The Official Ninja(R) Foodi(TM) XL Pro Air Oven Complete Cookbook: 100 Recipes to Feed Your Family Fast

I am new to an Air Oven, so I looked forward to this new publication made specifically for my Ninja XL Pro Air Oven. I was disappointed for two reasons. First, none of the recipes are quick and simple. Not one. And, more importantly, every recipe requires at least one Ninja "accessory" , like the "Ninja Sheet Pan" or "Air Fry Basket" or "9 Inch Square Casserole Dish." I just forked out my money for the Air Oven, and I am not ready to purchase the whole lot of Ninja accessories.Thank you, Amazon, for making it easy to return my book to my local Whole Foods.

I had hoped there would be more basic recipes in this book (I couldn't really tell from the product images). A large majority of the recipes seem to be pretty high fat and sodium. And many use ingredients I would never keep around. I would have liked to learn more about everyday cooking in this oven...the settings you would use to make burgers, for example. Maybe lasagna. However, I did make a 5.5 pound chicken (see picture) and it was awesome and simple. I also made the apple pancake using a sheet pan. it was great too, and will provide my husband and me with many breakfasts or snacks from the freezer (because it's huge and there are only two of us). I have a few other things planned to try soon and over time will probably try more. So, I'm keeping the book, and I love my XL Pro Air Oven more than anything!

My mistake getting this book because the recipes are made for the xl pro which is a larger foodi than the one I have. Even after compensating for the difference, I wasn't that impressed with the recipes.

I just got the book and it starts on page 25 Breakfast. Amazon was quick to give a refund. Just beware if you’re giving this for a gift it may be an incomplete book, at least mine was.Since I have to give it a star flipping through it: layout is good, wish there were more photos and recipes look manageable.

not worth $20.00, not of enough pictures hardly any.Lack of value

Overall, this cookbook is ok. It is well written (unlike some other similar cookbooks I’ve previewed on Amazon), BUT I’m not a big fan of the recipes. As a Ninja Air Fryer Oven XL “newbie,” I was hoping for more basic recipes. I found a roasted chicken recipe that looks good, but I was hoping for more meal ideas like that.Another issue I had, although not at the fault of those who put this cookbook together, was that it wasn’t packed well for shipping. It somehow got tangled up in the shipping box and crimped a good portion of the book. This does not affect my rating on the cookbook but is more of a suggestion for improved packaging to Amazon.

There are an assortment of recipes, for beginners to more advanced cooks. However, within each skill-level, you may not find enough of what you are looking for to call this a good investment, particularly if you are short on time or a beginner. Among the simple recipes, you may still need to be "adventurous" eater and several recipes will require ingredients that I don't suspect the casual cook will have on hand.That being said, There is a large variety of recipes in this book, and it may be valuable to a more intermediate/experienced cook who wants to build on the basics, maybe add to their repertoire. Additionally, cooking in the foodi does make preparing more extravagant or interesting meals that much easier, if that is your aim.

I found this cookbook very handy and informative. It has a lot of great recipes in it to use. I like it because it is designed for this particular Ninja Foodi. I had used a different book and since it was not for this model the recipes did not work. This cookbook is designed especially for the XL model. It also gives some tips on the oven itself.

Cooks meals in half the time. Saves on electric. Highly recommend

Almost no basic everyday recipes !! The Ninja XL PRO recommends that you do not use olive oil or butter !! Yet many recipes in this book calls for butter & olive oil ??? I have a T-Fal AIRFRYER 2 in1 Have used it at least 2-3 times a week for 4 yrs now !! Mostly chicken, wings/ drumsticks, legs & breasts !! Fish & home cut frys & wedges !! I have purchased the NINJA XL PRO. & wanted a book with everyday recipes !! This book did not provide this !!

Used to do a few recipes in original ninja digital fry oven bought th book in anticipation for when the Xl oven becomes available inCanada. Have some recipes ready for when oven is here.
