This is a large 7x10" glossy paperback.  288 pages with full-color glossy photos.


Air-frying food is an innovative method of cooking that is incredibly healthy because although it produces crispy and tasty results, it uses very little oil. Enjoy the taste and textures of fried foods without the calories! And although they are called air fryers, they also roast and bake, making them an ingenious and indispensable kitchen appliance.

Camilla brings her extensive recipe development skills to this cookbook and has created recipes exclusively designed and guaranteed to perform in an air fryer. There are recipes for every meal of the day and she hasn't forgotten to devote an entire chapter to all-time fried favorites.

Breakfast and Brunch

Appetizers and Snacks

*Macaroni and Cheese Bites, Fried Onion Dip, Light-As-Air-Fried Parmesan Puffs, Bacon-Wrapped Dates, Fried Dill Pickle Bites, No-Kettle Potato Chips

Entrees

*Walnut and Rosemary Fried Chicken Breasts, Beef Empanadas, Fried Oysters, Teriyaki-Glazed Salmon, Beer Batter Shrimp, Italian Sausage and Peppers

Vegetables and Sides

*Rustic Home Fries, Rosemary Parsnip Fries, Crispy Tuscan Artichokes, Fried Green Tomato Sliders, Fried Chickpea Polenta, Zucchini Feta Fritters

Desserts

Camilla also offers up expert advice on an air fryer pantry list, what to look for when buying an air fryer and best practices and guidelines for success making this the definitive cookbook for air frying.

Between this publication and Camilla's 5-Ingredient Air Fryer Recipes I'll be BUSY in the kitchen.  Many thanks to Robert Rose Publishing!

I am in AIR FRYER HEAVEN- Thanks to this New Cookbook!

Hi gang-

The publisher at Robert Rose follows this blog.  He saw that I'm hooked on air-frying, so he sent me this cookbook.

With easy recipes with only 5 ingredients, it gives me the confidence to experiment...  with fantastic results!

This is a glossy 288-page publication measuring 7x10.  Oodles of recipes and loaded with full-color photos.

It also includes some Gluten-Free and Vegan recipes.

This recipe, in particular, is a new favorite in the Manzo Household!


Life is filled with countless little pleasures - crispy, crunchy fried food is one of them.

Thanks to the invention of the home air fryer, which relies on hot air rather than hot oil to "fry" foods, you need not wait for weekend splurges or special occasions to savor this simple delight. You can enjoy fried foods anytime, with a fraction of the fat and calories and none of the messy cleanup left in the wake of traditional oil-fried foods.

But why stop there? What if your favorite fried foods (and so many more) could be made with a small number of familiar ingredients, minimal preparation and little time? If that sounds too good to be true, think again, because such recipes are yours for the making in 5-Ingredient Air Fryer Recipes.

All of the recipes in this collection require no more than five ingredients (excluding salt, pepper, water and cooking spray), and most can be fully prepared in just 15 to 20 minutes. Each recipe is unique, designed exclusively for the air fryer and downright delectable. The results are every bit as irresistible as higher-fat options - perhaps even more so. Moreover, each dish is delicious proof that a recipe needn't rely on expensive, hard-to-find ingredients and complicated steps to be excellent.

Whether you are a novice or a well-seasoned air-fry cook, you will find recipe after recipe that delivers impressive results, time and again. This collection will inspire you to head to the kitchen to let the air-frying fun begin. The recipes will carry you through every type of occasion, from an impromptu party with friends to quick meals before and after work, as well as through every season of the year.

750 Best Appetizers: From Dips and Salsas to Spreads and Shooters

I was tickled to receive this cookbook from the publisher the other day!  It's a large 576 pages.  Loaded with recipes and full-color photos.

As Dom and I entertain often, I'll be using this publication for my party menus. I've always been one to make our food prior to our guests arriving, thus being able to join in the fun.

This book is PERFECT for our lifestyle!


The quintessential book of appetizers for any occasion.

There are more than 750 recipes to choose from because we’ve tried to make sure you have a selection to suit every possible occasion — from a dress-down backyard barbecue to the most elegant sit-down dinner. We’ve also considered the need to satisfy a variety of dietary preferences, from strictest vegans to wide-ranging omnivores. And since we know you’re probably doing lots of things at once, many recipes can be prepared ahead of time or made in your slow cooker while you’re busy with something else.

The book is structured to cover a broad range of options. There are 16 chapters built around specific types of dishes, such as Dips and Spreads, or specific ingredients, such as Fish and Seafood or Cheese. We’ve also categorized by presentation, since it’s an integral component to appetizers, so you’ll find chapters like Wraps and Rolls.

A tray of appetizers always seems celebratory, and there is nothing like home-cooked food to make people feel welcome. Use this book to create hors-d'oeuvres that will delight your family and friends — then relax and enjoy the party yourself.


With so many recipes to choose from, home cooks have got the basis to get any gathering off to a lively start:

*Easy tahini dip, tuna tapenade, roasted beet and goat cheese spread
*Feta-spiked watermelon salsa with chili, apple salsa, Bloody Mary salsa
*Watercress gazpacho, broccoli pesto shooter, shrimp bisque, cumin mint cooler
*Pepper-wrapped chorizo, duck confit quesadilla, cannoli, beef sushi
*Pancetta and potato bundles, buckwheat blini, spinach and artichoke tarts
*Uptown croque monsieur, pinwheel party sandwiches, salmon sliders
*Spicy sizzling shrimp, smoked salmon and avocado tartare, beer-battered oysters.

Then she discovered freezer meals. Immediately, she had home-cooked, easy and delicious food at her fingertips and more time to spend with loved ones.

