The recipes have a nice variety and because they are not strictly unprocessed food keto, there is some nice variety and quite a selection.
This cookbook is so helpful especially for a newbie to keto! Its helped me get a good idea of what I need to do. I do wish there were pictures for some of the recipes.

Oh my gosh, I can't say enough about this super informative, deliciously written cookbook! The first part of the book not only breaks down the keto diet, but educates the reader about the meaning & importance of macronutrients and micronutrients, and how to use your knowledge of them to build your everyday eating habits. As someone who used to strictly eat keto but has been "out of the game" for a while, this was the perfect refresher to help me get my bearings again. For anyone who is interested in trying out a ketogenic way of eating, whether you're a novice or pro, this cookbook is a wonderful tool to help you achieve your goals!

Thank you to netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review. I appreciate the honesty of this cookbook as I am following the keto lifestyle and have thought that some prepared items would make things easier than preparing everything from scratch for each meal. Especially if I don’t bring enough food to work! I look forward to trying out these recipes for myself. Especially the breakfast and snack ideas. Who knew pork rinds could be so versatile?!

Thank you NetGalley for an advanced readers copy of this book. It is such a great resource for Keto beginners! Keto can be a bit overwhelming with lots of rules to follow but this book makes it easier. And it has some really great recipes!

Keto meets macros in this easy cookbook. The recipes are easy to follow with relatively easy to find ingredients. I will say there are a few that imma let you try first before I’ll try it. (Cocoa Puffs with pork rinds?)

The author really makes it easy. They break down each recipe so it’s easy to find what works for you.

Easy Dirty Keto Cookbook is an accessible guide to keto by Emilie Bailey. Released 23rd August 2022 from Callisto on their Rockridge Press imprint, it's 242 pages and available in paperback and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links. I've really become enamored of ebooks with interactive formats lately. For Kindle Unlimited subscribers, this book is currently included in the KU subscription library to borrow and read for free.

The introduction covers the basics of the keto lifestyle/diet, including a basic primer on ketosis, macronutrients, tips, ingredients, pantry lists and shopping/planning tips.

The following chapters include the recipes arranged roughly by category: breakfast, snacks & appetizers, vegetarian sides & mains, fish & seafood, poultry, beef pork & lamb, and desserts. The table of contents lists each recipe in its chapter subheading. The layout and typeface is no frills, high contrast, and easy to read.

Ingredient measurements are supplied in imperial (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 jarred pasta sauce (the recipes rely heavily on premade (often precooked) ingredients - this is *not* slow cooking from scratch). 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 one of the few patients who had actually gone DOWN in weight since covid began. That made me feel good.

Four stars. One codicil, there are very few pictures included in the book. The dishes and serving suggestions which are included (though few) are attractive and appropriate.

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

EASY DIRTY KETO COOKBOOK shares some wonderful recipes for those who are Keto, or are looking to be on a Keto plan. It makes me more comfortable since I'm looking to follow this plan myself. I would recommend.

Really great recipes, even for the beginners like me. Keto can be overwhelming, with a lot of tips and rules that you have to follow. this book makes it easier to follow

This is a great resource for keto beginners and veterans alike. There are a lot of basic recipes as well as some fun and exciting ones, including hot cuban style wraps, spicy peanut noodles, a clam chowder to chase the cravings away and so much more. A great book for your keto kitchen collection!

Thank you NetGalley and Callisto Media, Rockridge Press for accepting my request to read and review the Easy Dirty Keto Cookbook.

"The keto diet is a high-fat, moderate-protein, low-carbohydrate way of eating that results in your body entering a state of ketosis." The author goes minimally into the science of ketosis. She goes on to explain the term macro (a combination of protein, fat, and carbohydrates) and the importance to her recipes. Simply, the recipes have fewer carbohydrates to aid in sustaining ketosis.

There are 100 recipes in the book providing choices for breakfast, snacks, dinners and desserts. The skill level is set for rookies to seasoned cooks. The Dirty is to make easy with flexibility to maintain the ketosis.

Baker does list ten steps that are a reiteration of most cookbooks in my experience. They include stocking and cleaning out your pantry, etc., to increase your success. Recipe tips are color-coded. I thought that would be helpful as you become familiar with the cookbook: Green - vegetarian. Orange - Gluten-free. Etc. Serving and macro statistics are given following each recipe.

My thoughts -- the recipes are not complicated. They do require patience and some kitchen equipment staples (measuring cups and spoons, mixing bowls, etc). I would not purchase this as a gift. This is a personal eating plan that is called a diet. While the cookbook can be bought without a prescription, seeking a physician's advise should be a must. With physician blessing, this cookbook offers a variety of dishes for every meal.

I am going with 3 stars, as there is a need for testing strips, and that makes me uncomfortable. Clearly, I am not familiar with this diet. Several recipes sound really good (breakfast and desserts held my attention).

4 stars!

Great selection of recipes to choose from with easy to follow instructions.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

Ok, I’m not exactly on a keto diet. I would just like to eat healthy and try to get my son to get the healthier options as he grows up.

Emilie Bailey starts her cookbook with a foundation of keto, tips to help stay on the diet, explains macronutrients and how to calculate, and more!

This cookbook is so helpful especially for a newbie to keto! I definitely recommend it for starters! Its helped me get a good idea of what I need to do. I do wish there were pictures for some of the recipes.

Thanks to the publisher and #NetGalley for the ARC!

If you have been wanting to go keto but were turned off as I was, by the fussy recipes and emphasis on expensive ingredients, this is the cookbook for you. After a beginning going over the basics of keto, the book has great unfussy recipes for eery meal.

Often using ingreients, including meats, poutry, and vegetables you'll be able to find at the grocery store, the recipes ae great. Even if members of your family are not eating keto, you'll love this cookbook.

Great recipes for the keto diet. Easy to make and enjoyable as heck to eat.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC for an exchange for an honest review.

Love it, so much info, so helpful Great cookbook and recipes.

Very interesting book. Learned a lot from it. Lots of good points and interesting recipes. Very well written

Great cookbook that explains the concepts for “dirty” keto. Great tips and ideas. The recipes also look simple but tasty. When it comes to dieting for me, it has to be easy and this book falls into that category.

Fool that I am, I thought that Stephanie Laska had invented dirty, lazy keto. Apparently, not! Emily Bailey’s Easy Dirty Keto Cookbook: Meet Your Macros with Less Effort is a fabulous addition to the oeuvre. Bailey promises that dirty, lazy keto allows you to use certain prepackaged and prepared foods in recipes, allows sweeteners and doesn’t require out-of-the-way ingredients. Where do I sign up?

Keto Chocolate Puffs — something resembling <i>actual</i> cereal? Cake Batter Dutch Baby? Pizza Pockets? Fajita-Stuffed Portabellos? Chicken and Bacon “Ramen” Soup? Glazed Pork Tenderloins? Caramel Flan? Mmmm, mmmm! It’s like a return to a blessed before time, before packing on more pounds than I’d like to admit, before diets, before early old age. Using the perennial cauliflower and almond flour, Bailey manages to recreate some old favorites with one-tenth or less of the carbohydrates. Here is a cookbook that carb-avoidant readers will adore.

In the interest of full disclosure, I received this cookbook from NetGalley and Rockridge Press in exchange for an honest review.

Don't forget your macros!

a very helpful and mindful book about keto diet.
I have found some good and maybe new news.

wonderful pictures and some recipes i have tried already.

Have fun trying it out!

A very simple and easy to follow book with many different types of dishes in the pages. A great beginner style book for anyone just getting started on a Keto journey.
