I’m loving this book and the easy to follow recipes and ideas. It’s a beginner book for sure. Nothing too complicated. If you’re already skilled in all things keto then this book might not be fore you. The recipes are sometimes just ideas of what to grab at the salad bar to make a “meal”. Macro counts are included. Tips on what to get at the store to make a easy and quick meal are in there too. Overall, I’m enjoying this book and all of the tips and tricks.

I can always appreciate a cookbook that caters to those who live on their own and aren't looking to make a meal for a family of five.

So I really enjoyed this cookbook alot especially for one person. The only thing I would recommend, as I am visual Person was to see more photos attached to some of the recipes. But overall I really the Keto Recipes and now I can make my own dressings, ketchup (yes ketchup fan here). So I would recommend this to anyone willing to make their own food at home. Just make sure to double for other people too.

This is a really useful little book, whether you’re familiar with or new to keto principles. Dana Carpender explains how it works and there are useful tips about buying food, preparation, use of sweetners etc.

I like the fact that the majority of the recipes are very easy to prepare and cook, but they’re also tasty. For anyone wanting to really kick carbs into touch, there’s enough variety here, with simple to find ingredients that will keep you on track. Many of the recipes can be doubled up for two ( or more) to follow and there are also many which could be served with pasta, potatoes or rice, for example, for family members who aren’t on keto.

Well thought out and a great starter book. My thanks to the publisher for a review copy via Netgalley.

recipes seem easy to follow and some nice extra tips and information. A nice variety of meal / food ideas and resources at the end which I have not seen in a number of cookbooks. But it does help those who want to use them.

This is a pretty standard keto cookbook. Overall, I enjoyed it and think it is a cookbook that many would also enjoy

The things I loved:
-Nutritional facts- surprisingly many cookbooks completely, and unfortunately, omit these.
-Pictures- there were pictures for roughly half of the recipes. I enjoyed browsing the pictures for each that contained one.
-Helpful notes and "extras" throughout
-The desserts looked delicious

The things I didn't love:
-I was hard-pressed to find a main course that actually looked or sounded good to me. There were a lot of expensive and/or ethnic ingredients. And overall just a lot of meats that I don't care for. I think this is a personal preference though so I did not take away any stars due to this.
-It would have been nice to have more pictures. I don't feel like I can complain when half the book has them but I prefer when ever recipe has one. Call me picky but I'm a tired mom who doesn't have the creative energy to translate the words of a recipe into a picture, so I need a picture in order to convince me to make it.

I really liked this book! Dana cuts through the long drawn out explanations and gets right to the point. I've read books like this and to be honest skipped through a lot of it but not this one. Full color pictures and great recipes! Anyone starting Keto needs to have this book. I'm buying a copy of this one!

The Keto For One Cookbook is great for beginners or those who are looking for some new recipes. I love that the recipes are designed for one person (or two people) and the author also gives lots of suggestion on how to get the ingredients you need in small amounts (such as the salad bar, buy frozen vegetables, etc). The author explains the basics of the Keto diet in an easy to understand way and then provides a variety of recipes for sides, main meals, soups, snacks, sweets, condiments, sauces and even drinks! Thank you to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds Press for an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

Amazing ketosis cookbook. Can't wait to try so many of these recipes and have more of a variety of food on keto.

The Keto For One. Fun easy to read cookbook. Great to have ingredients in grams for the UK readers. I always like cookbooks for one as it is easier to bulk up if needed.. The reciepes look straightforward with ingredients that are easy to fine. I am looking forward to trying these out.

This book had great tips with recipes that were clear and easy to follow. Will definitely be trying out many of the recipes!

I was so excited to be granted an opportunity to review this book since 1) I'm not sure what the keto diet is, and 2) I definitely prefer cooking for 1 to limit meal repetition/waste. I thought keto was super specific, but this book clarified it for me (any diet low enough in carbs to burn fat as source of fuel). It was a bit too much information to read/retain, but I know other readers may have better retention (I blame Netflix!) The recipes seem simple enough and slightly new (frozen riced cauliflower?!, wasabi crab salad lettuce wraps, grilled flanken?) that make me excited to try. My only wish is that the book be laid out in a more modern way (typesetting, graphic design) since sometimes it was difficult for me to scan through. But then again, it forces me to pay attention, so that's not a bad thing :) I liked this book as a 'keto starter' and plan to try the recipes/ingredients new to me since I'm bored eating chicken/turkey for weeks straight!

