David Small

I'm David, a British cook and cookbook author with a simple but firm belief: if a recipe book isn't written for the person actually using it, with metric measurements, ingredients from a real British supermarket, and portions that make sense for their life, then it isn't really doing its job.

That idea drives everything I write.

My flagship title, The BIG Metric Ninja Foodi Cookbook, became an Amazon Best Seller multiple times and remains the definitive Ninja Foodi cookbook for UK, European, and Australian owners. It was the first Ninja Foodi cookbook written entirely in metric, grams, millilitres, Celsius, using ingredients verified against Tesco and Asda. No cups, no Fahrenheit, no obscure imports. It has been continuously updated and now includes full support for the 2023 SmartLid devices. Whether you are brand new to the Ninja Foodi or a seasoned owner looking for fresh ideas, it covers the full range of what your device can do: pressure cooking, slow cooking, air crisping, baking, steaming, and more, across over 160 recipes from a proper Sunday roast to Thai green chicken curry, marble cake to Irish beef stew.

My Ninja Foodi library has grown steadily since then, with titles covering different aspects of multi-cooker cooking, always written for real home cooks, always in metric, always with honest step-by-step methods where no instruction is assumed and no step is skipped.

More recently, I have expanded into the wider world of air fryer cooking. Air Fryer British Pub Classics brings over 60 of the nation's most beloved pub, chip shop, and comfort food recipes to any air fryer, Fish and Chips, Steak and Ale Pie, Hunter's Chicken, Toad in the Hole, Sticky Toffee Pudding, and much more, with that proper golden crunch, in a fraction of the oil and time. Every recipe uses metric measurements and ingredients from Tesco, Asda, Aldi, Lidl, Sainsbury's, or Morrisons. Nothing obscure. Nothing that requires a specialist order.

Just For You: The Solo Air Fryer Cookbook tackles a gap that has been ignored for far too long: 99 brilliant single-portion air fryer recipes, every one written for one person, every one in metric, every one ready in 30 minutes or less. The supermarket isn't designed for people who live alone, and neither are most cookbooks. Just For You is. From a Full English in twelve minutes to beef Wellington for one, from a proper single-serve Sunday roast with real Yorkshire pudding to sticky toffee pudding in a ramekin, this is the book for anyone who is tired of halving recipes, throwing away leftovers, or settling for a ready meal.

Whether you own a Ninja Foodi multi-cooker or a standalone air fryer, whether you are cooking for a family or just for yourself, there is a book in my collection that fits your kitchen and your life. All my titles are available in Kindle and paperback editions.
