Great book for beginners.
When I decided to start ketogenics I bought a general book plus three cookbooks. This book was the smallest of the three cookbooks but easily the most useful.Amanda lee includes basic ketogenics information at the front of the book and tips for eating away from home at the end. In between is a lot of helpful information....The book contains a two week menu for beginners. (Face it, there's a 90% chance you won't follow it to the letter, but it does help set your thinking in the right direction.) For each individual week there's a shopping list which, by itself, will help you adjust your kitchen quite a bit. There are tips on the best sweeteners (Swerve over Splenda), the oils you'll need, produce, canned and bottled items, pantry items, and meats. Something to consider as you go along is that some items, like almond and coconut flour are expensive items to stock up on, but you'll use considerably less than non-keto recipes will use for regular flour. Do what you can afford. Just know that there are some must-have staples like coconut oil and olive oil.....The recipes themselves are divided into smoothies and breakfasts, appetizers and snacks, fish and poultry, meats, veggies and sides, desserts, and staples. Each individual recipe gives an overall "keto quotient" (how close it fits the idea balance of fats, carbs, and protein) as well as what each serving contains in calories and the fats, carbs, and protein for those servings. This makes life a lot easier if you are using a phone or tablet app to keep an eating record.I find myself in the kitchen a lot more, but that's a good thing, especially since I'm gaining more energy and endurance from the diet. Since I live alone I've also invested in more plastic bags and containers. When I use one of the recipes I divide the finished product into the number of servings, eat one and bag the rest for the freezer or fridge. [p]Recipes include items like homemade salad dressings and mayonnaise in a good keto balance. Since I'm eating a lot more salad this has been handy to have. I also thought I would miss sweets but I've been using the book to make snacks with stevia products. There are some chocolate recipes using cocoa powder and oils that help stifle any chocolate cravings. The oils often melt at a little above room temperature so I put chocolate pieces in bags in the freezer and granola in the fridge in snack bags.!I have yet to find a recipe that didn't turn out well, though my tastebuds like a little more salt. Better to add it in later because you can't take it out once it's cooked. The only bad turnout I had was my mistake, assuming that coconut flour would substitute for almond flour. It won't.!There's a wide variety of tastes to help you learn your way through adapting the lifestyle to your tastes.!Thanks author and great job! Best wishes, Todd M.

I am interested in Keto Diet and my colleague recommended me this book
I am interested in Keto Diet and my colleague recommended me this book. In this book the author provides us comprehensive detailed regarding what this diet entails and how we can stick to it, all while enjoying our meals and shedding to extra pounds that seem to have piled on. I found 51 amazing and simple recipes in this Ketogenic cookbook. This book is well written and easy to understand. All recipes are saved with simple ingredients and with easy cooking directions. All instructions are clear, easy to follow, with full nutritional information. I have tried some recipes of this cookbook and they were really great. I liked this book and I'm glad to add this cookbook to my Keto Diet collection. I recommend this book for those who need such type of information.

Good one
I highly recommend this book for several reasons. Easy to read. Not too technical. As an older person, I also liked the larger font, lol. I really liked how they presented the information and gave you week to week meal plans, including yummy snacks. The back end of the book included very organized shopping lists according to each week. It listed dairy, produce, meat, and gave you a list of pantry staples to have on hand. I was impressed with the recipes too. They all sound so yummy and are not complex at all. For snacks, you get Fat Bombs to make sure that you are getting enough fat in your diet! Crazy, right? I can’t wait to make the chocolate chip cookie dough fat bombs.

Wish it had more information
The beginning of the book, which describes the Keto diet, is extremely basic and information that you can find online for free. That is disappointing. A simple internet search would easily show you the same information. There are a lot of recipes, but I am disappointed that there are no pictures of the foods. The most appealing part of a cookbook is looking at the pictures of all the food you can now make. Also disappointed that this book does not contain weekly eating plans for beginners. This is a very confusing diet, I was hoping this book would provide some helpful information, which it really does not.

Don't waste your money.
Recipes have more carbs in one serving that you can eat in one day on the Keto diet plan. Wish I had not purchased. Extremely disappointed.

I am super new keto!
I am super new to keto, and this cookbook was helpful in breaking down the principles for me. I hate to cook, so I was apprehensive, but this book helped get me past my initial roadblocks. I appreciated the way everything was broken down, and explained. Instead of a giant ball of keto confusion, I got small, manageable sections. It was great for answering my questions, without overwhelming me. Super new keto!

Not Great
This book is very basic and the recipes are ok, but not fantastic. It is very basic, perhaps too basic. My main disappointment with it is that it does not list fibre in the macros meaning that net carbs have to be calculated using another secondary source.The instructions are clear and the recipes are interesting so for that it gets 3 stars.
