We want you to say two words to all the misinformation around dieting, and they aren't 'I can't' or 'it's wrong', but instead, with a big smile on your face and with complete confidence, 'it's fine'. Whether you're a newbie or an air fryer fanatic, enjoy these 75 delicious, inexpensive, healthy dishes guaranteed to save you time, energy, and money! Ingredients Mediterranean is everything people loved about the first book, but with the added va-va-voom of basing it on Jamie's lifelong travels around the Med. With over 125 utterly delicious, easy-to-follow recipes, it's all about making everyday cooking super-exciting, with minimal fuss - all while transporting you to sunnier climes. As a lower energy alternative to a conventional oven, air fryers are a cost-efficient way to make all your favourite dishes and save on your household bill. And, as a low-oil cooking method, they're ideal if you're keeping an eye on your calories, too. This is a huge boon to home cooks who love the flavour and texture of deep-fried foods but hate the fat, calories, mess, and danger that accompany frying foods in a pan of hot oil.

What if we told you that you can eat anything you like and lose weight?Well, you probably not believe us, would you? And if you did believe us, you would ask HOW? Take the herb sauce and add the coriander leaves along with the remaining mint, two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, two tablespoons of pomegranate molasses, one tablespoon of honey and all the lemon juice and red wine vinegar. Cardamom, fennel, cinnamon, turmeric, cumin, chilli, bay leaves and curry powder are all you need to create any recipe in this book. Find inspiration in nine chapters of vibrant, nourishing cooking: Kahvalti (breakfast), Meze & Salata (dishes and salads to share), Ocak & Kizartma (traditional stove-top dishes), Firin (hearty dishes from the oven), Yahni (easy one-pots and slow-cooking), Kebab & Kofte (barbecue dishes and accompaniments), Ekmek & Hamur Isi (breads, doughs, and pastries) and Kek ve Tatlilar (crowd-pleasing sweets). What I thought: I made this dish twice in one week, and if that isn’t a testament to how good it is I don’t know what is! The flavours were just insane – I’d have never thought to add garlic yoghurt to pasta, but now I don’t think I could eat pasta without it! The halloumi and mint were so delicious and I don’t want to eat it any other way from now on. To make this even better, I only needed one pot to make this whole dish, so there was hardly any washing up to do afterwards. Yay! I will be making this again next week (and the week after).Slow-cook the lamb for around 6 hours (or a little more), basting every 2 hours, and always covering the tray tightly with the foil each time you do. Increase the heat to 180 °C/160 °C fan/350 °F/gas mark 4 for the last 30 minutes of cooking time. If you feel like the lamb isn’t crisping up as much as you’d like, remove the foil for the last 20 minutes. For dipping purposes, I also made the Halloumi, Olive and Herb Loaf. I love to bake but I’m not a bread expert and feel more comfortable with sugar than yeast. Meliz’s instructions were clear and easy to follow and even better – the recipe makes two loaves. I got a bit scared when it came to incorporating the filling and need to be more vigorous next time to ensure even filling distribution throughout the loaf. That said, despite my patchy flavour distribution, this tasted amazing! With step-by-step guidance and over 75 recipes to help you on your journey, this book will give you everything you need to build a healthier relationship with food. So let's get started: lose weight eating the food you love and give yourself the power to say #itsfine. Whether you're an air fryer fanatic or brand new to these fabulous time and money-saving kitchen appliances, Bored of Lunch will revolutionise your cooking with the all-new Healthy Air Fryer Cookbook. Meliz Berg is a self-taught cook, recipe developer and food content creator. Due to her Turkish Cypriot heritage, Meliz grew up in a household where her parents combined both traditional Cypriot and multi-cultural London living. Her mother’s influence has been fundamental in her cooking, and Meliz is very passionate about developing the family recipes of her childhood which for years had only been passed down through oral tradition.

What I made: Kızarmış Börek with Mantar and Hellim (fried pastries with mushroom and halloumi filling) When it comes to spice Nadiya's family cooking is never complicated and always delicious. Now Nadiya wants to share with you how to use the 8 readily available spices she uses at home daily to cook her most-loved meals. The same spices that her Mum uses and her Nani used before her!

Meliz's Kitchen is a celebration of the melting-pot of delicious spices and fresh flavours that make a Turkish-Cypriot kitchen. The Pepperpot Diaries is Andi Oliver's long-awaited first cookbook. Showcasing both traditional and new recipes, cherished ingredients and vibrant flavours from across the Caribbean, let Andi Oliver take you on an exploration of identity and heritage as she shows you how to create simple yet sensational dishes that will bring the unbeatable flavours of Caribbean cooking to your table. The story of food captured in this book will take readers on a journey around the melting pot of cultural influences, history and heritage that has uniquely shaped traditional and contemporary Caribbean cuisine. Through her travels in Antigua, Andi shares her deeply personal journey on reconnecting with the food she grew up eating - the flavours and ingredients that run through her heart and soul - and what the future might hold for Caribbean cookery. This book explores who we were, who we are, and where we're going - all through the food we eat and the people we meet along the way.

We asked the same question. After both struggling with our weght and the effects of crash dieting, we knew there had to be a better way to shed the pounds. That's how we developed the #itsfine plan. With a unique approach to portion control and by debunking the many myths around fad diets, it aims to help you free yourself from unhealthy obsessions with dieting and show how you can achieve food freedom whilst sustaining a healthy lifestyle and weight-loss goals. Cut the garlic bulb in half. Drizzle two tablespoons of olive oil in the bottom of a very large, deep roasting tray and add the onions and garlic to the middle of the tray. What I thought:This was such a fun recipe to make! I don’t trust my pastry skills so I used pre-made good quality Yufka (filo) as recommended by Meliz in the ingredients and suppliers section of the book. It was easy to find the big circular sheets of pastry – I got them in Asda! Chopping up all the ingredients for the filling and cutting out the parcels was actually very therapeutic and although I was a bit worried about frying in the hot oil, it was actually fine. You just need a slotted spoon and a plate ready to pile them on when they’re done. You can really taste the parsley in both of these filings so it’s nice and fresh when you bite into the thin and crispy pastry. Inspired by the dishes that Si and Dave loved to eat growing up and that they cook with their families now, this is comfort food at its best. Recipes that are guaranteed to deliver on flavour, even when you're short on time, all made with readily available and affordable ingredients. Real, everyday food to enjoy and share.
