If you love cheese and vegetables (which I do), this is the cookbook for you. the dishes are rich and delicious AND will keep you in ketosis. and I love the way the Laskas are so honest about their successes and failures and don't try to be all high brow and fancy. But my favorite thing is how they take all those dishes you miss on a keto diet and come up with a reasonable facsimile that is keto friendly.

The Dirty, Lazy, Keto,Cookbook is a good cookbook for beginners trying to understand the Keto diet. It is easy to understand.

I love this book. Stephanie has taught me to do Keto the easy way. I have lost weight and feel so much better!! The recipes are very good and I love the Weekend Omlette. Most recipes are made with easy to find ingredients.
Many thanks to Adams Media and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

I did like this book and am hoping that the fact that the formatting was totally off was just because it was on my Kindle app on my phone because it looked really strange. That being said, the content was well laid out and in spite of it being a cookbook, I found myself actually reading it all the way through as if it were a story. Full disclosure I neither prepared any of the recipes nor actually have any proof that this author's version of keto is actually effective, but if the recipes, in fact, taste good and are actually keto (meaning if you eat exclusively what is specified in here you will go into ketosis and lose weight) then this book is excellent. The ingredient lists are simple and short and the methods are easy to follow. The author is relatable. Often on food blogs, the author has a lot of backstory before the recipe that is verbose and not very interesting, but this is a story of a regular person who uses wit to tie her fitness journey together.
The only complaint I have besides the format (and I am giving the benefit of the doubt that it will be fixed in the final print version) is that personally I prefer LOTS of photos in cookbooks. Literally, one reason I even buy cookbooks is so I can see pics of the final product and there is maybe one pic per 3 or more recipes. She somewhat makes up for it by the fact that it is entertaining to read, but more pictures would really enhance this book and possibly give it 5 stars for me.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this book.

I know a few people who have found success with different varieties of Keto and am happy to see more resources and cookbooks become available regarding them.
I love this book!
Everything you need to do Dirty, Lazy Keto is here without having to read paragraph after paragraph to justify it. Laska isn't trying to convince you this can work. Laska is saying this has worked for her and here are tools and information she used to succeed.
The DIRTY, LAZY, KETO Cookbook includes 100 recipes, each that include less than 10 net carbs per serving. The variety of entrees and snacks are made with food found in regular grocery or big box stores. There are no crazy ingredients involved, just the way to incorporate them.

The DIRTY, LAZY, KETO Cookbook by Stephanie and William Laska was a gem to dive into. I found the author's style to be fun, open and similar to chatting with a friend about real life nutrition. She talks about the path she took and invites readers to explore and find a path that works for them. She is a relief to read in the day of Keto Police reprimanding each and every thing that doesn't fall into strict keto guidelines. Lets face it, there are many people who have lost incredible amounts of weight by altering keto to fit their lifestyle. A judgement and guilt free zone is what we are all looking for to investigate what works AND what doesn't for our chemistry.
The beginning of this book is super helpful on the basics of a keto way of eating, useful for both the beginner and the knowledgeable. There are pages of grocery lists included complete with net carb counts. The selection of recopies is amazing. The author also states that if you don't like one, skip over it. Don't like an ingredient? Swap it out with another and make it your own. She doesn't require ingredients that are hard to find or out of most household budgets (i.e.: Dolla Store Pumpkin Soup). The recipes range from the simple (Olive Garden Salad) to the gourmet (Basil Coconut Curry Shrimp).
I have read many Keto cookbooks and this one is by far the most useful for me. I will be revisiting it time and time again. Many thanks to Netgalley and Adams Media for the opportunity to read this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. Of note, I have never given another keto cookbook a 5 star rating!

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this! This is a great book. VERY AWESOME recipes and very easy to follow along. This js a great diet book and is nice for anyone wanting to eat healthy! I highly recommend.

I love that someone wrote a Dirty/Lazy keto cookbook! This is really great for beginners who are trying to understand keto. The cookbook has great pictures and is organized in a great way. The recipes are clear and easy to understand. I love the macros in the book too! Thanks for giving me access to this book!

