"Want to try the keto diet but don’t have enough time to cook elaborate meals from scratch? No problem! USA TODAY bestselling author and creator of DIRTY, LAZY, KETO offers the perfect solution with these quick and easy recipes that you can make in no time."

Thank you Netgalley and Adams Media for the eGalley of this book!

I liked this book enough to get out her original book actually explaining her Keto process. I have to say I was a bit confused why she used so much alternative flour and had so many higher net carb recipes in this book. I had to read her weight loss book to understand her keto theory. I don't think a lot of things were explained in this book as I was confused as what zero carb sugar substitute she uses and some ingredients. She goes into much more detail in her earlier book. The recipes in this book are higher in net carbs and I don't think would be good for someone starting keto. This would be good for someone in maintenance. So I'm going to skip this book for now, follow her earlier book and see what happens!

I really love Dirty Lazy Keto by Stephanie Laska: William Laska. Her no-nonsense approach to cooking, shopping and managing a busy life all while attempting to serve yourself and your family healthy, nutritious and low carb meals makes this book a must have. The illustrations are colorful and enticing, and the recipes are well thought out and planned. Each page is filled with lots of nutritional information, how to's, and food fact trivia to support the recipe. I think if you are trying to live the Keto lifestyle, you will appreciate her book, and her humor!

Another great Keto cookbook! I loved the variety of new recipes in here as well as simple preparation tips and short cuts to make Keto a little less labor intensive. The chicken satay and peanut sauce are on my meal plan for this coming week!! Beautiful pictures, great variety, really great nutritional break down. Definitely an awesome resource for anyone keto or low carb.

The guidelines and recipes are very well prepared with information. Easy to understand and follow to have a healthy meal for any time of the day for a healthy life living in keto. A wonderful resource!

Like the other Dirty Lazy Keto cookbooks, I really enjoyed this one. It's easy to find what you're looking for and also provides an overview to make it easier to follow keto in whatever way makes sense for your lifestyle. There are lots of pictures that are always a bonus.

I either tried or will be trying some really great recipes like:
Stopwatch Spanish Rice
Onion Run Rings
Time Pressure Cooker Beef Stew
Drive Thru Nuggets with Wasabi Ranch Dip
Presto Chicken Parmesan
EZ Zoodle Noodle "Spaghetti"
BAM! Bacon Burgers
Grab & Go Chicken Breasts (great idea to cook ahead of time for other meals)
... and so many more!

This book has some easy recipes for the Keto Diet. Also a very good introduction on this diet.

I’ll have to try some recipes soon!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ebook copy in exchange for an honest review.

Pretty fantastic info & recipes.
The "minute mug omelet" is a morning game changer.
I've switched to doing 21 day fix and portioning instead of keto, but several of these will still work if the dairy is omitted.

Dirty, Lazy, Keto Cookbook a fun remedy
Posted on January 12, 2021 by michellelovatosbookreviews, world's first book color commentator
It is the new year and billions of us are dieting … again. Never fear. Stephanie Laska, MEd, and William Laska have just the right kind of dieting cookbook for you.
The Dirty, Lazy, No Time to Cook, Keto Cookbook is here. This book includes 100 easy recipes ready in under 30 minutes. And those recipes are good.
Stephanie Laska, who lost 140 pounds following this dieting format, believes in her product and believes in the body’s ability to reverse its health conditions with proper food. The best part about the Laskas’ beliefs is getting it done fast.
This cookbook is a unique twist on the traditional diet approach. Though she believes in using nutritious, whole-food, like so many other traditional diet cookbook authors, Laska also believes in obtaining the right tools for the job of preparing meals and having those tools conveniently located alongside her menus ready-to-cook-with ingredients. The Laskas spend a decent amount of time talking to cookbook readers about how to organize their cook space and lifestyle to make the cooking process fast and easy.
Pretty novel idea. But admittedly, probably not one most people will actually follow-through and complete.
Laska’s recipes are not only time-inspired but also family-friendly, as she raised two children through the time she lost her 140 pounds, and understands the value and need to accommodate the crew. And it certainly doesn’t hurt to have a husband on board to follow the keto plan along with his wife.
Among the Laskas magic 100 recipes are Double-Quick Double-Chocolate Chaffles, Thai Time Crunch Salad, Procrastinator Pizza Casserole, Hurried Jalapeno Holla Casserole, and Asian-Inspired Take-Out Tacos.
In addition to these recipes, the Laskas present symbols alongside each recipe in the table of contents to help fast cooks determine if they want to make a generous recipe for use another day; one that offers a minimal mess; meals that fill the hungry tummy; those for picky eaters; those recipes “fancy enough for guests” and those that are vegetarian-ish.
The Laskas say this book is flexible, honest, and a real-world approach to losing weight while existing normally – all in 30-minute modules.
I am not a giant cookbook fan. I am not a giant fan of cooking at all. In fact, I prefer to find my meals in packages that say Poke and, five-pound bag of apples. But this cookbook is a different approach and I found myself intrigued with some of these ideas.
One nice thing about a cooking aversion is finding a cookbook interesting enough to try. And, this one might be my next delve into experimenting with food.
Stephanie and William Laska have four previous titles published in 2020 and 2018 and are all keto-diet related.

