Most recipes belong at a high class hotel will a gourmet chef with a lifestyle to match. I don't have time to scavenge exotic ingredients from specialty shops or the time to put into cooking these recipes daily (I'm a bacon and broccoli kinda girl).
After some research all ingredients in here are keto approved whether you're are strict, dirty or lazy. There is a ample salad section for new green ideas and an attractive sauce and seasoning blend listings in the back.
This book is nicely laid out but sadly does not supply a picture for each recipe. I don't know how publishers think only a limited number of pictures are acceptable as cookbook are as much for the eyes as the palate.
Looking forward to trying the Cream Cheese Pancakes. Shouldn't be too hard with only 2 ingredients. And next time I have ricotta on hand, I'll try the Ricotta Crepes, with only 3 ingredients. If I'm going to have something low-carb, high-fat, those two are right up my ally.
This book has a lot of recipes I wouldn't be using simply because they call for ingredients I would never use in any other meals (and some I had to research simply to figure out exactly what they are). some of the ingredients are a bit expensive if you are on a tighter budget. Also, to be honest, I'm lazy. Some of these recipes are involved by my standards.
That said there are several recipes I would like to try modified by moi. A couple I would try just as they are. But for the most part, this book seems to lean more towards people who are very into cooking and are doing keto. If you are a person with a busy schedule and some fussy kids, you will struggle hard to use everything in this book.
I also think it's a pity that many recipes don't have a little picture to go with them to visually appeal to you. For the most part it is left to you and your imagination to figure out what a dish would look like. I'm a visual reader when it comes to cookbooks. I like to see what you are trying to convince me to cook to eat. Yes some of them I was like "okay, I know those flavours and that could be good," but for the most part I was like "what would that look like exactly?"
So it was okay. Good for some fancier keto meals, but I wouldn't call it an everyday keto cookbook for a busy person.
Made the chia pudding/breakfast, so runny it was nothing like the image. Made Greek seasoning (wrapt to find a recipe as Greek seasoning is hard to buy where I am), tasted rubbish. Once I try a couple and they fail I’m done. I can’t waste time and ingredients…. The rest of the recipes often didn’t even have images which I really can’t stand. Off to the opp shop bin.
Well written, great photos and recipes BUT way too focused on eating lamb, beef and pork so seems unbalanced, at least for me. Also, a bit too regimented to be sustainable for most people with larger palettes.
This Keto cookbook is a mixed bag for me. On one hand, everything I tried from it was stellar: Sticky Brussels Sprouts, Triple Coconut Cauliflower Rice, Everything Cheese Balls - all of those were devine and easy to prepare. On the other hand, there's a lot of ....unusual... shall we say, recipes included that didn't even entice me to try. Chopped Liver, Crispy Dandelion Greens with Hazelnuts, and Beef Heart with Mushrooms being three examples. (Ummm... no. I'm not feeding heart from any animal to my family, thanks - but no thanks. I know it's extremely healthy. I don't care.)
My overall opinion here is that the recipes included are really good ones (tasting above average) but not designed for the typical American family who wants fast and kid friendly. It's hard enough to stay motivated on this diet without having to scout out exotic ingredients and prepare new dishes - and convince your kids it's not poison! There were a lot of other tasty recipes I marked to try, but I had to return it to the library and didn't get a chance to do them all with Thanksgiving falling right at the end of my checkout time. Overnight Nutty Chia Pudding, Bone-in Butter Chicken, Lemony Baked Chicken all sounded like meals my family would be on board with. Maybe next time around!
Eh. It was alright. I found a few recipes that would be doable with my budget/time constraints. But most of the recipes just weren't for me. Ingredients I'd probably have to go to a specialized grocery for. Going through the process of making some of that stuff. & for my own dietary concerns, some recipes made no sense whatsoever. 300 calories for a fatty coffee? Nah. That's a meal, with my metabolism.
Like I said, not really for me but could work for someone who wants to explore keto and give it a try.
So many good recipes - and someone else has a hold on it - so I'm going to purchase this cookbook. We love his Primal cookbook, so trust that these recipes will work out. My preference is to get a cookbook from the library, try some recipes and then decide whether to buy the cookbook. This is because my cookbook shelves are sagging already!
If I don't have success with the recipes, I'll update. But I expect Mark Sisson will come through!
After using this book for 2 weeks I have to admit a few of the recipes are absolutely horrible!!! It does give a good base for beginning low carb eating. That’s about it though. It’s good for main dishes, beverages, and that’s it. The pistachio cupcake was the worst thing that I’ve ever put in my mouth.
Once I’ve had a chance to make a few meals over the next few weeks, I’ll potentially raise the stars to 5 - this book contains the most realistic (sound good, ingredients I can find, simple enough, and variety) recipe list I’ve yet seen in a Keto cookbook.