This cookbook pleasantly surprised me. The beginning text had me prepared for coconut and stevia heavy based recipes in the forthcoming pages but I was thrilled to see that wasn't the case. I found the recipes to be incredibly accessible. However, I was quite confused to find so many references to picking up a smattering of veggies off a salad bar - something that's not only not feasible for most people but it's extremely cost prohibitive. Many veggies can be frozen so if you really want carrots, pull one from the freezer and grate as necessary, I suppose - but with keto, I would rather do without all together. The tips for making the dishes in single portions left me wanting. I also found the book in general to be too veggie heavy with little emphasis on fat. I was hoping for more protein focused dishes and how to make that occasionally difficult fat target satisfied with fattier cuts of meat. It was nice to see cuts of pork I'd never known how to cook and I would have loved to see that extended to beef, lamb, chicken, fish, etc. The variety was lacking a little but I suppose that has much to do with my seasoned veteran keto lens and the flavor profiles should satisfy any basic keto cook.

I've been doing keto for about a week now and have ditched carbs, I feel better, but I'm also lost and not sure what to eat besides bacon and chicken breast. This book explained a bit more about keto to help me understand what exactly is going on and how keto works. I now am more confident and excited to continue to keto diet. Another challenge that I faced that is addressed in this book is that it's recipes for one. This is exactly what I was looking for and I'm so thankful to have found this book. I'll definitely be recommending this to new and existing people who are on the keto diet.

Thank you Netgalley for an early copy of The Keto For One Cookbook, in exchange for an honest review.

I am a big fan of a healthy lifestyle and Keto diet and am always looking for new recipes and the fact that this book caters to one or two people instead of a family was very appealing. Dana Carpender begins with an overview of the diet and its origins then dives into her recipes. She covers all the major meals with additions for snacks, desserts and even a few cocktails thrown in for good measure. The recipes all include tips and tricks along with the nutritional facts. The offerings are a little more on the simple side but sound delicious and I am excited to try a few of the options.

A great cookbook. The book starts out with a brief overview of the Keto diet, then going into detail about keto friendly ingredients to use for cooking. This is excellent for beginners.

A lot of the recipes have pictures with them, which I love. It helps me have a visual of the end product.

The recipes range from basic to a bit more advanced. I love the concept of keto for one. Easy to follow instructions which include easy to find ingredients.

I will recommend this to all of my keto friends.

Dana Carpender has been practicing and writing about Keto for many years, even before Keto became the thing. Dana wrote about managing diabetes, insulin resistance and low carb recipes. Dana is an expert with personal and practical knowledge. Her latest book Keto for One Cookbook is super helpful for singles, couples or those that are making it on their own following a Keto diet in a family. Helpful tips, keto pantry essentials and easy to follow recipes are part of this book. Another wonderful addition to the Dana Carpender list of books and library.

This was a good keto cookbook. My only beef is that it is pretty short. The tips for buying portions for 1 seemed pretty outlandish to me and it made me feel like to be keto I needed to live quite close to a grocery store and go often. This is fine if you live in a large city, but if you don’t I may struggle to implement these. I do like the idea of just having a cookbook for one since there are plenty of single people or people who are the only person following a plan in a house.

This cookbook makes doing the keto lifestyle simple and delicious. The recipes are simple to follow and are not boring at all. Cant wait to try out more recipes from this cook book. a must read for all ketogenic lifestyle enthusiasts and ones that are curious about keto

I chose to read this book because I need to radically improve my nutrition and have now started on a low carb diet. So a recipe book for one person made a lot of sense to me, as variety of tastes is one of the things that really make a difference when you are pursuing s long term weight loss strategy.
I enjoyed the common sense explanation at the front of the book which lays out exactly what and why a ketogenic diet is and also contains some useful suggestions for cooking oils and other cooking susbstances which advance the low carb diet.
The recipes are simple and straightforward and gave me some good ideas to vary the tastes for my palate. Lots of eggs, unsurprisingly, but also making lots of flavours and different textures. I found out about mayonnaise with MCT (coconut) oil and how to make chocolate-peanut butter no bakes. Sounds fab, I know, but Dana Carpender is no novice to this style of eating and cooking. Her sweet treats section comes with a stern warning: “.
Overall, though it is quite American in approach, I think this is a really useful recipe book to use in conjunction with your own calorie counting and carb watching regime. I’ll certainly be trying out more of these recipes as I go along.
