Air Fryer Low Carb Cookbook: 75 Simple Recipes to Support Your Diet and Stay Healthy by Julie Bower, Anna Campbell

TOC where recipes are listed as meals> lots of introduction material about the air fryer and how healthy you can cook with it.

Simple things as using the air fryer,  cooking charts for various foods, i love this myself as most items you get from the garden don't come with a label telling you how to cook them.

Also meats and poultry are listed. Each recipe starts with a  title, medium size color photo,  prep , cook times and servings.

Nutritional information includes calories, fat, carbs and protein.

List of ingredients and you should be able to substitute for your healthier dietary needs: low fat, low sodium, low sugar and fresh vs canned items.

Directions are included.

Can't wait to try bagels, they are one reason I wanted the appliance.

Ends with a conclusion from the author.

A KEEPER for the charts, recipes also.