Reading the cute names of the recipes almost made me not take this book seriously. However, I actually read through the book and focused on the recipes. I have recently discovered a gluten intolerance. The keto diet embraces a lack of wheat in my diet. I can't wait to try some of the alternatives like the tortilla replacements. Most diet cookbooks use too many ingredients and take too much time. This book would fit my lifestyle of working with a family to feed. I also appreciated the restructured food pyramid. I don't like counting anything for a diet. I like the author recommending to just watch total carbs.

This is a cookbook for those interested in the ketogenic diet as the recipes are all very low carbohydrate. Laska has written a series of "Dirty, Lazy, Keto" books and this is the latest. As a nutritionist I think that the ketogenic diet can be an excellent short term diet to lose weight, although I have concerns about it from a nutritional standpoint if used very long term. The term "lazy keto" means counting only carbohydrates. The term "dirty keto" means using ingredients that are low carbohydrate, regardless of food quality.
I would not personally use this book because I prefer real, organic whole foods whenever possible. The cookbook may be of use to someone just starting a ketogenic diet and coming from the Standard American junk food diet.
I received a complementary copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this cookbook. It was broken down really well and is very easy for someone researching or beginning keto to understand. I loved how it showed that while many may chose the route of strict keto that there are ways to incorporate dirty keto and still lose weight, maintain your weight loss or just lead a healthier lifestyle. The pictures are such great bonus as it lets you see exactly the types of food you'll be preparing.

I will definitely be adding this to my cookbook collection!!

**Received ARC through NetGalley. Voluntarily reviewed**

This cookbook is unique in that it is written by an individual who has utilized these principles and recipes to lose weight. As explained in the beginning of this cookbook, this author used "keto" eating principles to lose over 140 pounds and keep it off for over 8 years. This cookbook provides delicious and easy to make recipes that will assist one in their keto journey. Each of the 100 recipes have less than 10 net grams of carbs and can be created in less than 30 minutes- a lifesaver for working moms everywhere. This cookbook provides recipes based upon the keto way of eating that are uncomplicated and inexpensive. Recipes are provided in each of the following topics: breakfast, soups and salads, snacks, breads and pizza, sides, main dishes, drinks, and desserts. This cookbook provides recipes to meet all needs within a household, including picky eaters. I highly recommend this cookbook. Not only are the recipes delicious and easy to make, they are also provided with designations in the cookbook such as: a "twofer" recipe meaning that you can make extra and use part of it for another meal. Another type of recipe included is "less mess" meaning that you can make the entire recipe in one bowl with minimal cleanup. This cookbook is a realistic, easy to use cookbook with delicious recipes.

This book contains time-saving keto recipes for appetizers, salads, soups, main courses, snacks, sides, breakfast, desserts, and even drinks.

The good: Each recipe has tips on the left hand side, such as other dishes that go well with it, macros and nutritional values are given, and it's motivating in the way that it doesn't stress the importance of having to use fresh veggies, but encourages to make one's life easier by using frozen or canned alternatives.

The bad: About a third of each recipe had introductory anecdotes from the author's life, and I really don't care about that, I came for quick recipes, get straight to the point! Measurements are American, so as a European lots of arduous converting was involved to try these, although there are two pages of conversion tables at the end.

All in all, I only ended up giving one recipe a try, and it was ok. There are lots of ingredients needed that an average household would not necessarily have on hand, and many things that might be easy to buy in the US, but not so much in Europe, such as a rotisserie chicken or frozen, shredded broccoli. This significantly prolonges prep time, so hardly any of these would be doable in thirty minutes. Worth a try if you're in the US, but if you're based elsewhere, where such products are not widely available, give it a pass.

The DIRTY, LAZY, KETO No Time to Cook Cookbook is is a new tutorial and recipe collection for keto cooks in a hurry. Due out 5th Jan 2021 from Simon & Schuster on their Adams Media imprint, it's 224 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats. The authors have several other "Dirty Lazy Keto" cookbooks in the same series and with similar formats. This one has an emphasis on quick preparation and simple presentation.

The introduction covers the basics of the keto lifestyle/diet, including a basic primer on ketosis, macronutrients, tips, ingredients, tools, supplies, how-to, pantry lists and shopping tips, along with an inspiring author background bio. She emphasizes that it's not necessary to spend a ton of money and track every mouthful to be successful at weight loss and maintenance. I found her encouraging and you-can-do-it style of writing engaging and fun. There's also a short, concise subchapter on food handling and safety, which was welcome.

