Air Fryer Garlic Knots

I’m going to write at some point about how much I love my air fryer and how you definitely need to buy one, but for now I’m just going to share my new favourite recipe. These are a delicious alternative to garlic bread, lovely and soft and fresh, and with only about 15 minutes’ effort. […]

Easy veggie sausage rolls, in honour of #ivjfd15
