There are good recipes in the book but the carb alternatives aren't anything original that are already in the public. Its public to the point, that grocery stores have already started making items for the shelves catered to keto diets.

So this would be a supplementary book for keto dieters but they're not original or innovative recipe ideas.

Other than three major detractors, this is a nice cookbook. It has photographs for every recipe, is clean and easy to read/follow, and has a nice presentation. The recipes are all variations of common foods: it's more like a way to deal with cravings for full carb foods than necessarily what you would eat every day as part of a low card lifestyle change. The author is upfront about that and recommends her other cookbook for eating changes and for more every day keto meals.

That said, there are two things that caused me to lower my rating. One: several ingredients are from the author's website and there are no substitutes. If you want the recipes to end up like the author wrote them, you'll need to go shopping. The author puts this as "supporting my book" but that makes it sound optional when it isn't: you want to make many of these recipes, you have to go to her website and spend money - or take your chances wasting your time.

The second issue is that she gives recipes that require another recipe which is conveniently only fully on her other cookbook. So., e.g., to make the Deep Dish Pizza, you need her fatdough recipe. But that recipe is fully covered in her other book and only a condensed version appears here. Hope it turns out ok for you without the full recipe - or you can buy her other book.

Each recipe has a large photograph that is well done. They all have notations if vegetarian, serving size, serves amount, storage, nutrition info (calories, fat, carbs, fiber, net carbs, protein). There are some nice tips and variations for quite a few that I found particularly helpful.

In all, without the above issues, this would be a perfect 5 for me. I am just disappointed and really tired of the marketing doublespeak, hidden agendas, upsell. Reviewed from an advance reader copy provided by the publisher.

This Keto cookbook for carb lovers is written by someone who has lived the lifestyle for 10 years and done all the experimenting for us! Now that my kids are grown and not insisting on traditional chicken strips, pizza, and other teen friendly cravings, I’m inspired to spend a little more time cooking cleaner and healthier for my husband and I and this cookbook is a great place to start.

In the beginning pages the author lists and explains many substitutions and alternatives to carbs and how they are affected in the cooking process. The chapter list is impressive including Breads, Potatoes, Pizza, Pasta Dishes, Casseroles, Desserts and more! She even includes access to her App where the reader can track macros, find recipes, meal plan, etc. So helpful!

The author states, “Almost all baked goods can be made key friendly”…sign me up! Every recipe includes beautiful and realistic photos on how the dish appears prepared as well as helpful notations about how the food tastes and the texture. It is obvious that this author did extensive testing on each recipe to make sure it turns out as close to the original, carb loaded dish we are craving.

There are so many compelling recipes in this book including meatball subs, French fries, risotto, potato salad, paella, taquitos, lasagna, chocolate chip cookies, apple crisp and so much more!

If you’re thinking of incorporating more keto recipes in your lifestyle or have already done so, this cookbook is well thought out to bring many of our favorites to the table in a healthier way!

Thank you Netgalley, MPL Publishing and the author for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Everyone on a keto lifestyle needs at least one good keto cookbook on standby for easy reference. This one is a good candidate as it has everyday food using mostly everyday ingredients for breakfast up to dinner, and snacks and dessert. I found many that I want to try out especially the zucchini skins and pizza!

The beginning chapters on ingredients and substitutes are great and essential info for beginners. And I really appreciated the storage advice as well as variations and tips for each recipe.

Maya Krampf has been experimenting with healthy and low carb cooking since 2010. I think she’ll know what she’s talking about for delicious food that the family will love!

5 stars from me!

This book is exactly what I've been looking for! The recipes were so easy to follow which is essential for a girl like me who is lazy when it comes to cooking. I also appreciate that the recipes weren't too wordy, just the essential information to make the recipe!

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This cookbook is just what I need! I am currently on a low carb lifestyle change. I have been craving ALL if my favorite carb filled comfort foods. So this cookbook is perfect for me!

The beginning of the cookbooks goes over a lot of great information on substitutes. Plus a lot of information and definitions on specific ingredients. This is really helpful information for anyone who is new on their healthy food journey.

What I loved:
- All of the detailed information on what is great for a keto diet! There was a lot of things I didn’t even know I could have
- All of the different substitutes options foe a lot of my favorite foods
- The recipes have very clear and easy to follow instructions
- The photos are very vivid and really look appetizing
- LOTS of great recipes and variety!

I cannot wait to make all of these recipes. I already picked out a few for next week’s meal plans. 5 stars!

Wonderful!! I am going to try the shepherds pie this weekend. The font is beautiful and the pictures are clean and well done. More recipes than I anticipated too. Great job!

I was ecstatic to see Maya Krampf’s keto cookbook. When beginning my keto journey I realized heavily on her recipes that I found on Pinterest and her blog. It’s amazing to now have some many great keto recipes in one place. I would highly recommend “The Wholesome Yum” to anyone who starting their keto journey as there is a list with descriptions of necessary ingredients for a keto diet. The cookbook has everything from delicious desserts, chicken crust pizza, and pasta substitutes recipes. I’m very excited for Maya and her cookbook!
