“Easy Keto Cooking, adapted from Martina Slajerova’s best-selling The Beginner’s Keto Diet Cookbook, distills the key information you need as you start out with the diet and the best-of-the-best recipes to make while retaining the expertise of one of the best-selling keto authors on the market today. The book offers an introduction to the science behind the ketogenic diet, a basic guide to following it, and abundant practical solutions for the beginner, including navigating the first tricky few weeks as your metabolism readjusts to burning fat rather than carbs.”

With my family’s host of dietary restrictions, I’ve found that keto comes the closest.

This book has a lot going for it. There’s a tonne of information on the keto diet, the science behind it, and tips and tricks to make your transition easier.

I’m not interested in the weight-loss part, so let’s skip to the good part, shall we?

First off, the pictures for the food are gorgeous. They’re not only informative (it’s nice to know how things should look) but also artful.

The recipes, themselves, are varied and delicious. Often grain-free recipes rely heavily on almond flour, and while this is a great option, I liked that she used a variety of ground bases (coconut flour, cauliflower, and zucchini for instance).

Our family particularly liked the Multi Seed Keto Crackers paired with the Macadamia Cheese dip (we subbed in pumpkin seeds), the Turkey Nuggets with Kale Slaw (we did a strawberry vinaigrette), and the Pan-fried Salmon with Superfood Mash (we subbed broccoli for the cauliflower, so it was a little more mess and a little less mash).

Improvements I’d love to see:

The beginning chapters were super-informative, but the huge blocks of text were a little overwhelming. A graphic or two would have been an appealing way to break up the content.

There was no Recipe List in the Table of Contents. I prefer a list of recipes at-a-glace.

The recipes were laid out inconsistently. I’d like to see them all the same.

All things considered, I think this book was well done. The recipes would be helpful for anyone interested in keto, or, like our family, grain-free.

7.5/10

Thank you Netgalley and Fair Winds, New Shoe from Quarto Publishing Group for provided my copy. My thoughts always my own.

One of the easiest Keto cookbooks I’ve came across. It’s very simple and easy to follow. Whoever is the person designing these books, you’re doing a great job making it simple and straight to the point. The author explains about the keto diet, shows the troubleshooting, explains the keto phases, and how to maintain your new lifestyle. There are also charts showing each type of food portion size, total carbs and net carbs. The recipes look pretty good! I can’t wait to try them all. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

Reviewed for NetGalley:

There really was no "easy" with these recipes.. 20 ingredients does not equate easy.

By the time you would purchase the items for one recipe, it would cost $50. No thanks.

The breakdown of keto and general information on the diet was helpful, the recipes not so much.

This keto recipe book was incredibly creative with lots of recipes I would love to try out! There was also a lot of information about the keto lifestyle in general which will be really handy for those who don't know much about it.

Lots of Keto and other variations of cooking information in this cookbook. Many healthy tips, a ton of graphs with nutritional information, easy to follow recipes. Some of the ingredients were unfamiliar to me, I learned some new ways to prepare food. I just wish there were more photos - when I'm looking at recipes, I want to see some step by step photos or at least a finished item photo.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for a temporary, digital ARC in return for my review.
