Everything looks delicious, but I can't eat sweeteners. Most recipies are useless to me.
In addition, the nutrition facts are kind of weird. The recipe gives 2 stacks of two chaffels, but the nutrition facts are for only 1. Maybe because it looks better if the sweet chaffels have <400 kcal.

This is a fun cookbook that gave me lots of new ideas to make waffles! Yum! These are so really great ideas & my daughter loved trying different combinations for her waffles!

I was excited that it said there were some vegan chaffles, but not enough for me. Since I am vegan, I found this to be greatly disappointing.

I always love Martina Slajerova’s cookbooks! Sweet & Savory Keto Chaffles is full of delicious looking recipes using a few different base recipes. There are a wide variety of recipes, and they range from super easy like blueberry chaffles, to more complicated like a birthday cake made from chaffles. I love all of her ideas, the instructions are straight forward and easy to follow and I can’t wait to make them all. As with all of her cookbooks, each recipe has beautiful photos to go with it, which I LOVE. She also includes easy to read nutritional information, which includes total carbs and net carbs!

If you haven’t experienced one of her cookbooks before, I highly suggest you check them out. She makes fun, low carb meals that would appeal to anyone, with easy at home ingredients. She continues to amaze me and is one of my favorite keto chefs!

Sweet & Savory Keto Chaffles is a perfect resource for those who follow the keto WOE. I remember when chaffles first hit mainstream and they were all anyone on keto could talk about. The only thing is, it was trial and error and placing your trust in that the way someone else posted their recipe was going to work for you. Martina Slajerova has put together a wonderful resource that is chock filled with recipes for chaffles. She has presented them in an easy to read format with great pictures and nutritional information. This book is truly user friendly. Perhaps its time for me to dig out that mini chaffle maker that has never seen the light of day? Many thanks to Fair Winds Press and Netgally for the opportunity to read an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I'd never heard of Chaffles before seeing this book but they are basically a cheese waffle that you can use like bread and other baked bases.
This book includes over 75 sweet and savoury recipes using the basic sweet or savoury batter at the start of each section with variations that are dairy free and egg free for different dietary needs. The book is very simple to follow and once you've got the basic mix you can pretty much use it how you would bread in other recipes for eg, burger buns, eggs benedict, three layer choc cake, smores.
Anyone on the Keto diet would enjoy expanding their recipe ideas with a book like this.
Thanks to Netgalley.com for providing me with this ARC copy for a review.

This book takes keto diet to another level!
I'm very impressed! I confess that I've never heard of chaffles before and I was very excited about this book. There are so many delicious chaffles ideas in this book! There are recipes for everyone and I don't know which one I will make first but I'm very excited! There are 75 recipes (41 are savory and 34 are sweet) and they all look fantastic! All recipes have photos, nutrition facts, servings and timing info. The ingredients and instructions are very clear. In the beginning, the book explains how to make basic chaffles, the best ingredients, how to storage them and some other tips.

I got an advance reader's copy of this book complimentary from NetGallery in exchange of my honest review.

I tried a couple of these recipes and they were perfect every time. It gives you some fancier waffles and basic waffles with some great ideas of what to do with them or use as topics. Thanks for the great book.

Once again Martina Slajerova doesn't disappoint! I have gone to chaffle haven. What an amazing selection of sweet and savory chaffles. These are a life save for keeping you on track with keto or being low carb. I love her ideas especially with the savory chaffles like the focaccia chaffle and corn dog chaffles! Talk about genius. Can't wait to try them.

This is a good cookbook. It has a lot of good Recipes. Although I didn’t have to get different ingredients to make them work. I would recommend it.

wow what a great cookbook. Detailed recipes, lots of tips, great pictures. If you ever wanted to try chaffles and didn't know where to start look no further. This is pretty much the only book you'll need.

Keto folks are likely to love this book, which gives 75 recipes for savory and sweet keto waffles. The waffles are made of shredded cheese, egg and almond flour as the main ingredients but the book promised vegan and dairy-free versions so I was really excited for my son who is allergic to gluten and dairy. Unfortunately, the dairy free version is just to substitute dairy-free cheese in the recipe. That doesn't work for us for a lot of reasons -- I prefer real foods to artificial substitutes, we're stuck in a small town in a pandemic and can't travel an hour and a half away for fake cheese, and for those who care about keto (we don't), most vegan cheese is not keto.

If you do standard keto, though, you're likely to like these recipes a lot. There are color photos for every recipe and it includes basic nutritional information for each recipe, too. They tend towards revised sandwich recipes and diner comfort food kind of dishes, with slightly more than half of the recipes in the savory style. The dessert waffles look really decadent and use a lot of cream cheese and whipped cream instead of just fake sugar, but they do rely on some of that to keep it keto. I'm not familiar with the taste of those so I can't speak to how satisfying those recipes are likely to be.

Don't expect super healthy recipes. These are things like corn dog chaffles (slice hot dogs into quarters, stick them on sticks, and cook them in the batter) and chaffles with sausage gravy, or dessert chaffles piled high with whipped cream and keto caramel. For those who are missing that kind of recipe, this will be a fun book.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

I had no idea what chaffels were before I opened this book. Basically, it’s a cheesy deliciousness.
This cookbook is full of fun delicious recipes, explained in easy step by step fashion and accompanied by tasty photographs that will have your mouth water. Also handy, since it’s a keto cookbook, are the nutritional facts. From savoury to sweet, there’s something for everyone.
I tried a few recipes and they went great, and tasted amazing!
So, heat up your waffle maker and get started to have a few foodgasms.


Thanks to the publisher for giving me an ARC of this book

Beautiful cookbook with simple, easy to follow chaffle recipes with great ideas for how to incorporate the chaffles into desserts and meals. I'm new to the chaffle making and I appreciate all the ideas that I found here....I can't wait to try chaffle lasagna this weekend!!

Although the idea of shuffles (cheese waffles) is interesting and combining this food trend with keto, another food trend, this book, especially the savory recipes, strikes me as gimmicky. If you had a basic keto shuffle recipe, do you really need one for Avocado Toast or Eggs Benedict? The sweet recipes are somewhat more interesting but I'm not entirely sure a mozzarella cheese keto waffle is what I want in my Somemore.

I'll skip this book in favor of an Internet search.

I am new at the chaffle game so I have only tried sweet chaffles so far, but Sweet & Savory Keto Chaffles by Martina Slajerova definitely has me wanting to up my game and venture into the savory chaffle game. Who knew you could make breakfast, lunch or dinner out of a mini waffle maker? I like that these recipes are low carb and keto friendly, The whole concept of chaffles in general is just fun and it helps take the sometimes boringness out of eating a low carbohydrate diet.

Unfortunately won’t download no matter what I do so I can’t review, but not the fault of the author so I won’t leave a negative review a shame as I was looking forward to trying this
