101 delicious, tried-and-tested recipes to help you get the most out of your air-fryer.
An air-fryer is the latest kitchen must-have! This niffy, counter-top appliance is similar to an oven, as it bakes and roasts, but the key difference is its heating elements are located at the top and are enhanced by a large, powerful fan. The result is food that's crisp and delicious in no time and, most notably, it makes the perfect alternative to a deep-fat fryer for anyone adopting a healthier lifestyle. But air fryers offer plenty of other benefits too: they require practically no heat up time, cook food fast and evenly, can be used away from home (making them popular for camping trips and staycations), plus clean-up is easy too. Nutritionist Jenny Tschiesche has developed 101 tried-and-tested recipes to help you get the very best out of your air-fryer. Her appealing ideas take their inspiration from all styles of world cuisine, and there is something here to suit every dietary need and occasion, from snacks and sides to quick to easy complete meals and sweet treats.

CELEBRATE beans, lentils and peas in all their glory with this delicious new book.

A MODERN spin on cooking with pulses and how they can be incorporated into EVERYDAY MEALS.

Affordable, sustainable, good for gut and overall health, good for the environment, a solution to eating less meat, packed with protein and fibre – pulses are the future of home cooking.

Health practitioners advise us to eat more fibre, environmentalists tell us to eat less meat and in Mediterranean Europe – a region that is widely considered to have the holy grail of healthy cuisines – eating pulses is a daily way of life. Zoe, which is a leading provider of science-led health research headed up by Professor Tim Spector, is constantly recommending that we eat more beans. It shares lots of pulse-based recipes on its Instagram channel and has described beans as 'magical food'.

Covering dried, canned and jarred pulses, and including recipes featuring meat, poultry and fish, this book demonstrates how easy it is to cook with pulses through 75 delicious recipes as well as highlighting their nutritional benefits. Pulses can be deeply comforting, light and delicate, crisp and crunchy or soft and luxurious. Knowing how to cook with them is key. Every recipe in this book will transform a humble bean or lentil into something aspirational and appealing.
