The fast and easy ways for preparing healthy foods
Author Barbara Bennett is well established as both a chef and a healthy eating coach, and is this excellent ‘gift package’ book she offers tutelage and shared recipes prepared with Air Fryer, Sous Vide (‘Sous Vide cooking is a method similar to poaching food. Sous Vide cooking serves the same function as the traditional way of cooking’), and Instant Pot methods. As she states in her introduction, ‘I wrote this book to help you enjoy your daily meals while remaining active in our fast-paced world. No matter if you’re a solo-eater, or if you cook for your family or friends – you’ll always find dozens of recipes to satisfy everyone…Don’t be afraid of experimenting, and forget about being a perfect cook. It’s all about fun at the end of the day, isn’t it?’
With that accessible and user friendly approach, Barbara opens her excellent cookbook with sections on Beef and Lamb, Fish and Shell fish, Pork, Poultry, Vegetables and fruits, Vegan, Stocks Sauces Broths and Spice Rubs, Cocktails and Infusions, and Desserts in the three modes of cooking – Sous Vide, Air Fryer, and Instant Pot. Each recipe is well presented with prep time, cooking time, ingredients, and easy to follow instructions.
Read this book once and likely you’ll become committed to these easy and secure styles of cooking. This is a very positive additive to the ‘let’s cook at home – creatively’ movement. Recommended.
