Hi Zona, I love your recipes for 2 so I either eat them for two meals or cut them in half again for just me. Have you made a recipe book for air fried meals? I just got one and bought two recipe books but only one is for 2. I really like your recipes and would like to get one. Some of these I can adapt to the air fryer like the one today. I'll just cut it in half, reduce the cooking temp by 25% and maybe the time too,I'll have to see. Thanks. Gracie

Hi Gracie, no I'm sorry. I have not dabbled in air fryer recipes but I do love that you know how to adapt recipes for it. That is a great idea!
