Synopsis: In 2013, the fifth-most Googled diet search term was
"ketogenic"; in 2014, it rose to number two. Now, The Ketogenic
Cookbook, one of the most highly anticipated cookbooks of 2015, is set to be
the ultimate resource for the growing number of people interested in eating a
low-carb, moderate-protein, high-fat diet to lose weight, improve their health,
and heal their bodies from the inside out. In this first-of-its-kind collection, Jimmy Moore, leading
low-carb diet blogger and podcaster and bestselling author of Keto Clarity,
joins forces with fellow keto advocate and nutritionist Maria Emmerich to bring
you more than 150 delicious, real food–based, keto-friendly recipes that are
ideal for anyone who wants to be in nutritional ketosis or simply wants to eat
healthier. In addition, The Ketogenic Cookbook explains why a ketogenic
diet can help treat chronic illnesses from type 2 diabetes to heart disease to
epilepsy, offers practical advice for pursuing nutritional ketosis, outlines
the unique combination of whole foods that will help you become ketogenic, and
much more. If you're seeking a healthier way to eat that will help heal
your body of damage done by years of eating tons of sugar and carbs, the
ketogenic diet may be for you. There's no need to sacrifice taste for good
health!

Review: As with many keto/low-carb/paleo books, the recipes here are
divided into two sorts –Basic Ideas (omelets and steaks) and Re-makes of “bad”
food (keto-fied muffins and ice cream). This is why, in general, I avoid these
sorts of books. It feels like a waste of money for someone to tell me how to
make scrambled eggs and meatballs.
However, with this book, I was pleasantly surprised. Yes,
many of the recipes were obvious items (the after mentioned omelets) but unlike
others, the authors focused make those items as Fat-Rich as possible. Instead
of just eliminating carbs, they created recipes that diligently and deliberately
increased the fat content of the food. This is precisely what you want in a
keto recipe book!
I have tried a few of their recipes and find them easier to
make. Some of the ingredients are expensive – but then, the keto/low-carb/paleo
diets aren’t for the economically-challenged, right?
Worth reading, to be sure. But I got mine at the library and
had no issue returning it nor did I have a compulsion to purchase my own copy. Better
than most, but not enough for me to buy.
