In this economy most people are working two and occasionally three jobs just to make ends meet. Luxuries such as dining out, going on trips, etc. have become rare and difficult to afford. But everyone needs an occasional treat and break from the monotony, something simple such as watching movies with your favorite fried snack. Making snacks at home is an option, that was until recently difficult, time consuming, tiring, and considered unhealthy due to the amount of grease/ oil consumed. Now with the Ninja Air Fryer, many of the deep-fried foods have become easy to make and also healthy due to the low amount of oil being used. Of course a new kitchen gadget requires a proper lesson or guide to learn how to use so the outcomes can be enjoyed to the fullest extent. The Ninja Crispi Air Fryer Cookbook by Kallirroi Virginia does just that. A concise guide spread just around 80 pages, this book introduces novice cooks to the concept of air fryer cooking as an healthier option to make the same fried snacks that would have otherwise used gallons of oil and hours of time. Moreover, air fryers can cook food evenly and provide a crispiness with a fraction of the fat content as very little oil is used in this. I would consider this book to be a true beginners guide to using the air fryer to cook delicious meals, snacks, and everything in between. The first two chapters are dedicated to introducing the concept of air fryer cooking, setting up, etc. with a section dedicated to first time users. The next chapter deals with maintenance and temperature management to get the best results. The rest of the book deals with recipes from cuisines across the world including breakfast foods, soups, entrees, poultry, meat, and an entire section of Italian food. This comprehensive guide provides detailed recipe options that can transform the rare and subsistence cook like me into an expert chef turning out dishes such as blueberry lemon scones, parmesan herb asparagus, air fried pot roast, etc. I am eagerly trying different recipes whenever I get a chance.
