The Air Fryer Bucket List

I created the bucket list after years of using the air fryer and realising that there are some air fryer recipes that are 100% must make to appreciate how amazing the air fryer is.

That there is more to the air fryer than just cooking air fryer fries and that there are some magical air fryer recipes that you will want to make time and time again.

I put my 30 must make air fryer recipes into an ebook and you can download it here.

I then recommend you try a new air fryer recipe (from the bucket list) every 3 days and then use it as a way to expand on your air fryer knowledge.

Plus, as well as our free newsletter, we also have a free air fryer mini course. It is ideal for air fryer beginners or those that want to get more confident with their air fryer. The free course runs for 5 days with a new lesson delivered each day to your inbox.
