I am a homemade cook and love cooking. I make my own instant pot veggie stock from vegetable peelings, love to make slow cooker stews like our slow cooker lamb stew and dumplings and nothing makes me happier than baking some air fryer homemade scones.

Back in 2015 I went totally homemade and embraced the Paleo lifestyle and also completed several rounds of the Whole30.

Something I had never tried before but can never get enough of. Second is Bernard Matthews Mini Kievs a favourite food from childhood and even better cooked in the air fryer. Then third on the last is the mini kievs older brother and that is the wonderful air fryer frozen chicken kievs.
