It’s even cheaper on Kindle at £7.99. This is cheaper than John Lewis (£20) but price matched with WH Smith (£10). The Book, written by Clare Andrews, promises over 80 recipes with photos of meals that are “so much more than chips.”

Alternatively, the highly reviewed cookwise 9l double fryer is down to £119.99.
Meanwhile, the Ultimate Air Fryer Cookbook currently has a rating of 4.3 out of 2,041 reviews. One happy reader said: “After watching the TV show on C5 about air fryers I thought I might buy the book. There are some interesting recipes and some really good ones. I’ve only tried a few. I was disappointed that there no recipes for ordinary things like making Yorkshire Puddings etc. One tip though. Don’t use white potatoes for Loaded Potato Skins. The skin breaks easily. All in all a very good cookbook. Easy to follow.”
Another said: “Excellent recipes and budget friendly. Great variety and great tips.” A third remarked: “Excellent value. Bought in used condition and there was only a small dent on the book cover otherwise it was like new. Lots of good ideas for a beginner like myself and most useful are the temperature and cooking times for meat. Would definitely buy from this seller again.”
One less satisfied shopper wrote: “I bought this book because I had seen the author on TV and found her information interesting and useful. This book is good with some useful recipes in a modern style. But it is not the ‘ultimate’ book so it only gets 3 stars. Had it had a different title it would have scored better. I was hoping for more depth.” Another said: “Not quite what we expected. The recipes are clear and easy to follow but we were hoping for more main meals; there are too many quick snack recipes for us. But we’ve found a couple of favorite main meal recipes.”
The book is written by Poppy O’Toole, a professional chef who became a viral TikTok sensation. Inside, you’ll find 100 recipes for your deep fryer, ranging from the perfect baked potato to delicious chicken wings to veggie corned beef ribs. It has 4.6 out of 1,747 reviews.
You can get the Ultimate Air Fryer Cookbook for £10 on Amazon or John Lewis (£20) and WH Smith (£10).
