Not Mark Twain: I've been getting a lot of cookbooks lately to learn what to do with an instant pot and air fryer, and how to eat lower carbs due to a recent diabetes diagnosis. I have not been impressed with hardly any of them - poorly written, desperately in need of an editor or translator, self-published on cheap paper with clumsy or nonexistent formatting, and zero pictures.

I've known about chaffles for a while and have a collection of saved recipes on Pinterest, which I'll probably never use. While this was the most expensive (but still only eighteen USD) recipe book for them, it looked intriguing. There are ample recipes, the Table of Contents is actually usable, I found zero typos, the grammar was correct (gasp!) although I wasn't surprised that she lives in the United Kingdom (it wasn't QUITE American-speak), every single recipe starts on its own page AND HAS A FULL-COLOR PICTURE OF THE item, and the paper is glossy and substantial. It feels like how recipe books pre-self-publishing used to be.

I saw criticism of the "exotic" ingredients the author includes in her recipes in some reviews, and I gotta say - um, we can't continue to eat what we always have and expect anything...

S.A.D.: The recipes are useful, and for me I want to see pictures…I sent back others, but this one is a keeper!

pilothaggard: I really like this cookbook. Lots of good ideas.

The one thing you have to watch is the carb and other nutrition counts. Its pretty obvious they make the servings whatever they need to be to hit the low carb description. For instance, there is a recipe that requires you to cut the little chaffles into TWELVE servings! I don't think you actually.could even if you wanted to. So, if you cut it into a typical four your carb count just tripled ND it's no longer "low" carb. Some recipes have way too little filling or icing - again keeps the carb count low. ALL of them need salt. The recipes stay away from any salt, and it shows in the flat flavor. The cream cheese icing has no butter. Literally cream cheese and cream. So, tinker with the recipes, and buy the book for the great variety of ideas. Oh, and there are two styles.of chaffles, every day for biscuits, breads, etc and a sweet version for the desserts. The chocolate ones actually taste like cake and do NOT use almond flour!

JennyJenny: I am absolutely delighted by this book!
I have been following the author on Instagram for a long time.
I follow the KETO WOE since 2016, and cook a lot. Martina Slajerova ( @ketodiet_app ) has been a great inspiration.
This book on KETO waffles (or Chaffles) Is amazing !
I LOVE the taste of both savoury and sweet waffles, and to my delight, my kids are fans too.

I recommend this book to any Ketoistout there.

Ce livre est un pur bonheur !

Je suis son auteur sur Instagram depuis longtemps, et suis le régime cétogène depuis 2016. Je cuisine aussi beaucoup.
Martina Slajerova m’inspire beaucoup dans les plats.

Ce livre sur les gaufres keto est fabuleux! J’adore autant les sucrées que les salées.
Et les enfants se régalent aussi ! Tout gagné!!

Je le recommande vivement !

deb: I purchased this book outright. I have a number of Martina's cookbooks and she does not disappoint. We've made some type of chaffle every day since receiving the book ... such as eggs in a hole, blueberry waffles (made with blackberries), bagel chaffles for open-faced summer sandwiches, the peanut butter chocolate sandwich, savory chaffles for ham and swiss sandwiches. One thing we've missed since going low carb is bread ... many keto bread recipes just haven't been satisfying so we usually do meat and cheese roll-ups and skip the bread for lunches - we eat more veggies which is a good thing.

A couple of tips. I've used our regular waffle maker after locating it in storage and giving it a good cleaning as it has been years since its last use. It makes savory chaffles just fine, but sweet ones tend to stick more. I had purchased the little Mini-Dash when I purchased the cookbook - it works great for the sweet chaffles (as well as the savory). It may not be practical for a family but it's fine for the two of us. When you put the batter on (I've had to add a little almondmilk to a few batches to thin the batter some as it can be very thick), let the batter sit on the hot...

Amazon Customer: This is one of my favorite keto cookbooks. The instructions and ingredients are simple but the ideas and results are clever and delicious. It has smart recipes like bagel chaffles, chaffle lasagna and even chaffle birthday cake.
Instead of using a mini waffle maker as recommended I use the WellBake Silicone Waffle tray you could find on Amazon and it works really well.
The book is created that you use basic Sweet and Savory Chaffles and then add some few toppings to make a meal ad this is the best because you can easily make the chaffles ahead and store them in the freezer.
There are also ideas to create egg-free, dairy-free, nut-free and vegan chaffles and a basic waffle recipe and I am really grateful for that because in the last few weeks it happens a lot that you could not find some ingredients in the store. I tried egg free versions and it worked pretty well.
I like the small format of the book, it is very practical when you do not have that much space on the countertop. There are photo and nutrional facts of every recipe.
I think everyone you loves lowcarb and keto diet must have this book.

GnuismGnuism: What can I say? I never thought I would need a book about keto and low carb "chaffles" (low carb sweet or savoury waffles made with cheese, for the uninitiated) but I am so glad I treated myself to a copy of this! Martina's recipes are always creative and so delicious, I have almost never had a fail when making her recipes (I own 4 other books of hers and am a long-time fan of her blog and app). The recipes in this book are no exception, and the few I have tried so far have been wonderful -- My favourites so far are the Rosemary Garlic Olive Focaccia chaffles and of course the essential Savoury Chaffles, which are incredibly versatile and can even be used with sweet toppings. I can't wait to try the various sweet chaffles as quick desserts, the No-tella Sandwich Chaffles, Tiramisu Chaffles, Banoffee Chaffles, Lemon Poppy Seed Chaffles are all screaming at me (in a good way!) The book is written extremely well, with fantastic pictures and simple instructions, and is very easy to navigate, including the index, which lists both chaffles recipe titles as well as ingredients. As always, Martina has once again ensured that the book contains dairy-free, nut free and egg free options for...
