WilletfelWilletfel: The recipes look good, I am going to be preparing the first ones tonight but I am disappointed that this book is supposed to be new but has notes from someone. It's used.

Shopaholic: I have recently been diagnosed with ME and keto really helps manage my symptoms of extreme fatigue but I found most meals need to be cooked fresh when needed. This doesn’t work for me, at the end of my day I’m lucky to be able to stand for 10 minutes without being in immeasurable pain so I knew that in order to be able to start and maintain keto, I would need to prep in the mornings when I have the most energy and also need to freeze meals for my bad days when I’m bed bound and unable to move.
I’ve bought a few cookbooks in the past and I’ve read through and been disheartened at the recipes, feeling unable to achieve them without facing consequences to my health. This book however, is absolutely amazing. There’s a few soups (we don’t eat soup but this book has made me want to try) but it’s mostly main courses that not only can be frozen, take minimal effort to throw together and look absolutely immense! I read someone else say it’s the first cookbook that has made them want to try EVERYTHING and I can whole heartedly relate to this and it’s made me extremely excited for my journey ahead. I’ve never felt that going keto was more doable with ease and...

Amazon Customer: Recipes look good but I needed to look up some of the items as they are not available locally and there are a lot of American names for ingredients. I like cookery books that have recipes I can just look at and do without having to refer to other sources.

L. Gugliotti: I've made the pork lo mein (pretty good), the beef bourguignon (is this really keto?), the smashed cauliflower (ok), the sausage frittata (these are pretty standard keto). I'm looking forward to making many of the other main dishes. I am a person who likes to get a bunch of dishes cooked and eat it over the next few days. This works for me, and I am using these recipes and Diane Sanfilippo's Keto book in tandem. It's been 6 weeks and I am not bored with the food yet, however, it's a LOT of meat for people who are not used to eating meat. Before, I would have beef and pork a few times a month, and eggs a few times a week, and now I am eating it daily. Never had one issue with my cholesterol before, so we'll see how the cholesterol levels are in a few months!!!!

Update: this is the keto book i keep coming back to in the colder months. Many recipes are excellent. I have had trouble with the desserts being burnt in slow cooker but now i cut time in half for those. The skillet recipes have all been really delicious!

MELMEL: BUY this now if you are doing Keto!!
So far, I've made three recipes out of this cookbook and all have been HITS! The Lemon Drizzle cake on page 191 is divine. The New York Cheesecake with Chocolate Ganache on page 200 and the Broccoli Cheese Soup have been delicious too!
Slow-cooking is the best way for me to prep a decent dinner for my teenagers and myself, since I work full time. Having the ability to make Keto easy through slow cooking has tremendously helped me to stay in ketosis. Highly recommend!!
If you don't have a Whole Foods nearby, then order ahead from Amazon some key ingredients you will need to make the desserts; Swerve sweetners, sugar free vanilla extract or powder, almond flour, coconut flour, Lilly's chocolate chips.

Michelle J. Kenoyer: I have to admit that I was a little skeptical about the Keto way of eating when I perceived its emphasis on fat as the primary dietary ingredient above all else. Martina's cookbook dispelled the myths I'd envisioned about having meals with nothing but lard, bacon, and other saturated fats--her recipes use lots of fresh vegetables, fresh and dried herbs, and a variety of spices. You won't find a lot of packaged foods in Martina's cookbook--if any--and given that the cookbook focuses on meals that one can prepare in a crock pot or a single Dutch oven or deep skillet, you'll save time and headaches as well.

Since we've added this cookbook to our culinary library, I've prepared many meals for my family using Martina's Keto recipes. Her meals are flavorful and substantial--we've never felt as if we're eating "diet food" or skimping on our dinners! Our two teenage sons are notoriously picky eaters--especially our younger son--yet he told me after eating Martina's Keto-friendly Coq au Vin that it's one of his favorite homemade chicken dishes! Other favorites in our house: Salmon Chowder, Quick Meatball Casserole, Ranch Chicken Casserole, and Cajun Andouille Gumbo.

If this...

PJ: I've been trying to stick with a Keto diet and was very interested in consolidating my cooking to slow cookers and one pots. I will say that there seems to be more one pot meals than slow cooker recipes and the slow cooker aspect is the main reason I got it. Regardless, most of the recipes are really good and we've enjoyed them. I did like that she did more than just add a bunch of cheese to recipes to make them Keto. I'm a pretty avid cook and I did find that most of the recipes were either things I had seen elsewhere or had made up something similar myself. However, I did let my mother (who is not a big cook) borrow it and she really enjoyed it.

Devs: I like the design of the book apart from the font used in the recipes names as it makes it a bit hard on the eyes. There is plenty of recipes I will try and I do love Martina's recipes. The reason I have taken a star off is that I have the Keto Cookbook by Martina, and do use her blog and the KetoDietApp and noticed that some recipes were already published there. The basics, the kohlrabi and pork stew is in both books, and few more can easily be found in the blog and app.

That said it is not many recipes that are repetitive and it is not a big deal, just a bit annoying as you may end up paying a few times for access to the same recipe. Other that that, they are all great.

Gabi Voigt: This book is okay. I didn't find it particularly inspiring. A lot of the recipes have way to many ingredients for my liking. Another thing that bugs me is that the instructions are written in one or two huge paragraphs. I prefer numbered step by step instructions. If you look away or get distracted the step by step makes it easier to find where you left off.

I do however prefer cookbooks with colour photos just for an idea of how the finished product will look.

FINALLY I have to comment that I so much more enjoyed Martina's book, Quick Keto in 30 Minutes or Less. That book I would give 5 stars. Find myself constantly going to it.
