This cookbook is titled for "beginners" and I believe that it would be a very good choice for the reader that is looking for a simple and straightforward cookbook。The beginning part of the book includes a "getting started" section that covers helpful topics such as: how the keto diet works， ingredients that are frequently used， kitchen tools worthy of having for ease of preparation， and 14 days worth of sample menus。。。。using recipes from the book。 I prefer for menus to have coordinating page num This cookbook is titled for "beginners" and I believe that it would be a very good choice for the reader that is looking for a simple and straightforward cookbook。The beginning part of the book includes a "getting started" section that covers helpful topics such as: how the keto diet works， ingredients that are frequently used， kitchen tools worthy of having for ease of preparation， and 14 days worth of sample menus。。。。using recipes from the book。 I prefer for menus to have coordinating page numbers for the featured recipes， but this does not include that， unfortunately。Then the remaining chapters in the book are packed with recipes in typical sections of the different types of proteins， sides， breads， appetizers/snacks， and even desserts。 I found many recipes that I would like to try。 I'm very particular about how recipes are formatted and this author did an excellent job of making the recipes easy to follow with ingredients listed in order of use in the dish， directions that have just the right amount of information， notes that may be needed for substitutions or something that may be helpful， and nutritional information。 Basically everything the cook needs to know， but put in a way that enhances your success in precisely the way a cookbook should be put together。I can easily recommend Simple Keto Meals for Beginners if you are looking for a book to dip your toe in the keto lifestyle and want a nice selection of well thought out recipes to get you started。 I received an advanced copy from NetGalley， all opinions are mine alone。 。。。more

Food blogger Lisa MarcAurele has created a cookbook of simple， low-carb recipes using accessible ingredients。 The book starts with a brief explanation of the ketogenic diet and tips on topics such as weight loss， stocking your pantry， and food storage。 She also includes two sample weekly food plans。 The rest of the book consists of over 125 low-carb recipes in categories such as breakfast， breads， soups， sides， and main dishes。If you’re not used to eating a gluten-free or low-carb diet， you may Food blogger Lisa MarcAurele has created a cookbook of simple， low-carb recipes using accessible ingredients。 The book starts with a brief explanation of the ketogenic diet and tips on topics such as weight loss， stocking your pantry， and food storage。 She also includes two sample weekly food plans。 The rest of the book consists of over 125 low-carb recipes in categories such as breakfast， breads， soups， sides， and main dishes。If you’re not used to eating a gluten-free or low-carb diet， you may need to purchase a few basics， such as almond flour， flax seed meal， and monk fruit sweetener， but these shouldn’t be too hard to find。 Most of these recipes could be made with ingredients I already had on hand。The recipes are clearly written with helpful notes and include number of servings， prep and cook time， and basic nutrition information （very helpful for those of us who have to count carbs）。 Many of the recipes are designed for 2 servings， which I found convenient。I’ve tried quite a few of the recipes， with mostly good results。 The Quick Blueberry Muffins had an unusual texture， but made a quick and relatively tasty treat。 The Korean Beef was a little too sweet for me as written， but so easy to make。 I look forward to making it again with just a little less sweetener and more spice。 The Chicken Marsala was simple and delicious。 The Filipino Pancit was wonderful。 The Sautéed Green Beans & Mushrooms were very good， and the Braised Brussels Sprouts are one of our new favorites。This cookbook offers helpful guidance for those who are new to the keto diet or just need some new ideas for low-carb recipes。 With the nutrition info provided， this could also be a good choice for diabetics。 I was provided an ARC through NetGalley that I volunteered to review。 。。。more

Low Carb Yum Simple Keto Meals for Beginners is a how-to keto guide with recipes by Lisa Marcaurele。 Due out 28th Dec 2021 from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt on their Mariner imprint， it's 256 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats。 The introduction covers the basics of the keto lifestyle/diet， including a basic primer on ketosis， macronutrients， tips， ingredients， tools， supplies， how-to figure nutritional needs and planning to achieve weight loss。The following chapters incl Low Carb Yum Simple Keto Meals for Beginners is a how-to keto guide with recipes by Lisa Marcaurele。 Due out 28th Dec 2021 from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt on their Mariner imprint， it's 256 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats。 The introduction covers the basics of the keto lifestyle/diet， including a basic primer on ketosis， macronutrients， tips， ingredients， tools， supplies， how-to figure nutritional needs and planning to achieve weight loss。The following chapters include the recipes arranged roughly by category: breakfast， breads （！！！）， appetizers & snacks， soups & salads， side dishes， beef， poultry， pork， seafood， meatless dishes， and desserts。 The table of contents lists each recipe by name along with page location。Ingredient measurements are supplied in American standard measurements only。 The prep times， net carbs， servings， and tips and options are listed in well laid out sidebars。 The ingredients are listed in a bullet list followed by step by step directions。 Special categories （nut-free， paleo friendly， vegetarian， etc） are clearly marked on each recipe。 Nutritional information is included in a text box at the end of each recipe and includes: calories， fat， saturated fat， sodium， carbs， fiber， sugar， protein， net carbs， and carbs， protein and fat by percentage weight。The ingredients will be readily accessible for most readers and can be found at any well stocked grocery store。 There are very few exceptions and those can be sourced online or at health food stores （xanthan gum， granular monkfruit sweetener， and a couple others）。 One thing I noticed is that the recipes tend to be heavy on animal proteins。 There *are* vegetarian options， but they're not plentiful。 Many of the dishes also seemed a bit high on the calorie count for a book which is ostensibly about keto diet in regards to weight loss。Four stars。 I really like （and use） this cookbook。 One codicil， only roughly 20% of the recipes are accompanied by photographs。 The dishes and serving suggestions which are pictured are attractive and appropriate， however。Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes 。。。more