Thank you netgalley for an early copy in exchange for an honest review.
I have been following the Keto style diet for a while and am always looking for new recipes and ideas to make the lifestyle as enjoyable as possible. Stepahnie Laska's is a simpler and more relaxed approach to the stick diet. She is not about counting every morsel and has adapted the diet strategy to her real life and has successfully lost 140lbs. The cookbook has a nice mix of meal options, includes yummy pictures and tips to making each dish more enjoyable. I have tried a couple of the options and am looking forward to adding more to my repertoire. This is a great cookbook for Keto dabblers and beginners or just health conscious people looking to expand their healthy meal options.

The Dirty, Lazy, Keto cookbook by Stephanie Laska is a Keto guided cookbook containing short cuts and totes a more budget friendly food lists, ideas and recipes for those who want to try Keto but simply don’t see themselves surviving all the restrictions. This book was a quick read once I mentally overlooked the spelling and editing mistakes.
I believe the copy I received was probably not yet edited. I wanted to read as I have been researching Keto for a months online and other, reading finds to decide if I am indeed going to try it. This book did not contain any information that I had not previously been able to find online but the author peppered it with snapshots of her life and such to attempt to set it apart. This did not help to make the book interesting or make one feel, this is a keeper. Its saving grace is that it tries to make the reader feel like keto can be attempted without stringent restrictions and that dieting should and can be approached in whatever way fits one best. I would not personally purchase this book
This copy was provided to me through netgallery and the opinions I impart are honest , freely given and completely my own.

If you've ever read a Keto cookbook, you know a lot of times the recipes are overly complicated, and let's face it, don't sound very appealing. This book is different. First of all, Stephanie is very down to earth--if you've read her Dirty, Lazy, Keto book, you know she is not into fuss. This is a great cookbook for people who want simple, tasty recipes that your family would probably enjoy, too. I'm not "keto" per se but always looking to cut down on carbs and this cookbook is a great way to start!

Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy of The Dirty Lazy Keto Cookbook!
Now this is my kind of cookbook! I haven’t made any of the recipes yet but I’ve bookmarked quite a few that sound really good. I’m a very picky eater and most recipes consist of ingredients I like. The recipes themselves also look pretty simple. There’s nothing worse than finding a picture of something that makes your mouth water, then flipping to the 70-step recipe, am I right?? Definitely a keeper for me!

Amazing recipes for anyone on the Keto diet. The author lets you know you don't have to stick strict to the recipe but things are interchangeable in it The recipes are delicious and the authors story is inspirational. Keto works!

Looking to live the keto lifestyle? This cookbook will help you get there. Notice, I didn't call it a diet. It's a lifestyle. It's about changing how you view food and this cookbook helps pave the way to eating nutritious yet delicious food. You get to learn about the keto lifestyle and why it works, and this lesson in science and nutrition isn't boring at all! I've only been able to make one recipe so far - the copycat Starbucks egg bites - but it was so easy to follow and was delicious! I had been looking for a good recipe dupe for a while and this was it! I look forward to trying out more recipes when I have the chance.
This cookbook comes out on January 7, 2020... put it on your to buy list!

Do not judge a book by its cover! The graphic design of Dirty, Lazy, Keto reminds me of those freebies you can get that are just a churning of the same 100 recipes with a single ingredient change but what you'll find beneath the cover is anything but run-of-the-mill. The heartfelt, honest, and sophisticated approach that Stephanie Laska writes within mirrors my own experience with keto. She writes what she knows in the best way possible - the result is a logical and HEALTHY introduction to the ketogenic lifestyle. And most of all, she's concise about it. The book is worth purchasing just for chapter 1 - forget the recipes!
But we should really talk about the recipes. I'll forgive her for using coconut flour in dishes that aren't meant to taste like coconut (my biggest pet peeve) because she offers a true variety. You'll find oatmeal and baked ziti amongst the usual jalapeno poppers and cheesecake. The names of the recipes are creative and fun. It's a delightful, comprehensive selection of keto on a budget.
Overall, the bones of this cookbook are stellar. It just needs a fancier package for my taste. Slap on a sophisticated cover and add tons more beautiful photos and I'll be gifting this book to friends come holiday time like nobody's business.