In Seriously Good Freezer Meals, Karrie shares 150 recipes photos that will change the way you think about freezer cooking. You won't find your mother or grandmother's freezer meals here (except lasagna, of course). Her recipes include Morning Energy Bars, Empanada Hand Pies, Coconut Cashew Basil Curry Soup, Smoky Grilled Louisiana Turkey Legs, and Layered Chocolate Mousse Cake with tons of vegetarian, gluten-free and vegan options, too. Plus, she adds a bulk-batch chart for ease in making large quantities of each freezer-meal recipe.

Karrie gives you all the tools you need to become a freezer-meal genius: information on shopping, cooking, freezing, thawing and everything in between. The book includes beginner, intermediate and advanced meal plan programs to guide you in cooking 7 to 50 meals in a day. You read that right: 50 meals in a day. No more excuses: it's time to start cooking delicious meals that will have you feeling anything but left out in the cold!

100 Classic Gluten-Free Comfort Food Recipes

I was tickled when the publisher sent me this cookbook!  We have several friends who don't do Gluten.

Finally, I can entertain them in my home. You guys know how I love to cook!


These recipes, are indeed, "Comfort Food".

This is a slick 224-page cookbook, loaded with full-color photographs.  (As is every publication from #RobertRosePublishing.)

Donna Washburn and Heather Butt are bestselling authors of books that have sold 275,000 copies. Both are home economists and are acknowledged as experts in gluten-free cooking.

An all-new collection of comfort food classics made gluten-free.

Washburn and Butt published their first gluten-free cookbook nearly 20 years ago and at the time, they were at the forefront in promoting and advocating a gluten-free lifestyle. This brand-new collection of gluten-free recipes evokes that wonderful feeling of comfort foods -- soul-satisfying foods that simply taste better and are completely gluten-free.

These recipes include those from childhood as well as modern interpretations of what spells comfort food today without the gluten. Oven Fried Chicken, Scalloped Potatoes or Chicken Pot Pie still tastes good. In fact, no one would ever guess that this stupendous Spaghetti and Meatballs or Tuna Noodle Casserole was gluten-free.

Since soup is certainly one of the things that first springs to mind, Donna and Heather have created sumptuous, soothing gluten-free versions of classic standbys like New England Clam Chowder and Chicken Noodle Soup that warms a cold winter evening.

These wonderful recipes can be enjoyed by anyone - whether on a gluten-free lifestyle or not. Several mouth-watering chapters are dedicated to baked goods like muffins, biscuits, cookies, cakes, and pies. There's nothing like pulling freshly baked Shortbread Cookies or Apple Crumble Pie fresh from the oven, and these recipes are perfect for that.

Tasty and innovative ideas for everything from hearty entrees and sides to satisfying family meals and mouth-watering desserts are all here.
**********************************************************
We're looking forward to having a "Gluten-Free" dinner party! 

Many thanks to #RobertRose    I LOVE this new publication!  We're looking forward to this, now that the weather is FINALLY starting to cool down here:  FISH AND CHIPS!

The Edgy Veg: 138 Carnivore-Approved Vegan Recipes


The publisher of this cookbook knows of Dom's struggle with cancer and neuropathy.

He's also aware that in recent years, I've been on a healthy eating kick.  He was kind enough to send me this cookbook.  Many thanks, Martine!

Vegan Food You Actually Want to Eat

Who says you have to give up your insatiable need for comfort food just because you want to eat better for yourself, animals and the planet? Enter: The Edgy Veg, the YouTube sensation (with over 250,000+ subscribers and counting) created by the hilarious Candice Hutchings and her husband James Aita who are on a journey to revolutionize vegan food as we know it.

Tired of a traditional plant-based diet that just felt frankly #sad, Candice started veganizing childhood cravings, fast food faves and food-nerd obsessions. Think more UnOrthodox Lox and Cream Cheese Bagels, Cobb Your Enthusiasm Salad, Buffalo Cauliflower Wings 7 Ways, Easy Cheesy Fondue, Chick Fillet Deluxe and Thank You Very Matcha Ice Cream than zucchini noodles, hummus, smoothie bowls and #cleaneating (fear not, there is a token kale salad.) No food is off limits and everything in the book has received their signature carnivore stamp of approval.

With 138 recipes that take vegan cooking to the next level, tips and tricks for eating like an Edgy Veg, and more dad jokes than you can count, say hello to a vegan cookbook you -- and your tastebuds -- can feel good about. It's time to put down that spiralizer and get ready to have your cake, burger and fries, and eat them too!

This is a hardcover 288-page beauty.  Loaded with full-color photos.  It's a very amusing read, as well!  It's a heavy 2 + pounds, measuring about 8x10.

They thought that you readers would find this of interest.  I sure do!

What technique have restaurants been using for more than 30 years to get perfectly cooked food?

Entertaining becomes effortless and your guests will be blown away by the sublime textures and flavors. You'll be wondering if you've really been tasting food for your whole life.

Critically acclaimed chef Chris McDonald has years of experience with using sous vide devices. He presents all his tips and techniques for preparing and cooking a variety of types of meat, poultry, fish, seafood, vegetables, eggs and desserts. More than 175 recipes highlight his experiences cooking in different parts of the world, such as Ribeye Steak with Chimichurri Sauce, Venison Loin with Savoy Cabbage and Chestnuts, Georgian Pork Shoulder Roast with Pomegranate Glaze, Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Drunken Duck Ramen with Sous Vide Egg, Aloo Gobi, and Crème Brûlée. He also shares his wealth of knowledge about global ingredients, DIY butchery, food substitutions, selecting cuts of meat and types of fish, and much more. This is the book for anyone looking to cook sous vide, from the most basic beginner to the experienced home cook.
