I have been considering purchasing an air fryer, but I was not sure if the investment was worth it and what I could make with it. The cookbook starts off with information on how to use an air fryer, the different kinds, and how to care for it, which is helpful as I mentioned I have been considering getting one. The cookbook then includes 100 recipes for breakfast, snacks, main courses, sides, and desserts. Since I am a vegetarian, I am happy that there are many recipes that are vegetarian and there is even a dedicated chapter for vegetarian main courses. There are also plenty of recipes with meat as well as a chapter on main courses with meat and seafood.
I love the layout of the cookbook, and the recipes are easy to follow. However, one of my main problems is that there are not enough photos of the recipes. At most one-third of the recipes have a photo, and it would be helpful to see photos for all the recipes as some I have never heard of before like the Gougêres, the Twice-Cooked Tostones, and the Gulab Jamun or I am curious how they would like after being air-fried like the Cauliflower Steaks, the Kale and Mushroom Empanadas, and the Hush Puppies.
Overall, this is a great cookbook if you are looking for new and exciting recipes to make in an air fryer, but there are not enough photos of the recipes.

Epic Air Fryer Cookbook by Emily Paster is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in mid-November.
Amid very bright color photographs highlighted by salmon pink and mint blocks, Paster excites with the many possibilities of air fryers (particularly for snacks) and the ability to multitask with something in the fryer and on a stove’s range. My favorite recipes include 2-ingredient cream biscuits, chorizo scotch eggs, buttermilk fried chicken and waffles, Argentinian beef empanadas, Natchitoches meat pies, Low Country hush puppies, and churros with chocolate dipping sauce.

So a month ago my oven broke down and because of that the air fryer was finally dragged out of the back of the cupboard and we have been experimenting with various dishes to see what we can and can’t cook in there. Apart from potato or bettered products were haven’t had much luck so this book is a God send. So now I have a list of new dishes to try which sounds amazing and also have learned that I should be using some oil in my fryer not cooking everything completely dry which may be why I have not been successful so far so thank you so much to this book.
I've been using my air fryer for awhile now and I absolutely love it. I wanted to check this out to see what else I could cook in it since I tend to do just the same handful of things. I was really surprised on what I can cook in there now after looking through this book. There are several that I can't wait to try but my one and only issue is I wish there were more pictures. For me, I'm a visual person and some of the recipes I would've loved to see what it looks like before I attempt it.
Great information on how to get the most use of your air fryer. I’d try about half of these recipes.
Originally published on my blog Nonstop Reader.
Epic Air Fryer Cookbook is a tutorial and recipe collection aimed at using air frying written and curated by Emily Paster. Due out 10th Dec 2019 from Quarto on their Harvard Common Press imprint, it's 176 pages and will be available in paperback format.
The book follows a logical format with good contrast on the pages and a readable typeset. The photography is clear and easy to follow. I would estimate roughly half of the recipes are pictured. The introduction and background (~8% of the page content) are followed by the recipes which are grouped by type into chapters: breakfast/brunch, snacks/appetizers, vegetarian mains, meat based mains separated by protein type, veggies and sides, desserts.
The recipes have the ingredients listed bullet style in a sidebar. Measurements are given in US standard with metric measures in parentheses. Special tools and ingredients are also listed, along with yields and cooking directions. The ingredients are all easily sourced at any moderately well stocked grocery store. Yields are given in servings; serving sizes and nutritional info are not given. There is a cross referenced index including ingredients given in the back of the book.
This is an appealing, well written cookbook guide with a generous selection of wide ranging tastes from world cuisine. The recipes aren't difficult. The ingredients aren't difficult to source or 'bizarre' and they really will appeal to a family aesthetic. I like the humor and fun of this one. The author has an inviting and fun style of writing without being cutesy or unnecessarily wordy.
Five stars.

This book is amazing, full of fabulous ideas and recipes I’d never considered before and definitely not in an air fryer, well presented and formatted, bright, colourful and clear instructions. This book is appealing to the eye, mind and mouth (drool). Fabulous cook book, highly recommended to all air fryer owners
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

With a nice thorough introduction, this book sets up what we'll see in this book. To be honest, I didn't actually make any of the recipes yet but the instructions seemed clear and there were great tips, like using your sense of smell to tell when food was done. Pictures were clear and there were plenty of recipes that had five or fewer ingredients as well as more complicated ones.
I wish there had been page numbers on my ARC because the Index pages don't line up to the ebook pages but I didn't count my rating down because of that.

I love my air fryer. I fry perogies, fries and vegetables. I had no idea how much I was missing with that the air fryer has the potential to do (I need to check mine to see if I can buy the extra pieces).
I found myself drooling at so many of these recipes and how easy quote a few of them are. I love how crispy and delicious things are when I cook them in the air fryer. I think it’s so great to ditch the oil without sacrificing the flares and the crisp.
These recipes are (for the most part) all recipes I would serve to my family.

Such a great book, I've had an airfryer for a while now and it is my most used item in the kitchen but I had no idea just how much I could be making in it!
I like there is a section on choosing an air fryer and using your air fryer. Some very handy tips.
Some of my favourite recipes here were
Apple fritters
Fried Shrimp with sweet chili dip
and the Parmesan Chicken
I made the chocolate chip pan cookie sundae last night and it was delicious! I'll definitely be trying out lots of other recipes from this book.
Who knew you could make these recipes in an air fryer!?
