which pairs bacon and Brussels sprouts in a hash-type dish that is luscious. Other new favorites include Pecan-Crusted Honey Mustard Chicken Breasts with only three ingredients, and a Chopped Steakhouse Salad. Low carb dieters will find dozens of tempting recipes that they can make for themselves and also feed others.

Low carb diets are often boring, and this cookbook introduces dishes that not only aren’t boring, but are actually appealing, which helps dieters stick to their diets. Even non low carb dieters will find dozens of dishes in this cookbook that they can enjoy even when not on the diet. Since many of the dishes are crisp on the outside, Fagone uses low carb ingredients such as crushed pork rinds to produce the crispness. Anyone on a special diet expects that they may have to shop for special ingredients to create the dishes they want to eat, so even though many of the dishes call for items that may not be in the house already, most are easily obtained from any mainstream grocery store.

All told, this cookbook is a winner.

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

I think air fryers are one of the handiest items in my kitchen after the slow cooker. I have one from the lower price range and am still amazed how well it works considering it was relatively inexpensive.
This cookbook is perfect if you are counting calories, need gluten free and/or low carb recipes. There is also a handy vegetarian section if meat isnt your thing. I was shown a few things I didnt realise could be made in an air fryer. The recipes are clear and easy to follow. One of my favourite recipes was the pecan streusel coffee cake. Delicious with a cuppa! I dont use erythritol and replaced it with date sugar.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a free copy of this book in return for an honest review.

The "I Love My Air Fryer" Low-Carb Recipe Book: From Carne Asada with Salsa Verde to Key Lime Cheesecake, 175 Easy and Delicious Low-Carb Recipes ("I Love My" Series) is a great addition to the series. Many of the recipes have a limited number of ingredients, which is not a bad thing in my estimation. The instructions are easy to follow, and the photos are enticing and beautiful. However, I wish there were more of them. There is great information provided on low carb as well as the use of the air fryer, making this a good cookbook for beginners and those more advanced. Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book.

This book had a variety of recipes. The few I tried were pretty easy to put together and they were delicious. Both of my kids and picky husband enjoyed them.
