You Can Fry an Egg in Your Air Fryer
“It doesn’t really fry anything.” How many times have we air-fryer-devotees had to listen to those words?

Make Caramel-Center Lava Cakes With Two Trader Joe's Products
Nigella Lawson’s Molten Chocolate Babycakes set me down the path. In fact, it’s only slightly hyperbolic to say her book, How to Be a Domestic Goddess, made me the food writer I am today.
