The story of ActiFry by Groupe SEB The Groupe SEB (Société d'Emboutissage de Bourgogne) has 150 years of history based on constantly innovating and conquering new markets. SEB's goal is to make life easier for people around the world, providing them with products and new solutions that bring joy and well being. This mix of inventiveness, ambition and persistence, along with the attention we pay to consumers, has made our group world leader in small household appliances. Our company headquarters have been located in Burgundy, France, since we were founded, and we have always been inspired by this famous region's historical values, with its recognized gastronomy and unique cultural heritage strongly influenced by the lifestyle of its inhabitants. So, it comes as no surprise that this region is the birthplace of a revolutionary way of cooking!
Today, in addition to simplifying your daily life, we also provide you with delicious culinary moments and many other agreeable experiences, thanks to products that are perfectly adapted to healthy, flavourful cooking.
ActiFry Burgundy style The idea of making homemade chips with very little oil arose a long time ago, and we were able to approach the question from another angle through our research work with French universities that focused on the cooking process. This new knowledge led us to understand the precise role oil plays in cook ing and the exac t parameters needed to get a crispy outside and a soft inside. Once we developed and mastered this process, we needed to transpose it in a household appliance. It took no fewer than five generations of prototypes and mul t ipl e organoleptic tests to come up with the sought-after quality and results.
Our research and studies led to four different patents concerning this revolutionary procedure. There were more than ten years of research between the initial idea and the first production series in January 2007. Now, as a result of this teamwork, ActiFry is produced by the thousands every day, in France, in the heart of Burgundy.
ActiFry Revolutionary ActiFry ActiFry makes 1 kg (2¼ lb) of real homemade chips, crispy on the outside and soft inside, with only one spoonful of oil! That is less than 3% fat with chips that taste just like those our grandmothers made. WithActiFry, we can use quality oils that are good for us, so we can vary dishes and flavours. It is part of our Nutritious & Delicious range that combines the latest technology with SEB know-how for delicious healthy eating.
Universal ActiFry ActiFry has travelled a lot and people just keep talking about it. Its talent as an international "cook" is without contest, and its trips to various countries always please eaters' taste buds. It is no surprise that more than a million families throughout the world have adopted it. It is also because health is a key concern for everyone that ActiFry appeals to knowledgeable consumers in a number of countries.
ActiFry is, in fact, a great success nutritionally: ActiFry can make 1 kg (2¼ lb) of golden, crispy chips with only a single spoonful of oil, and it can adapt to the culinary culture of every country it visits. Great chefs in Italy, France, Germany, Turkey, Eastern Europe, Australia, Canada, Russia and many other countries are using it without difficulty to combine healthy eating with pleasure in local gourmet recipes.
ActiFry and You And all of this is only the beginning. ActiFry hopes you will tell us about your recipes. Your talent in cooking can accompany ActiFry on itsjourneys, so do not hesitate to visit the Nutritious & Delicious site to add your recipes.
ActiFry and the Media ActiFry was born in France, in the city of Is-sur-Tille. Today, not only customers, but also journalists from around the world visit its birthplace. They want to understand what magic potion gave rise to such innovation. ActiFry even has paparazzi shooting it non-stop when at consumer demonstrations and tastings around the world.

What
professionals say
TURKEY Professor Osman Müftüoglu, endocrinologist
It is essential to recognize good carbohydrates, good protein, and good fat, to not intake more energy than you need, and to turn to foods that are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fibre. Basically, "eating" is amagic word that means more than simply feeding yourself, but also choosing a lifestyle that influences your life negatively or positively.
RUSSIA
REPUBLIC OF SLOVAKIA Doctor Peter Minarik, gastroenterologist
The choice is clear: if we want to respect the rules of healthy eating, it is not enough to only focus on appropriate food choices, but how you prepare a meal is also important. With ActiFry, your favourite dishes become healthy and delicious. This new appliance should be found in every modern kitchen and is sure to please people who defend healthy eating. ActiFry is a muchawaited product on our gastronomic and culinary market.
Doctor Trifonova, nutritionist
In modern Russia, healthy eating corresponds to quality cooking that preserves food flavours and reduces cooking time. The Nutritious & Delicious product line is an absolute reference in the area. As a specialised user, I can confirm that it meets not only the standards set by dieticians, but also those standards Russians are looking for in household appliances, making it possible to cook delicious, high quality food. This combination responds precisely to the main principles of dietetic doctrine, which concerns not only the science of nutrition, but also the lifestyle to adopt.
AUSTRALIA Doctor Trent Watson, certified dietician
ActiFry represents a fantastic opportunity to cook with less fat, which allows people who work to prepare a large number of favourite family dishes quickly and easily. ActiFry offers a really low-fat alternative to frying. With it, you can associate high quality ingredients with a small quantity of oil to quickly prepare flavourful and healthy meals, which is a good way for working families to stay healthy.
FRANCE Doctor Christian Recchia, physician, nutritionist
Eating is, above all, a social act of sharing, a moment of pleasure we constantly renew, but it is also an important moment of well being and health. Eating well is a good way to grow up better and to age better. ActiFry's features make it possible to eat chips and potatoes with low quantities of fat, which helps fight obesity and cardiovascular diseases. ActiFry also offers the possibility of cooking other foods well: vegetables, meat, fish, and fruit. This cookbook is an exciting concentration of flavourful, varied dishes cooked in a revolutionary appliance. The combinations were judiciously chosen to give you a maximum of satisfaction both taste-wise and nutrition-wise. All the recipes were carefully developed to take into account the nutritional properties of each ingredient, and their inclusion in a balanced menu.

