There are some great recipes in this book. They are easy to follow and full of flavor. I really enjoyed the little twists given to what would be a familiar dish. I am really enjoying cooking with my air fryer and this book gave me lots of reasons to use it.

I've been looking for a good air fryer recipe book for years and I've finally found the perfect one! Each recipe has step by step and final result pictures, as well as both metric and imperial systems for measuring. This cookbook is so easy to navigate as it's divided into the following categories: snack & nibbles, sandwiches & wraps, chicken & turkey, beef & pork, fish & shellfish, vegetable sides & main courses, and desserts & sweets. So far I've tried the following recipes: Garlic Bread, Bagel Chips, French Onion Dip, and Garlic Knots. Each recipe was absolutely delightful! My favorite has been the bagel chips with french onion dip. My mom and I made these twice and both times they didn’t make it to the next day. This has quickly become one of my favorite recipe books. I can't wait to try more recipes soon!
I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Simple, easy to follow recipes. Nice variety of recipes with commonly used ingredients. Most home cooks won't have to go out and get things they won't use again. I liked they layout a lot with the combination of text and photos. This is definitely more a book for beginners since the recipes are more basic, every day fare.

Some nice recipes but I needed more vegetable recipes and although they have some, nothing really made me want to pull out my cooking pans.

Thank you Netgalley for the chance to download and review The Look and Cook Air Fryer Bible.

I found this air fryer bible to be useful. If you have other air fryer bibles, you might not need this one. I like how the book is set up and it makes it easy to find a recipe. There are some nice pictures included. The recipes are easy to follow and tasty.

Fantastic cookbook with tons of photos and great recipes!

I really enjoyed all the photos - there usually isn't enough in cookbooks for me. This was a great find! Lots of great tips and recipes, very enjoyable to peruse.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for a temporary, digital ARC in return for my review.

We use our airfyer daily so it's always nice to learn what other things you can make with your airfryer aside from just heating up nuggets or fries. Lots of different recipes to try and a great introduction to those new to the world of air fryers.

While this cookbook wasn’t one of my favorites, I think a lot of people will benefit from and appreciate all of the step-by-step photos. Thanks to NetGalley and Little, Brown and Company for the free copy in exchange for my honest review!

All the recipes you would normally cook for most dinners but adjusted for the air fryer. Perfect for new cooks and places without a oven or cooking for one, small amounts and not having to use a big oven.

The Look and Cook Air Fryer Bible by Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough is a helpful resource, especially for those new to the world of air frying. The book's strength lies in its approachable nature, providing step-by-step photos for every dish to guide even the most novice cooks through the process.

The cookbook covers the basics thoroughly, offering a solid foundation for anyone looking to make the most of their air fryer. The inclusion of 125 recipes caters to a variety of tastes and occasions, ensuring there's something for everyone in this collection.

While the dishes are reliable and undoubtedly tasty, they may not necessarily spark culinary excitement or offer a fresh take on familiar ingredients. This cookbook will, however, be a valuable resource for those who appreciate the visual guidance that the step-by-step photos provide. It's a reliable companion for individuals looking to master the basics of air frying and create delicious meals with ease. (I received an advance reader copy of this book and all opinions are my own.) Overall, "The Look and Cook Air Fryer Bible" is a solid choice for beginners, offering a practical and accessible introduction to the world of air fryer cooking.

Very useful book for first time air fryer owners I found this to be helpful and I have recommended this book to friends .

This was a great new book for me to start learning to use our airfryer. I never knew it could make so many amazing things. This author gave very detailed recipes that were easy to follow and created some wonderful meals for our family. Throughout the book were tons of helpful advice on cooking, utensils and ingredients and more. I love that the author put ingredients in a color that would stand out. We have so many favorites now including Broccoli Cheese Casserole, Peach Dumplings, Sirloin and Potato Dinner and Crunchy Chicken Summer ROlls. You will want to add this book to your most used cookbook collection. I am gifting it to my mom as well. We received this as an ARC but have to add to our cookbook shelf.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review. This wonderful cookbook for the air fryer was written by the same author of “The Instant Pot Bible”. Because of that, I knew that this was going to be great. It certainly did not disappoint. I particularly liked how the book describes the differences between assorted types of air fryers. They make sure to spell out the details of when things need to be turned, and how they need to be cooked. I loved the peach dumplings and pickle fries. Would definitely recommend this cookbook to anyone that uses an air fryer.

I have loved two previous cookbooks by Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, two five-star wonders for the Instant Pot. With this cookbook, the team take on the air fryer. I don’t like this one as much, but I think it’s me, not them. I adore my Instant Pot so much more than the air fryer; in fact, I use the former two or three times a week. The only time I use my air fryer is for bacon.

But Weinstein and Scarbrough come up with ingenious ways to get crispy and quickly cooked meals in the air fryer, so I’m thinking that I’m going to be using my air fryer a lot more. So it’s five stars for this cookbook.

In the interest of full disclosure, I received this book from NetGalley, Voracious, and Little, Brown and Company in exchange for an honest review.

this cookbook was awesome. I have loved using our air fryer for vegetables, but wanted some more ideas for an actual recipe and how to use it more. It was great!

I am always on the lookout for a quick and easy way to put a meal on the table, and if it includes an air fryer I'm in. This cookbook has a little bit of everything from snacks & nibbles, sandwiches and wraps, main dishes, sides, and even desserts. If you are looking for ways to expand your air-fryer game than this book might be right up your alley.
I really liked the step-by-step instructions and photos included in each recipe. They even throw in a few tips and ways you can Raise The Bar by adding a little extra. There were so many innovative ideas to expand the use of your air fryer, often times in ways I had never considered such as cooking a steak, or dressing up your average frozen burrito.
While I loved many of the recipes especially the Stuffed Baked Apples and Blueberry Crisp. Yum! Many of the recipes took a little more effort than I expected for an air fryer meal. Perhaps it is because I have a larger family, and so if I am going to go through all those steps, I would rather make a larger quantity in an oven. But for a smaller family who wants to save on heating the whole house with your oven this cookbook will give you many delicious options.
Thank you NetGalley and Little, Brown and Company for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
