Air Fryer Instant Pot Cookbook: 100 Recipes to Cook with Your Air Fryer & Instant Pot Pressure Cooker

 

Air Fryer Instant Pot Cookbook is a tutorial guide and cookbook for the air fryer and electric pressure cooker with recipes developed by Sara Quessenberry, et. al. Released 1st Dec 2020 by Quarto on their Chartwell Books imprint, it's 160 pages and available in hardcover and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links. I've really become enamored of ebooks with interactive formats lately.

A short introduction with tools and supplies and some safety do's and dont's leads directly to the cookbook. The recipes are arranged thematically: breakfasts, appetizers, sides, beef & lamb mains, poultry mains, pork, seafood, vegetable mains, and desserts. There are 100+ recipes, enough to keep even the most obsessed cook going for ages. 

The recipes are given with English (American) measurements and metric equivalents in parentheses (yay!).  The ingredients are listed in a bullet list sidebar format along with special info in the headers including tips and background and serving suggestions.  There are very few (none, really) which require difficult to source ingredients. Nutritional info is not included.  The specific cooking machines (air fryer and/or instant pot) are indicated with a little icon in the header of each recipe. There are numerous vegetarian options

We're definitely going to try more of these. The book is not abundantly photographed (about 25% by my rough count), but the photos which are included are well done and serving suggestions are attractive and appropriate.  Well written book, tasty recipes. I've dinged half a star for the dearth of photographs. For cooks who -need- photographs for serving ideas, this might be problematic. 

Four and a half stars.