Vary your oils There are four major fami l ies of vegetable oi l s and fat s : saturated oils, oleic oils, linoleic oils, and linolenic oils. Vegetable oils are made up of varying propor t ions of fat ty acids. These fatty acids can be saturated, monounsaturated or polyunsaturated. An oil's fatty acid composition determines what it looks like, how it responds to cold and heat, its nutritional value and the impact is has on the body. Fatty acids can also be produced by our body from glucose. Monounsaturated fatty acids contribute to the formation of the mye l in sheath that surrounds nerves and play a role in regulating the metabo-
Polyunsaturated oils The human body cannot produce polyunsaturated fatty acids found in these oils. Linoleic acid and alpha linolenic acid are both polyunsaturated fatty acids that need to come from food sources, and they are called "essential" for this reason.
lism of lipids and cholesterol. They fight high choles terol and reduce levels of LDL ( the type of cholesterol that lines arteries) and increase levels of HDL (the type of cholesterol that recuperates and eliminates excess cholesterol). They protect the cardiovas cular sys tem, cerebral tissue and the nervous system.

Omega 6 Linoleic acid decreased overall cholesterol levels, lowering both LDL and HDL cholesterol. It is essential for the formation of the skin's impermeable barrier and is part of several hormones. It can be found in sunflower oil, corn oil and grape seed oil.

Omega 3 High-oleic monunsaturated oils These are oils that generally contain more than 50% oleic acid. Monounsaturated fatty acids are particularly present in olive oil, sunflower oil, hazelnut oil, almond oil, pistachio oil and pecan oil.
This acid reduces triglycerides in the blood and contributes to fluidifying the blood. It is found in linseed oil, soya oil, walnut oil and lupin oil.
Beware of saturated oil! These oils have more than 40% saturated fatty acids in all. The more a fat is saturated the more it tends to harden at room temperature: coconut oil, palm oil, shea butter, and animal fats, for example, have high levels of saturated fatty acids.
Saturated fatty acids resist well to heat. However, the body has a hard time assimilating them, and as a result, they increase bad cholesterol levels. Therefore, because they can be harmful to our health, we should limit our consumption of these fats, without eliminating them totally from our diets.

Potatoes: delicious and well balanced Potatoes are very popular, yet suffer from numerous prejudices and are often accused of causing weight gain. However, they are a food product that is qualitatively interesting nutritionally. They can contribute to a balanced diet by providing elements that tend to be missing in today's diets, including vitamins, magnesium, iron and complex sugars. Potatoes have practically no fat (0.1%) and little protein (2%). They are made up of 80% water and 16% starch, a carbohydrate our body assimilates slowly. Potatoes are an excellent source of energy and contain a good quantity of fibres. Peeled potatoes may have only a small quantity of fibres (1.5 g/100 g on average), yet this quantity is not negligible, considering that 300 g/10 ½ oz or potatoes provide 20% of the recommended daily allowance. These fibres help digestion and are particularly non-irritating.
Potatoes not only contain most trace elements, they also provide significant quantities of: • potassium, which is essential for muscle contraction and for the heart muscle; • magnesium, which plays a major role in maintaining the nervous sys tem, wi th 300 g/10 ½ oz covering an adult's daily needs; • iron, which plays a vital role in blood formation. The vitamin C found in potatoes makes it easier to assimilate iron (0.3 to 0.9 mg/100 g).
Potatoes have multiple qualities that make them a food for everyone at every age.