The following chapters include the recipes arranged roughly by category: breakfast, soups & salads, snacks, pizza, side dishes, main dishes, and desserts & drinks. The table of contents lists each recipe along with symbols giving a visual guide to different real-life situations (recipes for "hangry" moments, for picky eaters, lacto-ovo vegetarian-ish dishes, superstar keto dishes etc - quite humorous but also *true*).

Ingredient measurements are supplied in American standard measurements only. There's a conversion chart for metric measures in the appendices. The prep times, net carbs, servings, and tips and options are listed in well laid out sidebars. The ingredients are listed in a bullet list followed by step by step directions. The author does recommend real-world timesavers like using premade taco powder (the recipes rely heavily on premade (often precooked) ingredients - this is *not* slow cooking from scratch). Allied recipes (included) are referenced in the recipes to save time by using leftovers from one recipe in another recipe. The recipes are drawn from a surprisingly broad number of world cuisines - Asian, southwestern, Tex-Mex, Cajun, European, etc.

Inspiring real life quotes and thoughts are highlighted in yellow in the text, giving readers an extra little boost. Some readers might find the cheerleading over the top, but I found the author's voice very encouraging and friendly. I found myself thinking "wow, she really gets it".

This really felt like a keto-friendly cookbook for me: short on time/money, impatient with impossible-to-source "weird" ingredients, and cooking for myself and a family of non-keto eaters. I found it impressive and pretty easy to follow. A small real-life occurrence - my endocrinologist said at my last visit I was his ONLY patient who had actually gone DOWN in weight since lockdown. That made me feel good.

Five stars. I really like (and use) this entire series of cookbooks. One codicil, there are very few pictures included in the book. The dishes and serving suggestions which are included are attractive and appropriate, however.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes

There were a lot of great recipes in this book. I appreciated that the ingredients were basic, easy to find items and that the recipes were not complicated. There were many family friendly recipes to make cooking healthy for a family easy.

The DIRTY, LAZY, KETO No Time to Cook Cookbook is a kitchen must have! Stephanie Laska is a talented chef, recipe creator and one of the funniest writers I have read. How could you not love an author who admits that “From second grade to my second marriage, I tended to weigh more that anyone else in the room”? And now she’s lost 140 lbs. and kept it off. How? By following what she calls a flexible, honest approach to weight loss. This is a no excuses cookbook. All of these delicious, gorgeously photographed meals can be made in 30 minutes or less.

In the introduction to each of these recipes, Stephanie explains why she created these dishes. There are also tips and options, giving substitution ideas, suggesting uses for leftovers and more. A guide indicates, among others, that the recipe uses only one pot, makes enough for two or is vegetarian. I’m looking forward to trying No Fuss Pho, Lightning Speed Salad and Thai Time Crunch Salad first. Stephanie and her co-author and husband William Laska have written another unique, creative cookbook for Keto dieters and everyone else! 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley, Adams Media and Stephanie and William Laska for this ARC.

Thank you NetGalley for my arc. This is a well organized cookbook with plenty of recipes I want to try out!

I'm new to Keto dieting and have found myself feeling better already. However, I was getting bored with my options. This cookbook opens up a large variety that I think readers will be surprised by. The tips are excellent and the recipes easy to follow. The authors experience shines through and adds a bit of a support system to encourage readers. There are a lot of Keto books out there but this one stands out. Highly recommend no matter where you are in your lifestyle journey.

The DIRTY, LAZY, KETO No Time to Cook Cookbook
100 Easy Recipes Ready in under 30 Minutes
by Stephanie Laska; William Laska
has lots of energy. Stephanie's personality shines through, making it a fun reading.
It sounds like a cookbook with a story, when the author views her previous food life with keto eyes. Whats healthy and unhealthy. On the left side are shockingly true low net carb numbers of the recipe. When I saw the first one, I thought it was supposed to read 15 but it is 1g. I had to train my brain to read those numbers.
many varieties of dishes that you would like normally which can be now be had keto.
Have the main ingredients ready, get ready for a keto ride.

I am currently researching the Keto Diet. My plan is to start the diet at the beginning of the new year. Like most, I don't always feel like, or have the time to spend hours in the kitchen preparing meals. I was intrigued by the title, "The DIRTY, LAZY, KETO No Time To Cook Cookbook by Stephanie and William Laska. In reviewing the book, I was excited to see a wide variety of recipes that will take not more than 30 minutes to prepare. As with anything new, it will take planning to insure that you have the ingredients needed on hand. I'm fine with that, as I am a planner. Up until now, I felt that the Keto Diet was limiting in what you could eat. This cookbook proved me wrong. I'm excited to try out these recipes.

Stephanie Laska, one of the authors, has lost 140 pounds, and has kept the weight off for 8 years!! Having someone who is a Keto Diet expert, is another reason I feel confident about trying this diet and these recipes.

If you are new or an expert to the Keto Diet, this cookbook is a must have!
