The book is so much more than a cookbook, it is a wealth of information which will no doubt help a lot of people, especially those that are just starting out on this journey. It actually explains the science behind this way of eating, and includes a meal plan which will be especially helpful to those of us that sometimes get overwhelmed.
The food (pictures) look absolutely yummy, and one glance at the recipe reassured me that I could replicated it. The recipes are well explained, and some of them even have URLs listed for videos that accompany them. The recipes each have icons that are extremely helpful, one glance can tell me if the recipe is egg free, nut free, dairy free, vegetarian, can be made in a slow cooker, can be made in one pot, or has a single serving option. Since I am the only member in my family that is currently following this diet, the single serving option will be especially useful for me.
When this book arrived, my husband rolled his eyes at me and asked "...another cookbook?". He then picked it up to skim through and almost immediately said "oooh, we'll have to try that chimichurri chicken!". For the record, this is my very first ketogenic specific cookbook and I loved it so much that I came back online and ordered the kindle version for my best friend. Well done, Maria...absolutely well done!
Update: I've had this book for almost a week now, the recipes are FANTASTIC. I just made (and ate) the Key lime Fat Bomb (pg 340), ...it was absolutely spot on!!!! 98 calories, 9.4g fat, 0.3g carbs, 3.3g protein. (plus a bit of cream on it that I added). It TASTES absolutely sinful!
