Airfryer recipe book recommendations?

7 replies

Thisisthedawningoftheageofaquarius · 04/01/2025 18:17

ive been using my ninja air fryer nearly every day since I got it; we find it fantastic but I’d love to try some new recipes.
I’ve been looking at ‘the complete air fryer cookbook’ (milner) and the bored of lunch - air fryer cookbook; and can’t decide between them. If anyone has feedback on these (or a good alternative!) please let me know!

It is just a mini oven - you don't need a specific air fryer cookbook.

I have both those books and prefer the Bored of Lunch. The recipes are really good and simple to follow, eg some fab Chinese style dishes that taste really authentic. The Milner book is also good but I use it more to reference timings etc.

As already said, it's just a small, fast, fan oven.
I was given the "Bored" book - not impressed.

How to cook a burger !!! Not a recipe, just how to AF a shop-bought one.

Look up Empowered Cooks on YouTube

I received a much wanted AF from my partner for Christmas and have used it every day!
You don’t need a recipe book. Look online. I search “whatever I have to cook” plus “air fryer”.
Loads of ideas.
What I have found is, if you want it crispy, no liner. If you want it juicy, use a liner.
Taming twins has some great ideas if you’re looking for inspiration. Even my mega fussy Dad loved the Greek chicken with added mini potatoes:-)

I agree about just using standard recipes. I have a gas oven and use the Ninja mostly for reheating batch cooked meals from the freezer. But sometimes, I'll use it for something that doesn't justify heating up the oven. Jacket potatoes, for example or an apple crumble. I'll cook the same way I would in the oven: (potatoes microwaved 15-20 mins and then on air fry for 20 mins or more (180deg). Crumble on bake at 170 for twenty mins or so. Generally, air fry at a slightly lower temperature for less time.

I have a feel for it now, but I would start making some notes on what works and sort suitable containers. I use Pyrex a lot because I have them already for making and freezing lasagnes etc.
