★★★★★This is a solid, no-nonsense air fryer book. I appreciate that the recipes are tested—they actually come out the way they're supposed to. The salmon was perfect, and the fried chicken was crispy without being greasy. It's not the most glamorous cookbook, but it's practical and I've already used it more than any other cookbook I own. My only complaint is that some recipes use a bit more oil than I expected, but the taste is worth it.

★★★★★I bought this because I was tired of googling 'air fryer chicken' and getting ten different answers. This book gave me one reliable answer, and it worked. I love the chapter on frozen foods—my fries have never been better. The meal plan at the back is also great for beginners. It's a bit wordy in places, but I'm glad I got it. It's the only air fryer cookbook I'll ever need.

★★★★★The recipes are pretty good, and the instructions are clear. I've made the roasted vegetables and the chicken thighs—both were tasty. However, I was hoping for more variety. I feel like I've seen similar recipes on a dozen blogs. Also, some recipes call for ingredients I don't typically have on hand, like smoked paprika or balsamic glaze. It's a decent book, but not as ground-breaking as I expected. It's fine for what it is.

★★★★★I've been using an air fryer for years, and I got this for the 'from the freezer' chapter. The tips are helpful, and the recipes are solid, but I didn't find a lot of new ideas. It's a good beginner book, but if you're already comfortable with your air fryer, you might want something more advanced. The intro chapter is great for newbies, though. I'll probably gift this to a friend who just got one.