You will be saying Low Carb Yum after looking through this keto （and sometimes also paleo and vegan） cookbook。There are more than 125 recipes for all manner of meals included。 All recipes are for one or two servings。 They are easy to make and take around 30 minutes or less to make。There are twelve recipes for breakfast food alone。 I made the Mini Ham & Broccoli Frittatas， which were delicious。 The desserts include Fudgy Brownies and Carrot Mug Cakes， which both sound very Low Carb Yum。 There are You will be saying Low Carb Yum after looking through this keto （and sometimes also paleo and vegan） cookbook。There are more than 125 recipes for all manner of meals included。 All recipes are for one or two servings。 They are easy to make and take around 30 minutes or less to make。There are twelve recipes for breakfast food alone。 I made the Mini Ham & Broccoli Frittatas， which were delicious。 The desserts include Fudgy Brownies and Carrot Mug Cakes， which both sound very Low Carb Yum。 There are also chapters for main and side dishes， soups and salads， as well as appetizers。 The book also includes twelve recipes for breads including a chaffle and tortillas。If you follow a keto diet， Low Carb Yum is an excellent cookbook full of easy to prepare recipes。 My only complaint is that I wish every recipe had a picture。 4 stars！Thanks to Houghton Miffin Harcourt and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more

The recipes in this book are good， but the format is unusual， almost as if the steps are out of order。 The meals are portioned for one or two people but can easily be increased for family meals or meal prep。 The majority of them seem relatively simple to make with ingredients that are already on hand。 Someone who doesn't do a lot of cooking may want to start with something more basic but it's not a bad resource for an intermediate cook。 The recipes in this book are good， but the format is unusual， almost as if the steps are out of order。 The meals are portioned for one or two people but can easily be increased for family meals or meal prep。 The majority of them seem relatively simple to make with ingredients that are already on hand。 Someone who doesn't do a lot of cooking may want to start with something more basic but it's not a bad resource for an intermediate cook。 。。。more

I try to follow a low carb diet and found the Keto way really helps。 The recipes in this cookbook are great catalysts for trying new recipes and some old favorites in a new way。 You don’t have to give up foods that you enjoy。 Simply make some substitutions， and you’ll consume less carbs。 It is the healthy way to eat！

I was really intrigued by the title and yes it is right it is easy to use。 Non of the faff I have seen on the internet whilst I have been trying to reduce my carb intake。 The recipes also work for the rest of my family I was given an advance copy by netgalley and the publishers but the review is entirely my own。

Being a recent keto adopter， I found this recipe book very approachable and now have a few meals in rotation。 The recipes are direct， no fuss and the ones I’ve tried have been easy to make with plenty of leftovers to keep me satisfied and full throughout the week。

A great cookbook， that's organised well （by mealtimes and type of food/meat e。g。 breakfast， breads， main dish:beef） and has some appetising photos。 As I'm lactose intolerant， I found the key to other dietary requirements per recipe useful。 I thought the explanation on the Keto diet was informative and I loved the deep-dive into different Keto-friendly sweetners （who knew there were so many！）。 Lisa's writing style is easy-to-understand and she has a canny ability to explain complex ideas， simply。 A great cookbook， that's organised well （by mealtimes and type of food/meat e。g。 breakfast， breads， main dish:beef） and has some appetising photos。 As I'm lactose intolerant， I found the key to other dietary requirements per recipe useful。 I thought the explanation on the Keto diet was informative and I loved the deep-dive into different Keto-friendly sweetners （who knew there were so many！）。 Lisa's writing style is easy-to-understand and she has a canny ability to explain complex ideas， simply。 She is clearly well-informed。 I would describe her recipes as no fuss and I'm confident that as a beginner cook， I can manage them。 。。。more

Overall， didn’t think this recipe guide had very many unique dishes that make this all that much different from other keto cookbooks or recipes you can find on the web。 It seems like a lot of the recipes attempt to re-create higher carb meals or dishes to fit a keto lifestyle， but the author tends to make a lot of grainy “bread” using almond flour， uses plenty of keto sweeteners even in savory dishes， and tends to lean on xanthan gum or glucomannan as thickeners。 Not that there is anything wrong Overall， didn’t think this recipe guide had very many unique dishes that make this all that much different from other keto cookbooks or recipes you can find on the web。 It seems like a lot of the recipes attempt to re-create higher carb meals or dishes to fit a keto lifestyle， but the author tends to make a lot of grainy “bread” using almond flour， uses plenty of keto sweeteners even in savory dishes， and tends to lean on xanthan gum or glucomannan as thickeners。 Not that there is anything wrong with this approach， per se。 But for me， while I do find success in using those thickeners， I prefer to make keto meals that don’t seem to be a poor imitation of the “real” thing by using almond flour or monk fruit and erythritol to approximate those recipes — I generally like to make unique things that don’t have higher-carb standard versions already。 And I generally avoid things like cookies even if they are made of keto ingredients like almond flour， because I find they don’t help me avoid cravings for cookies and sweets later on。 Not a terrible cookbook， but not what I had hoped。 That said， I hadn’t considered a couple of the recipes before and will think of them now — for example， the shrimp bisque sounds excellent and I suppose I could adapt it to other shellfish like crab or lobster as well。 Overall， giving this 3 stars。 。。。more
