Every Day Easy Air Fryer: 100 Recipes Bursting with Flavor

by Urvashi Pitre

Everybody knows how difficult it can be to get a delicious meal on the table night after night, not to mention a healthy one made from real and readily-available ingredients. Enter the air fryer, the must-have, revolutionary kitchen device. As Urvashi Pitre, the best-selling author of Indian Instant Pot Cookbook,  will show you, the air fryer makes home cooking easy. Every one of the recipes in this book can be made in an hour or less, and many are on the table in as little as 30 minutes. You won't find "cream of anything" cans in the ingredient instead you'll start with fresh ingredients—healthful meats and vegetables—and let the air fryer do the hard work. In her signature way, Pitre will walk you through the simple process so you can learn to use your air fryer like an expert in no time. And there is no shortage of flavors—with recipes inspired by authentic Indian, Korean, Mexican cuisines and more, including Poblano Cheese Frittata, Thai Chicken Sate, Chicken Fajitas, Shrimp Scampi, and Chinese Spare Ribs, to name just a few. And because you're using an air fryer, you won't need to cook with loads of oil to get incredibly tasty results. Just like the recipes on the author's popular blog, twosleevers.com, these recipes will always work perfectly and taste great.

Gord and I received an air fryer as a Christmas gift in December. We liked it so much that we bought a second one. Since then, I've been looking for fun things to cook in it.

The content of this book includes an introduction, a few words about the recipes (easy, authentic, fresh foods, etc.), how an air fryer is different from an oven, why air fry, air fryer myths and realities, helpful accessories and troubleshooting.

The recipe sections are:

* Eggs & cheese
* Vegetables
* Chicken/poultry
* Seafood
* Beef, pork & lamb
* Desserts
* Sauces & spice mixes

There were lots of delicious sounding recipes that didn't sound too hard that I would like to try. This cookbook was different than I was expecting as instead of having "American" food, for example, like chicken wings, home fries, pork chops, etc., the recipes were more "ethnic" like African Piri-Piri Chicken Drumsticks, Tandoori Chicken and Indian Mint & Chile Kebabs.

I liked that prep times, cooking times and dietary considerations (grain-free, nut-free, gluten-free, paleo, vegetarian, etc.) were provided. It would have been nice if the nutrition (calories. amount of fat, protein, carbs, etc.) had been listed.

There are full-colour pictures accompanying some of the recipes. I read this book on my iPad and it was formatted well for it.

My in-laws got this for my husband for Christmas, and it's the best air fryer cookbook I've read. It's a fun cookbook to read. Great pictures, and a very geeky approach to the air fryer. So far we've tried two recipes -- the Korean Gochujang Chicken Wings my husband made were *excellent*. The 5 ingredient brownies -- which I discovered were a sugar-instead-of-sugarfree version of her keto brownies -- were more of a souffle. (And I won't make them again.) Tonight I'm trying the sticky sesame chicken legs and have high hopes. Urvashi has a great writing style and a lazy/efficient approach that matches mine.

Another awesome book by Urvashi Pitre. The recipes are easy to follow, the ingredient lists are always short and easy to source, whenever she tells you to buy a spice mix, she ensures that you can use it in more than one of her recipes and even points you to other recipes in which the ingredients are used. The pics are beautiful and all in all even a kid can make the recipes listed in this book. I know because my son is a huge fan of the air fryer and has succeeded in making a variety of dishes from this book.

Buy it, you won't regret it.

I picked this up because I have been trying to figure out ways to use my air fryer more. This cookbook was a little disappointing for me, in that it appears a little too "fancy" of recipes for my family. And a lot of the recipes require random ingredients or things we just don't use. I didn't realize it would focus on Indian type food (although which I love most of my family doesn'). I think a lot of the recipes look great, but not sure they are great for my specific family. I may try a few of the chicken ones, but tmost we probably won't.

Chưa thử món nào nhưng đọc qua thấy có nhiều món đáng thử. Những món trong sách hoàn toàn có thể nấu bằng những hình thức truyền thống ( chiên, xào rán,...) nên vẫn có thể tham khảo công thức để làm theo kiểu của mình. Vì tác giả là người Mexico nên các món ăn hơi hướng Trung Đông nên cũng có nhiều nguyên liệu lạ và khó tìm, nên cân nhắc. Sách cũng cho vài công thức sốt lạ, thú vị, sẽ thử.

Filled with lots of recipes as well as an introduction to using an air fryer, this book gave me the information I needed to feel confident in using my new air fryer. The recipes are a bit spicy for my taste and use ingredients I wouldn't normally have in my pantry, but a lot of them do sound delicious.

This all looked very interesting and I was about to buy an Air Fryer so I could try the fascinating recipes. Pitri included a beautiful assortment of possibilities.
Then I read the drawbacks of air fryers and decided that I did not need one.

Everything I have made has been delicious.

Since I'm new to using an air fryer, this provided a lot of ideas beyond the recipes.

Many great recipes and a variety

I usually love Urvashi Pitre’s cookbooks. She makes keeping keto easy and delicious; however, this cookbook doesn’t provide nutritional information, but it seems to not hew to the usual low-carb limitations: recipes boast all-purpose flour, potatoes, even frozen puff pastry — all big no-no’s on a ketogenic diet!

So, caveat emptor. If you’re new to the air fryer, and you’d like some healthy recipes, Every Day Easy Air Fryer is a five-star cookbook for you. If you’ve been following Pitre for her excellent ketogenic cookery, there’s still something for you, but don’t get your hopes up to0 high.
