The Beginner's KetoDiet Cookbook

Great recipes, that are clear and easy to understand. I also enjoyed the well-written explanation of the KetoDiet.
Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I've followed a keto diet on/off for awhile, so I wasn't sure that I needed this book, but was looking for more recipes. I was shocked by the wealth and depth of knowledge provided in this book. Martina Slajerova goes into detail about why this works, who should use it, what supplements could be helpful, what side effects you might go through. Then she has great recipes. Excited to use this book more!

Brief explanation of how your body will adjust on the Keto diet, and numerous receipes to try. My family has just become interested in the Keto lifestyle and we will be using this book as one of our go to guides.

I have a friend who started a Keto diet a few months ago and she has had such success, I thought I would try the same. Although I haven’t been at it yet for long, I am so glad I found this cookbook. It is exactly what I was looking for. A lot of information and delicious recipes.

I will be purchasing this book. Very easy to follow. Love allergy symbols. Beautiful colored pictures. Everyday ingredients.

I have been hearing a lot about the Keto Diet but have not really looked into it until now. This book fully explains the diet and gives you over 100 recipes to get you started. I loved looking through the delicious recipes but the amount of information on the diet itself is just amazing.

This book really is great for the beginner as well as those who have been on the diet. The food charts and tips and tricks are awesome and easy to read and follow. And the recipes are great or anyone even those who have no interest in the diet at all. The recipes will have you drooling.

I received this book from the Author or Publisher via Netgalley.com to read and review.

Another great Fair Winds Press book. If you are wanting to start a Keto diet or just learn about eating the right Keto friendly foods, this is the book for you. Very easy to understand what the method is to Keto dieting as well as so many friendly easy to understand recipes that anyone can make. Love the pictures.

A terrific introduction to Keto diet. Easy to follow and great recipes, This book will definitely be used as a good reference into the Keto way of eating for me.
Thanks to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Fair Winds Press for the opportunity to read and review this book.

The author describes what the keto diet consists of and how it can change your body chemistry from “gluten” metabolism to “fat “ metabolism and you will have more energy, feel full after you eat, and have less cravings for fattening foods.
She also goes through the steps and stages of low carb eating so that changing your diet is less of a shock to your system and your body becomes less dependent on carbs.
You are given a list of fruits and vegetables, the recommended serving size, and how many carbs the food contains so that you can keep track of your carb intake.
You are also given a list foods that are high in protein as protein helps you to lose weight.
The author shows how healthy fats are essential to a keto diet, and she gives you the correct fats to use and what types of foods you should use with them.
You are also shown what you may use to sweeten your food, as unhealthy sugars will not help you to stay healthy.
The author gives you lists of foods that contain magnesium and potassium so that you can get most of these supplements naturally.
The author has used icons that show what recipes are vegan, ideal for fasting, high in electrolytes, induction - friendly, nightshade free, nut free, egg free and dairy free so that allergy -causing foods are omitted from your keto diet.
You are given lists of keto-friendly staples such as noodles, rice, nuts, seeds, broth, eggs, pestos, and 12types of flavored butters to keep on hand for frequent usage.
The first recipe is for focaccia, using psyllium powder, coconut flour, sea salt, rosemary, eggs, and garlic. You make it using an electric mixer and a parchment covered pan in the oven - it looks delicious!
There is a recipe for breakfast chili with ground beef, cayenne pepper, tomatoes spices , and there are toppings such as bacon, eggs and avocados.
The peanut butter and chia parfaits look delicious and easy to prepare.
Chocolate souffle pancakes with pumpkin swirl are made with eggs, cacao powder, butter and coconut oil.
The cream of mushroom soup looks delicious and healthy with porcini mushrooms, garlic, coconut milk, cauliflower and chicken stock.
There are many types of salads - a greek salad, wedge salad, and a carne asada salad.
The lunches and entrees contain such recipes as California sushi wraps, mushroom stroganoff, Bimimbap veggie bowl, with rice, vegetables, eggs and meat, and Keto pad Thai with shiritaki noodles.
These recipes use easily found ingredients, simple kitchen tools, and average cooking skills.
Enjoy becoming healthier and more energetic with this diet. It has everything you need to go on the Keto diet!

