Kyndra Holley knows that one of the biggest challenges people face when transitioning to and sticking with a whole foods–based ketogenic lifestyle is carving out time to cook day after day—especially on busy weeknights when life is pulling you in a million directions. Preparing healthy low-carb meals from scratch, without relying on prepackaged convenience foods, can leave you feeling like you spent hours in the kitchen, all for a meal that's just a memory within a few minutes' time.
Being no stranger to the familiar time crunches of modern life, Kyndra tackles the issue head-on in her new cookbook, 30-Minute Ketogenic Cooking . The book features more than 50 of her quickest, most mouthwatering recipes, each of which requires no more than 30 minutes of hands-on cooking time. You'll be enjoying tasty keto meals in almost no time flat!
This book is a game-changer for busy families, overworked singles, and anyone else wishing to adopt and maintain a ketogenic lifestyle without letting food prep, cooking, and cleanup rule their lives. Kyndra has included her favorite fast and flavorful breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks. As in her previous books, every recipe uses only easy-to-source, real-food ingredients and reflects her instantly recognizable flair. In 30-Minute Ketogenic Cooking , she lets you in on her best timesaving tips and tricks so that in half an hour or less, you can have a delicious and nutritious low-carb meal on your plate.
These recipes are amazing. I loved that there was a breakdown of total as well as net carbs on all recipes. Everything that I have made from this book has turned out as expected. There are no "weird" ingredients that will break the bank, nothing I have to buy in bulk only to use 1 teaspoon. Just straight forward good recipes. The most exotic ingredient I found in this book was erythritol- aka swerve. Definitely worth buying!
I'm quite surprised there are a few things that look really good. Egg clouds sound really good and the crescent rolls looked nice. Some of the recipes seem a little too basic, but otherwise, I was quite please. I also like that it gives a shopping list for the week.
Fabulous recipes to help you stay keto! I love Kyndra's other cookbooks (Craveable Cooking is my favorite) and she has a ton of free recipes on her blog peaceloveandlowcarb.
I have been following Kyndra's Peace, Love and Low Carb Instagram forever! She is wonderful! This cookbook is almost as wonderful as her! I say almost, because how can a book beat such a sweetheart on the wonderful scale?! Not possible. However it did put up a good fight. What with the Sesame Shortbread Sugar Cookies, Herbed Goat Cheese Cauliflower Mash, Sauteed Asparagus with Mushrooms and bacon, and the Fish Taco Bowls, to name a few, this book was in it to win it! I cannot recommend this enough. All the stars!
I know several people who are on the ketogenic diet, so I was interested in looking into it. I don't eat dairy, so many of the recipes are of no interest to me. I did find some good salad dressing recipes.
