A Welsh dad's cookbook has become the 'air fryer bible'

A Welsh dad who started creating his own air-fryer recipes over lockdown has put together his own cookbook that has become an 'air-fryer bible.' David Small, originally from Newport, struggled to find a recipe book for mostly British food with metric measurements, so started to put together his own recipes using his Ninja Foodi.

His recipe book has become so much of a success that it's been referred to as the 'bible' for air fryer users. David, 47, self-published the book on Amazon and celebrated the sale of his 50,000th book at the end of last year - a feat he "never imagined", Manchester Evening News reports.

"My kids rate everything I cook between one and 10, with 10 being the highest," he said. "So everything scoring nine or 10 made it into the book. It was finally ready in January of 2021. I knew there would be demand for the book as it was something that so many UK-based Ninja Foodi Facebook group members kept repeating. I didn't expect to sell anywhere near as many as I did however."
