Author: Clare Andrews

Keen home cook Clare Andrews was gifted an air fryer early in the lockdown of 2020. Unsure of what to make (other than chips!), Clare started exploring the possibilities of her air fryer and sharing her quick and delicious recipes on Instagram, soon amassing a dedicated following looking to share her expertise. Following the success of her Sunday Times #1 best seller, The Ultimate Air Fryer Cookbook, she turned to another low-energy tool in the kitchen: the slow cooker, which allows you to make delicious, budget-friendly meals by simply adding the ingredients to the machine and letting it work its magic. Clare Andrews won the New to Self-Employment Award at the 2023 IPSE Freelancer Awards, and regularly contributes to BBC Radio, national newspapers, magazines and websites. If you have been looking for a way to get more out of those kitchen gadgets that have been hiding away in the back of the cupboard, or if like me you have been gifted an air fryer or slow cooker and you aren’t too sure what to do with them then you have landed in the right place. Clare absolutely adores creating fresh new recipes and being able to show you how you can make amazing food in your air fryer and slow cooker. Both of these incredible kitchen gadgets have been under played and have a lot more to offer than it may first seem.