How should I cut the potatoes? How you cut the potatoes will influence how crispy they are. The finer the cut, the crispier they will be and vice versa, that is the thicker they are, the more they will be soft in the centre. Vary the cut according to your taste:

How should I prepare potatoes for ActiFry? For best results, you need to make sure the potatoes do not stick to g e t h e r . To d o s o , w e recommend washing them well whole; then cutting them into chips and washiing them again until the water is clear. This way you remove a maximum of starch. Dry them thoroughly with a very absorbent tea towel. The chips should be perfectly dry before you put them in the ActiFry.

Potatoes vary in size, shape and flavour depending on variety, climate, and how they are grown. Each type of potato has its own characteristics in terms of season, production, size, colour, storage and culinary uses. Cooking results can vary depending on where the potatoes come from and the season.

Balance is Key The good news is you do not have to choose between a balanced diet and delicious food. There is a solution: ActiFry. This new, innovative appliance was designed by Tefal to decrease the quantity of fat needed to cook chips and your favourite dishes without denaturing the taste. It is a really useful tool!
Balanced menus for the week You do not build a balanced diet based on a single meal, but over a whole week! It is essential to vary your menus That is why this cookery book provides you with a number of original recipes spread out over two weeks of balanced menus. They are simple to make and, with ActiFry, respect the flavour and nutritional properties of the food.
Breakfast is a key moment in the day and important to your nutritional balance.
We suggest an ideally balanced breakfast based on four essential groups: a beverage, a dairy product, a grain product and fruit, eaten whole, as juice or stewed.
As a nutritionist, I see people fighting every day to eat less fat, less salt and less sugar to lose weight. I see people succeed for a period of time, more or less, and then give up. They break down and return to old habits that are bad for your health in the short or long term.
Whatever your preference, make sure that each of these four groups is included on your morning breakfast. It is important to select products carefully for their nutritional properties and flavours, so that this useful breakfast is the first delicious moment in your day!
Lunch and dinner should each provide 1/3 of your daily needs.
They include a starter, main dish (fish or meat with starch and vegetables), By building a good first meal of the cheese/dairy product and a piece of day, you not only replenish your body fruit. The secret varying your diet is in energy and nutrients after a long knowing that all about moderation. night of fasting, but you also ensure that you will have an effective morning without snacking and "cravings".
Nathalie HUTTER LARDEAU, nutritionnist
Because balance is easy when you have the right tools: ActiFry limits fat, multiplies fun ways of cooking meat, fish, vegetables and fruit, and give us a renewed understanding of the right portion size. Stressing, hard to keep diets are a thing of the past. You can only deprive yourself for so long. Husbands pull long faces, children frown, you get dsicouraged and everyone has enough. But balance is not about three weeks of strict dieting to fit into your swimsuit. Balance should be lasting if you want to prevent excess weight and related health problems.

With ActiFry, I can cook with a variety of different oils, because I only need one spoonful. What is my favourite oil? Grape seed oil is delicious. Françoise, 48 years old Midi-Pyrénées, France
Before ActiFry, I would never make chips in winter: it was too smelly! With ActiFry, I make chips whenever I want to and it is easy. I can make everyone happy, no matter what the season. I have high cholesterol and have to follow a strict diet. I bought ActiFry to vary my diet and respect my doctor's instructions.

COMBINING PROTEINS! This is a perfect combination of good quality protein (veal) for your muscles, balanced fatty acids (canola and veal) for the cardiovascular system, and complex carbohydrates (flour, breadcrumbs) so you feel full. This recipe is served ideally with spinach or a green salad.
Dip the veal first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs and finally into the breadcrumbs, until well coated. Bread a second time and refrigerate for half an hour to set the coating.
Tip
The best canola oil comes from the Teutberg forest in Germany; it has a slight taste of butter. But it is hard to find.

Turkish cuisine is one of the richest in the world, close to both Europe and the East, at the crossroad of Asian, Eastern and Mediterranean flavours. Further south, in the Persian Gulf and the Emirates, influences brought back in the caravans are highlighted, with a symbol of this culture, coffee, served in tiny glasses, that traditionally accompany all discussions and are part of this region’s conviviality.

THE VIRTUES OF PRAWNS! Prawns have a number of nutritional properties. They are low in fat and have a lot of good quality protein, which is essential for healthy muscles. In addition, they have a lot of vitamins, in particular B12, which contributes for forming red blood cells, and B3, which frees up energy for your body's cells. They also have zinc, which is recognized for its antioxidant properties.
To make a spicier dish, add dried, ground chillies. Cajun spice mix is a Louisiana speciality made with garlic, onion, paprika, black pepper, cumin, powdered mustard, Cayenne pepper, thyme and oregano. If you cannot find the prepared mixture, use all or part of these ingredients to season your prawns.
