Budget Air-Fryer Cookbook: Money-saving meals for all occasions by Jenny Tschiesche

Following Jenny Tschieshe’s Sunday Times bestselling Air-Fryer Cookbook, this new book offers nutritious and budget-friendly recipes. Each recipe aims to reduce the amount of energy used to cook food by using the air fryer instead of the oven. Using an air fryer cost from a third to half less than using an electric oven, so the savings could make a big dent in your bills if you swap to this nifty gadget. The popularity of air fryers looks set to last, and why not with its amazing list of benefits not just to the household budget, but for the time-poor cook too. Using an air fryer drastically cuts down on cooking times, making these recipes fantastic for anyone cooking in a hurry too.

The recipes in this invaluable book cater for a wide range of tastes and needs, exploring ideas for using cans, jars, and cartons, cooking from frozen, using up leftovers, using cheaper cuts of meat, grains and legumes, vegetable-based dishes, and much more. Jenny Tschieshe’s first book taught us that an air fryer doesn’t just have to be for beige food, but can be used for all manner of cooking from roast chicken to perfect sweet bakes. Now it’s time to take things a step further by focussing on making the most of your air fryer in terms of flavour as well as keeping your energy and food costs as low as possible. (more…)

Win Son Presents A Taiwanese American Cookbook by Josh Ku, Trigg Brown, and Cathy Erway.

Josh Ku, born in Queens to parents from southern Taiwan, and Trigg Brown, a native Virginian whose mentor was a Taiwanese-American chef, forged a friendship over food—specifically, excellent tsang ying tou, or “flies’ head,” a dish of chopped budding chives kissed with pork fat. Their obsession with Taiwanese food and culture propelled them to open Win Son together in 2016. The East Williamsburg restaurant quickly established itself as a destination and often incurs long waits for its vibrant and flavourful Taiwanese-American cuisine.

Ku and Brown have teamed up with Cathy Erway, Taiwanese food expert and celebrated writer, to create this book which explores and celebrates the cuisine of Taiwan and its ever-simmering pot of creative influences. Told through the eyes, taste buds, travels, and busy lives of Ku, Brown, and Erway, this book brings the cuisine of this misunderstood island nation into the spotlight. With 100 creative, yet accessible recipes, this book will unravel the history of this diaspora cuisine. While featuring classic dishes and well-known favourites, this cookbook also stretches this cuisine’s definition, introducing new dishes with brazen twists that are fun, flavourful, and decidedly American-born in style.  (more…)
