4 out of 5 stars
Delicious!!
Great recipes! I have always been a Dana fan (have two other cookbooks written ) by her but I am always on the lookout for new and different low carb recipes. Plenty of options in this new cookbook! We loved the Buffalo Chicken Slaw... quick and delicious! (See photo) I do wish there were photos of the food, but I realize that would make the book more expensive. Dana, keep them coming!!
Thank you for your feedback

    I've been low carb for many years. Dana Carpender was the first low carb author I ever started following. I have all of her books. This one doesn't disappoint. She does a pretty good job in the beginning of the book explaining the keto diet so this is a stand alone book if you're new to the diet. If you are not, it's pretty easy to skip and go right to the recipes.

    I don't know how she continues to come up with new and delicious recipes! I've brought several of her salads to work this week and they were all fantastic and kept me going until I got home for dinner. This book has appetizers, snacks, main dishes, side dishes, desserts - basically anything you need. Her books do not have pictures; that's fine by me. It would make the book way too heavy. With so many recipes will find something your family will love. My husband and son actually love her recipes more than other keto recipe books.

    One side note - I'm gf (severe allergy), worcestershire sauce has gluten in it so you need to keep that in mind when making the recipes if you are trying to stay gf. (I sub coconut aminos; probably not similar enough but it works for me.)

    The recipe seem to be extremely good. The index is easy to access. If you want to find a meatloaf recipe you look under M for meatloaf. Not G for grandma's meatloaf, or something dumb like that. Nothing irritates me more than an index that can't be used quickly. If I want to bake something I want to do it the same day, and not spend an entire day flipping through all the recipes trying to find what I'm looking for. it also has a very clear nutritional count listed for all the recipes in the book. I need the carb count and it is clearly registered. I am very happy with this book and feel like I wasted money on the other books that I ordered prior to this. But at least now, I have a book that I can use. I hope this helps some of you like me, who don't want to spend all day thumbing through cookbooks, when your ground beef is ready to use.

    I bought this book because I was tired of searching Pinterest for more Keto food ideas. I have been eating Keto for almost two months. What is best about this book is that the first chapter tells you about the keto friendly ingredients that you should become familiar with, including a description of each. What a fantastic way to begin! The book is separated into many categories from Apps, side dishes, salads, dressings, beef, chicken, seafood etc. In addition there is an index in the back. Look up salmon and voila! Side note, the salmon bisque recipe in here was absolutely delicious!

    Dana Carpender is a name I trust. I’ve had her low-carb cookbooks for years, and I love them. I use them almost as much as my mother’s beloved Betty Crocker cookbook.

    My doctor has recently been encouraging me to make the not-far jump from low-carb to keto. But it seems so overwhelming! And my husband and children need more variety than I do. I was so excited to see her come out with a keto cookbook that was so detailed and sensible. With chapters devoted specifically to snacks and munchies, baked goods, eggs, side salads, hot sides, poultry, fish/seafood, beef, port/lamp, main dish salads, soups, condiments, beverages, and desserts, this book is truly a compendium of keto wisdom! I can’t wait to work my way through the whole book, much like I’ve done with her low-carb books.

    I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a sensible, do-able keto recipe book with simple ingredients and clear directions.

    I gratefully received this book as an eARC from the author, publisher, and NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased review. But I loved it so much, I bought a copy for myself.

    I'm a fan of Dana's, I have several of her older low-carb books. I don't like to spend time cooking, nor shop for a bunch of ingredients. These recipes have way too many ingredients. I was looking for recipes more basic than these. Most recipes have at least 10 ingredients minimum. I'll probably end up donating this book and stick to her older cookbooks.

    I absolutely love the book. I have been eating and cooking low carb since 2004 and thought I had seen every version of every recipe on earth. I was thrilled when I opened the book to see fresh new ideas and innovation on classic dishes. The first few chapters are educational and just an all around good read. This is a must have for those living a sugar and grain free lifestyle. There are easy every day dishes and ones that are more high end (duck, lamb, lobster - oh my!) And I'm a sucker for a good sauce or condiment to elevate a meal. My favorite part is the clear voice of the author throughout. It makes keto cooking feel approachable and friendly.

    Also the book has a glossy cover, nice paper quality and a good heft to it. Makes a perfect gift, get one for you and a friend.

    This is a great cookbook within many variations and it's peppered with humor in the recipes and recipe titles. Even if I'm not looking for a specific recipe, I enjoy reading the commentary. It's the only cookbook that seems to be truly keto compliant. I am very pleased also with the nutrition break down of each recipe. Lots of great information about ingredients in the first section. I also like that there are just a few ingredients in each recipe that you likely already have or can easily find. The instructions are also very easy to understand.

    Dana Carpender has been my low carb goddess since I read her very first book many many years ago. She then turned to writing cookbooks and I have loved every one of them. This one is probably her best, and it is all you need to get started on the ketogenic journey, or to expand your repertoire of delicious low carbohydrate food. Her recipes are delicious and easy to follow, her writing style is engaging, and the food is delicious.

    If you are looking for keto/low carb/paleo cooking ideas, this book should be on your shelf.
