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.

This inescapably controversial study envisions, defines, and theorizes an area that Laura Wright calls vegan studies. We have an abundance of texts on vegans and veganism including works of advocacy, literary and popular fiction, film and television, and cookbooks, yet until now, there has been no study that examines the social and cultural discourses shaping our perceptions of veganism as an identity category and social practice. Ranging widely across contemporary American society and culture, Wright unpacks the loaded category of vegan identity. She examines the mainstream discourse surrounding and connecting animal rights to (or omitting animal rights from) veganism. Her specific focus is on the construction and depiction of the vegan body-both male and female-as a contested site manifest in contemporary works of literature, popular cultural representations, advertising, and new media. At the same time, Wright looks at critical animal studies, human-animal studies, posthumanism, and ecofeminism as theoretical frameworks that inform vegan studies (even as they differ from it). The vegan body, says Wright, threatens the status quo in terms of what we eat, wear, and purchase-and also in how vegans choose not to participate in many aspects of the mechanisms undergirding mainstream culture. These threats are acutely felt in light of post-9/11 anxieties over American strength and virility. A discourse has emerged that seeks, among other things, to bully veganism out of existence as it is poised to alter the dominant cultural mindset or, conversely, to constitute the vegan body as an idealized paragon of health, beauty, and strength. What better serves veganism is exemplified by Wright's study: openness, debate, inquiry, and analysis.