I have read several keto books and some are strict and some have too many ingredients. This is my kind of keto book. Easy and simple. I’m still new to the keto diet and I am nervous about change. This book makes it so easy for me to understand and the recipes are fantastic. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is starting keto.
I was given an ARC from Netgalley in return for an honest review

I always been overweight, my whole life and I tried a lot of diets but nothing seems to stick.
I found Mrs Laskas Story very encouraging and some of the recipes very yummy.
But there are also a lot of ingredients that I don't approve like aspartame so I think some of the stuff is manageable and can help a lot but you have to be very conscious and look what stuff you want to eat and what's not good for you and your body.
But I am very thankful that I got the chance to read this book.

Another Keto recipe book to review today, it's just gone 10 in the morning here and I'm already looking forward to dinner! The Dirty, Lazy, Keto cookbook is for those dieters who are open to artificial sweeteners and some packaged food as part of the diet and count the carbs they eat per day rather than the whole macro nutrients.
With the contents there are picture keys next to each recipe, however the explanation of those keys is not explained until page 15, far too far into the book. This should be first in my opinion. The introduction is interesting about her journey to weight loss, but also feels like an online blog post. In fact, all the chapter introductions feel like blog posts, especially when a chunk of the text is highlighted.
In the first two chapters there is a Keto food pyramid for how to spend your daily net carbs, along with an explanation on how to calculate the net carbs from a food label. There is a grocery list and includes the net carbs and is split into diary, protein, produce (fruit & veg), drinks, baking, sauces & spices, cans & jars and miscellaneous alongside a list of foods that are good to get your started such as Zoodles (courgetti) and cauliflower rice and sugar substitutes. Also included is a list of foods to avoid as they are high in carbs, There is also a list of equipment that might be needed, from containers to cooking items.
The recipes are split into:
- Breakfast
- Soups and Salads
- Snacks
- Breads, pasta and pizza
- Sides
- Main dishes
- Drinks and Desserts
The recipes comes with a small introduction, a list of ingredients though the measurements and oven temperatures are in imperial only, steps to follow, shows the net carbs, other nutritional information, servings size and preparation and cooking times. Some of the recipes come with a colour photograph.
The recipes look interesting to make for the whole family and there are certainly a few there that I would like to try, especially some of the pizza bases as they look like an interesting alternative to the traditional dough.
At the back of the book there is a glossary and a metric conversion chart for measurements, pan sizes and oven temperatures, though no Gas Mark.
I received this book from Netgalley in return for a honest review.

I love this cookbook not just because I'm a self proclaimed lazy keto dieter but because it's an honest real life story from someone I can proclaim as a diet champion. That is not to say I will use every recipe or it's perfect. What I'm saying is it's open honest, refreshing and filled with solid ideas on how not too keto yourself into an anxiety attack and still successfully lose weight.
If your a die hard keto person you wont like this book so just skip it. If you want to keto for life but keep it simple real and do-able you may be in heaven with it.
I like the honest approach no judgment bend the rules approach and I've found plenty of recipes to use and/or modify to my taste.
This book is fun whitty and has tons of recipes I enjoy. Also the author is very responsive to questions and as stated in the book sent me a printable shopping list. I'm actually pretty impressed by that. I received this book for an honest review and I say if your a flexible keto dieter you should give it a try.

I tend to lean more towards clean Keto, but wanted some splurge recipes for those times you want something different but still want to stay keto. This cookbook did not hit the spot for me. There are of course a handful of recipes I would make but most of them I wouldn't. And this cookbook is really likes going after fastfood recipes for example: Tacobell Strawberry Freeze, Starbucks Eggbites, and McDonalds's Cheeseburger Soup. I have never been the biggest fan of fastfood so it just doesn't fit me.
