Air Fryer Prawns Pil Pil Pasta
I'm so excited to share with you a third recipe from my brand new book, The Ultimate Air Fryer Cookbook: 15 MINUITE FEASTS! My family always orders prawns pil pil whenever we visit Spain. It never disappoints. Over the years, we’ve tasted countless variations, each restaurant adding its own twist, some with more garlic, others with a fiery kick, and occasionally a touch of smoked paprika or even a splash of sherry. I’ve created a dish inspired by all those memorable meals. It’s our holiday favourite, reimagined in the air fryer, quick and perfect for a cosy night in.

Air Fryer Sausage Stew
This is a delicious warming dish, perfect for a winter's day. It’s like a hug in a bowl! I love sausages – they are reasonable priced, versatile and full of flavour. I use pork sausages for this dish, but you can, of course, use chicken or even beef sausages.

Slow Cooker Sweet Potato & Butternut Squash Curry
You can find this slow cooker sweet potato, butternut squash and spinach curry recipe on page 73 of The Ultimate Slow Cooker Cookbook. And this is such a perfect meat free recipe that the whole family will enjoy. But all you need to do is pop your ingredients into the slow cooker and let the flavours do all the hard work for you! Then serve your slow cooker potato curry with basmati rice and tasty naan bread to soak up the incredible spicy sauce. But this is such a delicious, warming curry for the colder months. So the dish is packed with fragrant turmeric, cumin and garam masala for a punch of flavour. Not only is it simple and tasty but it is healthy too!

Slow Cooker Veggie Lancashire Hot Pot
So you can find this Veggie Lancashire Hot Pot recipe on page 80 of The Ultimate Slow Cooker Cookbook. Even though this dish is meat free, this slow cooker hot pot recipe still has that delicious slow-cooked flavour we all know and love. The Worcestershire sauce just gives it that little added kick. But if you’re vegetarian or vegan, Henderson’s Relish is a perfect alternative. But you will definitely want some crusty bread to soak up all the flavours on your plate, too. I guarantee you won’t want to let any go to waste.

Air Fryer Stuffed Aubergine
This air fryer stuffed aubergine is a colourful and healthy dish, and tastes like Summer! The rich, creamy texture of the aubergine pairs beautifully with the vibrant and slightly spicy vegetable filling. The sweetness of the apricots contrasts with the savoury elements, while the pomegranate seeds add a burst of freshness and a delightful crunch. Finished with a drizzle of saffron yoghurt sauce, this dish is a feast for both the eyes and the palate.
