Nathan Anthony Recipe Books

Nathan Anthony is a popular name in the world of home cooking, especially for those looking to simplify meal prep without compromising on flavour. As the author of five cookbooks under the Bored of Lunch brand, Nathan offers a range of recipes suitable for the air fryer and slow cooker. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at Nathan’s cookbooks and how they make the most of the air fryer and slow cooker, two kitchen gadgets that have become increasingly popular in recent years.

The Boom of Air Fryers and Slow Cookers

In recent years, both slow cookers and air fryers have taken the home cooking world by storm. The slow cooker is perfect for those who love the idea of setting a meal in the morning and having it ready by dinner time without the need for constant attention. Slow-cooked meals are often richer in flavour, and the convenience of a “set it and forget it” cooking method makes it an ideal choice for busy families.

On the other hand, the air fryer has become a kitchen sensation for its ability to cook crispy, delicious meals with less oil, offering a healthier alternative to traditional frying methods. Whether you’re cooking chicken, chips, or even desserts, the air fryer helps create crispy, golden results in a fraction of the time compared to conventional ovens.

Why I started writing cookbooks

I started writing cookbooks because I could see just how quickly air fryers and slow cookers were taking off, but there weren’t enough recipes that showed people just how easy and versatile they could be. I saw a gap and wanted to create the kind of recipes I knew people actually wanted to cook at home – simple, tasty, affordable meals that didn’t require hours in the kitchen.

What started as a few recipes quickly turned into my first cookbook, and I’ve never really looked back. Since then, I’ve written a number of books focused on making everyday cooking easier, and together they’ve now sold over 2 million copies. It’s pretty mad to think that something that started from my love of cooking at home has grown into that. I now have eight cookbooks, each with a slightly different focus, but all designed to make cooking at home easier. If you’re looking for your next cookbook, you can find them all below, along with a little bit about what each one is all about.

Bored of Lunch: The Healthy Slow Cooker Book

This was my first ever cookbook and the purpose of this book is to show you that slow cooker meals can be healthy, easy and full of flavour without being complicated or taking hours to prepare. This book is packed with simple recipes using everyday ingredients, from family favourites and comforting classics to fakeaways and meal prep ideas. Just throw it all in, let the slow cooker do the work and come back to a delicious homemade meal.

Bored of Lunch: The Healthy Air Fryer Book

As air fryers became the go-to kitchen gadget, I saw a gap for a cookbook packed with easy recipes people would actually want to make. So I wrote The Healthy Air Fryer Book, featuring fan favourites like Honey Chilli Beef, Sweet Potato Katsu Curry and Cream Egg Croissant Balls. It went on to become the best-selling air fryer book of all time.
