From Utility Bills to Air Frying Thrills: A Nana's Tale
Greetings from Cardiff, the land of dragons and... well, me!
I'm a happily married with two daughters who've flown the nest and four grandkids who are cuter than Welsh corgis in tiaras.
After a quarter-century of making sure the lights stayed on (quite literally) at an Utility Company, my spine decided it had other plans.
It turns out I've been carrying around a souvenir from my teenage years - Scheuermann's disease and a curved spine. Talk about baggage!
So, I bid farewell to my desk job and hello to early retirement.
But let's be honest, there are only so many daytime TV shows one can watch before the brain turns to Welsh rarebit.
Sure, I've got my weekly gig as "Nanny Daycare" (because apparently, that's what retirement is for), but I needed something more. Something to keep my mind sharp and my wit sharper.
Enter this website - my digital playground and passionate project. Because when life gives you lemons, you make a website about air frying them! (Spoiler alert: air-fried lemon slices are surprisingly tasty.)
So, buckle up! Join me on this wild ride through the world of air frying. It's going to be a crispy, delicious adventure!
Why I Started This Blog
So, why did I decide to dive into the blogosphere?
Well, let me tell you, I’ve developed a serious crush on my air fryer!
It’s like a magic wand that turns my kitchen into a healthy culinary wonderland.
With three years of air frying under my belt, I’ve gone from a novice to a self-proclaimed “Air Fryer Whisperer.”
Seriously, I can now transform ordinary ingredients into mouthwatering masterpieces with just a sprinkle of creativity and a dash of less oil.
Who knew healthy could taste this good?
My journey began with my first love—my Ninja Max Dual AF400UK. The moment I unboxed that beauty, it was like fireworks went off in my kitchen! Suddenly, I was on a mission to revolutionise my meals, one crispy bite at a time.
I envisioned a cosy corner of the internet where fellow air frying enthusiasts (yes, that’s you!) could gather to discover exciting recipes, learn handy tips, and share in the joy of creating delicious dishes without the guilt.
So, grab your apron, and let’s embark on this crispy adventure together! After all, life is too short for boring meals—let’s air fry it up!

An Air Frying Moment to Remember: The Award That Left Me Speechless!
Picture this: I’m happily air frying away, probably turning yet another humble vegetable into a crispy masterpiece, when I get an email that stops me in my tracks.
I’ve been nominated for an award!
Now, my website was just over a year old at the time, and I was so surprised I nearly dropped my air fryer (don’t worry, it’s safe!).
I mean, who knew that my air frying adventures would lead to such recognition?
Fast forward to the big day, and I’m thrilled to announce that I won the award for "Best Emerging Air Fryer Guide 2023"!
🎉 Cue the confetti and the happy dance (carefully of course) in my kitchen!
It was a moment I’ll never forget—proof that when you sprinkle a little passion and a lot of air frying magic into your cooking, amazing things can happen.
So, here’s to more crispy adventures and maybe even more awards (fingers crossed)!
Let’s keep air frying our way to greatness!
My Double Life as a Kitchen Wizard and Design Enthusiast!
When I’m not busy turning ordinary ingredients into crispy delights in the kitchen, you can find me diving into my other passion: interior design.
Yes, folks, I’m not just an air frying wizard—I’m also a home decor aficionado!
While I’m whipping up new recipes, I’m also dreaming up ways to make my living room look like it belongs in a magazine (or at least a Pinterest board).
Who knew that air frying could inspire such creativity?
These two activities keep me grounded and balanced—like a perfectly cooked air-fried potato!
So whether I’m experimenting with flavours or rearranging furniture like a Tetris champion, I’m all about keeping the creative juices flowing.
After all, a well-fed mind is just as important as a well-fed belly!
Join the Air Frying Adventure
Thank you for hopping on this delicious journey with me!
I’m on a mission to build an air frying community where we can share recipes, tips, and maybe even a few laughs along the way.
I promise, I’m not just here to fry your brains with air frying wisdom—I’m also looking to form some everlasting friendships (and don’t worry, I don’t bite… unless it’s a really good piece of air-fried chicken!).
P.S. Just so you know, I can be serious when I’m blogging—at least when it comes to cooking!
So, let’s roll up our sleeves, get crispy, and make some tasty memories together! 🍽️✨
Happy air frying!
