I've been doing keto for a couple of years, it is an incredibly enjoyable way to eat and lose weight without deprivation. This is a wonderful keto cookbook, it's one of my favorites for cooking for my family. I've not been disappointed with any recipes from this book. Some of my favories are prosciutto and cream cheese stuffed mushrooms, classic mozzarella sticks, and philly cheesesteak stuffed peppers.

Seems ok
Some of the ingredients used seem questionable when I am trying to improve health. Ingredients like diet cola and canola oil.
But there are definitely recipes I’ll make.

I have not tried this diet yet, but this book is a nice introduction to the subject. The recipes look yummy.

I'm very interested in the ketogenic diet. The recipes in this book look easy enough to follow. I will have to do more research on dairy alternatives and whether or not they will work, as I don't eat bovine dairy. I also don't eat beef and a lot of seafood. Much of our seafood is spoiled from the pollution in our oceans. There are many different meats to chose from, however, so this shouldn't be a problem. I was disappointed that this book suggests sugar-free sweeteners, diet colas, and canola oil! Really? That's so unhealthy and not at all "whole" food! Other than that, these recipes look promising. Removing sugar from my diet will be challenging.

Opens up the World of Keto Eating
I loved the tasty options available in this book. I never thought to try pork rind nachos! I also will love the peanut butter cookie recipe and the homemade sauce section is going to make food interesting again.

Really excited to try this new lifestyle / diet. As a type 1 with not so great A1C standings, I needed to find something that will help my mind and body function better. I couldn't be happier to take the next step!

Excellent resource for anyone following a Ketogenic (high fat/low carb) diet! And some tasty recipes even for those who aren't!

Very informative and a good guide for beginners. The recipes listed are very helpful and doable as well.

A very informative and well written detailed explanation on the ketogenic way of eating. I truly enjoy cookbooks that contain pictures of the food as I am more likely to make those recipes. I recommend this book for anyone interested in the LCHFMP lifestyle, whether your knowledge is beginner level or more advanced.

There is balance to this book which makes it a valuable resource. I like the recipes fo Keto Ketchup and Keto BBQ sauce, avoiding sugar but delivering on taste.
Negatives come from the lack of depth of culinary education. A ton of very useful ingredients are missing (eg) Spanish Smoked Paprika, which would address a lot of taste issues in the book. Good layout.

Excellent Guide to Keto!
I just recently started my Keto journey and I found this book extremely helpful. There is a good mixture of general information and delicious recipes. I’ve made some of the recipes already and I’m not disappointed.

Same rehash of any other ketogenic/low carb diet. Read it on a digital format, so I cannot state anything about page quality. Pictures were good.

Really enjoying the recipes in this one! Good keto info in the beginning without being too overwhelming, too. It'll be a continual reference for sure.

This is my favorite cookbook since starting a Keto diet. The recipes are full of rich filling foods that help me from craving all of the carbs laden foods that I have eaten in the past.

Appealing recipes
Didn't see any recipes that I wouldn't make. All were appealing. Just starting diet and this book will be an asset.
