Welcome to AirFryerGourmet.com!

Welcome to AirFryerGourmet.com! For those who want great-tasting meals quickly without a lot of fluff. I would say that neither Luke nor I have amazing kitchen skills. I feel confident enough when tackling basic recipes but when I read words like “rue” and “bechamel” I run in the other direction. If being in the kitchen…

Welcome to AirFryerGourmet.com! For those who want great-tasting meals quickly without a lot of fluff.

I would say that neither Luke nor I have amazing kitchen skills. I feel confident enough when tackling basic recipes but when I read words like “rue” and “bechamel” I run in the other direction. If being in the kitchen sometimes feels like an obligation and less of culinary exploration, I get that. Sometimes, you don’t have the time, energy, or motivation to dirty every dish for a complicated and expensive meal. That is where the Air Fryer (and hopefully our blog!) comes in and makes cooking fun again.

Our blog is designed for folks for are comfortable pressing buttons on a microwave but want a little elevation. We use simple ingredients and simple tools (Luke loves his fry chopper!) and dress it up with a little magic brought by the Air Fryer and lots of dipping sauce.

Why do I like the Air Fryer?

I love the Air Fryer because there is no pre-heat time and regardless of the crazy creations that Luke throws in those baskets, the even cooking and the crispiness are always there. It is fun and clean-up is so fast. Our go-to model is the Ninja Foodi dual basket but our recipes work with all models.

Why does Luke like the Air Fryer? (Even if he is lying to himself a bit!)

Luke claims that the convenience of our air fryer makes us eat more vegetables and gives us healthier alternatives. He also claims that it saves big on the grocery bill. While we mainly focus on perfecting our Air Fryer Fries Recipe, other veggies like Air Fryer Zucchini and brussels-sprouts do cook well too I guess.

Join us as we extoll the endless Air Fryer virtues!

We have had so much fun on our Air Fryer journey and want to share our simple ways to take boring weeknight meals to crunchy goodness with a little pizzazz.

And other adventures too!

We also dabble in other creations that you can make in a simple kitchen as well as some food history.

How our blog can be useful to you?

Well, we hope that you feel empowered to try our recipes and tell us of your air frying successes (and failures!- we have had many too, don’t worry. I still am on a mission to get Air Fryer cookies to a non-goopy state but so far, no luck.)

We provide tips and tricks (Luke loves his technique for crispier pizza crust!) and our experiences trying out new ideas, plus great photos!

Wait, why Air Fryer Gourmet???

We believe with a few ingredients and tools, anyone can make gourmet, it is all about perspective.

Happy air frying!

Sincerely,

L + A
