Reader Reviews
James Nelson
★★★★★I've tried so many air fryer recipes from blogs, and half of them come out burnt or soggy. This cookbook is a game changer! Every recipe I've made—from the garlic butter shrimp to the cinnamon donuts—has turned out perfect. The instructions are so clear, and the 5-ingredient rule makes it easy to shop and prep. Highly recommended for anyone who loves their air fryer but hates the guesswork.

★★★★★As a working dad, I don't have time to fuss over complicated recipes. This book understands that. The weeknight dinners section is exactly what I needed—quick, tasty, and my kids actually asked for seconds. The meals are simple but never boring. If you're looking for a no-nonsense air fryer cookbook that respects your time, this is it.

★★★★★I like the book a lot; the recipes are practical and the photos are nice (though I'd love more!). The 5-ingredient rule is helpful, but a few recipes really need that 6th ingredient like a sauce to bring everything together. Still, the book has become my go-to for quick meals after work. The meal plan in the back is a nice bonus.

★★★★★This cookbook is decent, but it didn't blow me away. The recipes are solid and easy to follow, but I felt like some of them are pretty similar to what you'd find on any air fryer blog—just with fewer ingredients. Also, I wish there were more vegetarian mains. It's okay, but not a must-have if you already own a few air fryer cookbooks.

★★★★★I bought this after my uncle got me an air fryer for Christmas, and I barely used it before this book. The author really walks you through everything—settings, timing, even what to do if your food isn't crispy. The breakfast chapter is my favorite; I make the egg bites every weekend now. Perfect for a kitchen newbie like me.

★★★★★Finally a cookbook that uses real ingredients I already have in my pantry. Each recipe is quick to assemble, and I love that there aren't any weird speciality items. The chicken thighs and the Brussels sprouts have become regulars in my rotation. I appreciate the clear cook times and temps—this book is very trustworthy.

★★★★★Great little cookbook if you want variety without the effort. I'm a college student with a small air fryer and limited budget, and this has been perfect. The lunch ideas are a lifesaver—I make the loaded baked potato at least twice a week. The troubleshooting section saved my first few batches. Would recommend to friends.

★★★★★This is a helpful cookbook, especially for the price. The recipes are straightforward, and I love that they're all 5 ingredients or less. The only reason it's 4 stars is because I wish there were a few more side dish options. However, the ones included (like the garlic bread and crispy chickpeas) are spot on. Overall, a solid addition to my kitchen shelf.
