Most fruits and vegetables can be used for preserving, and what better and more satisfying way to use up home-grown or local produce than to puree, pickle, bottle or salt it and consume it throughout the year! There are several different methods of preserving fruits and vegetables and all give delicious results. Jams, jellies, fruit butters and curds, bottled fruits, chutneys, pickles and salted vegetables are all practical and economical ways to preserve seasonal produce. And you don't need a load of kitchen gadgets and equipment to get started: a heavy-based pan, a funnel, a sugar thermometer and a selection of glass storage jars are all you need.

Kathy Hester, bestselling author of The Vegan Slow Cooker and The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook for Your Instant Pot, combines vegan cooking with all the decadence of fried food to create dishes that are healthier to eat and easier to make.

The air fryer’s popularity is due largely to the fact that it uses little to no oil, allowing a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional frying. Not only does Kathy incorporate an oil-free option in every recipe, but many recipes also have gluten-free and soy-free options. With recipes like Avocado Black Bean Chimichanga, Cheesy Hot Sauce Collard Chips, Jalapeño Poppers and Cajun French Fry Po Boy, eating healthy has never been easier or tastier.

Kathy has a combined social media following of 30K and is the author of many vegan cookbooks including The Great Vegan Bean Book, Vegan Slow Cooking, The Easy Vegan Cookbook and The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook for Your Instant Pot.

Vegan Cooking in Your Air Fryer will include 75 recipes, each accompanied by a full-color photograph.