As someone considering starting a Ketogenic way of eating, I found the explanation of how a keto diet works to very interesting and not overcomplicated.

The book contains a comprehensive guide on what foods to avoid and which to eat in abundance, and the recipes definitely help you to feel that you are not missing out.

Overall, a very helpful book for both those starting out on a keto diet and those who are already committed to that way of eating who want some fresh ideas.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing the ARC in return for an honest review.

This cookbook has a WEALTH of helpful information up front. If you are new to the Keto diet, this is an informational goldmine. There are also many really great recipes in here varying from relatively simple to exotic and complicated. As a beginner cookbook I might have liked to have seen more simple "every day" recipes, but that speaks more to my cooking skills and lack of time than anything else. The pictures are wonderfully tantalizing and there are several droolworthy gems to be found on these pages. Definitely a helpful aid if you're ready to commit to the keto lifestyle!

This has some really great recipes. Some of the ingredients were a bit hard to find and a bit expensive. But, they were good. The taste was there.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy from Fair Winds Press for my unbiased opinion of the book. I enjoyed the recipes of this book, Spicy Chorizo Cloud Eggs, Tomato & Feta Bruschetta, Chicken Parmesan Casserole. The pictures, layout, and font very appealing. I would consult with my doctor before following this book word for word. I would not do this as a diet but pull the aspects of this book that works for me and use it as a guide for healthier living. I cannot wait to try more recipes and really dig into the formulas this book offers!

This cookbook is fantastic!

The recipes sound so delicious and the pictures are beautiful! I am so excited to try the recipes in here! The beginning of the book goes into pretty thorough detail about the keto diet and lists carb amounts for many fruits and veggies. While I do not adhere to the keto diet, I was interested in this book for the large number of recipes that do use vegetables in them. There are also categories specified, such as vegetarian and dairy free, which I thought was great.

This cookbook is great not only for those on the Keto diet, but also for those who want to try out some new and unique delicious recipes!!

I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

A very good book about the keto diet. I had very little understanding of Keto before reading but the information provided is excellent and easy to understand.

The recipes all sound amazing as well and is definitely something I would be interested in.

Great Keto Cookbook. Plan on starting the keto diet in the next week and have been looking for some good new recipes. Great pictures and easy instruction. A lot of variety in types of recipes. Can't wait to try some of these out!

I thought this is a wonderful beginners cookbook for keto! It really gives you a lot of great basic information about keto and things I think are really important that aren’t easy to find out about. I loved all the guides on certain foods! It can be especially hard to find out what hidden carbs are in veggies and having a guide to tell you is super helpful when you’re first starting off. I loved the variety of recipes. I thought it was a nice mix of super simple ones and a little bit more complicated ones. I would highly recommend checking this out if you’re starting keto and need a place to start!

You can't a health nut without having hear of the Keto Diet. Everywhere you turn this is the diet everyone is talking this year. We have seen diets from South Beach to Aktins and they work for a time and than everyone starts to gain the weight back.



Why you ask?

To be honest no one should diet you should change your lifestyle towards eating.



I am not on the diet but I am interested in recipes that are healthy and ways to get more veggies in my kids diets.



The pictures are beautiful and it will have readers diving into making these amazing dishes.

The beginning of the book explains in detail the list of carbs that are in different items of food like veggies and fruits. It Explains how much you need each day to live this diet and why it is important to add fitness. Diet is 80 % of weight loss and fitness in only 20% (Depends on what diet book you are reading.)

There is a section in the book for vegetarian and dairy free. Which helps this mom out since all but one of the kids have dairy allergies (Yup very little dairy in this house)



While I live by the my words I don't diet I do understand changing your lifestyle and how to eat to better your health. If you can stick to this diet I am sure there are wonderful out comes but remember be realize to what your, body, mind and lifestyle can do. This isn't a quick fix this is a life style choice.



Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher Fair Winds Press for the advance copy of Martina Šlajerová The Beginner's KetoDiet Cookbook



Why 4 stars (Because it is another diet with pretty pictures.)

This was more than what I bargained for. This book did a great job explaining to a layman, like me, about the background and principles of the keto lifestyle (don't call it a diet). I can see why a lot of people recently have been drawn to adopting this lifestyle. The science behind the right foods to eat is fascinating and seems to make a lot of sense. I, myself, am interesting in trying this out and this is the perfect guide.

I've recently started a keto way of eating and this cookbook is a great resource! I'm looking forward to trying some of the ideas as soon as I can (chia pudding for breakfast tomorrow!). Definitely gives you what you need to get started and with the keto way of eating. Arguably, a little complicated for something with the word beginner in the title. #indigoemployee

I have been trying to find a way to lose weight and one thing that everyone is raving about is the Keto Diet and I thought why not give it a try. I have found that it's an easier diet to follow, but for some having major food allergies can cause an issue for following it as well. I did find that the recipes were easy to follow and it was simple to make too. Some of the recipes I made were good but some I looked and didn't feel like my family would enjoy at all. I do have to say that I plan on using this cookbook more and I can't wait to make more tasty recipes for me and my family! I highly recommend this book for all those who are interested in beginning the Keto Diet and you will enjoy the book and how easy the recipes are. And the steps to going Keto has been wonderful for those who are just plain lost on how to begin it on their own. Thank you for this!

This book had some amazing recipes that were easy to follow. The Keto Diet is still new to me, so I have been looking for tasty things to try to make that were not expensive and time consuming. This book hit both of those marks!

This is an informative and interesting recipe book. The recipes are brilliant and the photos that accompany them are amazing.

This book fully explains the diet and gives you over 100 recipes to get you started. This book really is great for the beginner as well as those who have been on the diet. The author gives measurements and provides charts and nutritional values on different foods.

The KetoDiet is a controversial topic, but this book wants to help you understand the science behind it and get you started following this diet with easy recipes. The author knows what she's talking about, she changed her eating habits in 2011 and has researched the science behind the KetoDiet thoroughly. Furthermore, she and her partner have created an APP with recipes and a blog that helps millions of visitors to follow this lifestyle. An important fact that is stressed throughout the book is, the KetoDiet is not purely about weight loss it is about a healthier lifestyle.

The recipes in this book are varied and offer simple meals that can be made from a basic stock of ingredients (keto-friendly, of course). Small symbols tell you whether a recipe is vegetarian, or dairy-free,or egg-free, etc. There is even a small symbol indicating whether this recipe is a good choice for the induction phase of the KetoDiet. There are even cake recipes!

Thank you for letting me know that this book existed! Great recipes, although I cannot actually make most of them. Mainly the cost of the ingredients are higher for some, I still have to cook for husband and children, so adding flaxseed/ psyllium husk/ cacao butter would push the budget over.
Some of the recipes are easier to adapt into my lifestyle. The pictures look really appetizing, looks like a wholesome meal!
Love your alternative section, at least one day I have time to plan on making some of the recipes. Especially ones involving salmon and soup .

I LOVED that book! I need to buy it now. I realized that with my food intolerances, I already follow the Keto Diet... There's a big chapter in the beginning of the book that explains the basics of the Keto Diet, and I learned a lot. A lot of the recipes have their pictures. I need to know what the recipe is supposed to look like, even if it won't look like that when I will make it. The nutrition facts are shown per serving, that’s a big plus. And there’s alternatives for food allergies when possible. There’s also icons at the beginning of each recipe that indicate if it’s dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free, nightshade-free, vegetarian, etc.

Thanks to Quarto Publishing for my e-copy through NetGalley.

Very good book. I found it easy to read for a beginner like myself. The charts are a big help and the information is very informative. This book includes recipes which the few I tried were actually good. Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC of this book in return for my honest review.

Out of all the diets I have dabbled with, Keto has been the most intimidating for me. Having to figure out protein, fats, carb ratios can be overwhelming when all I want to do is have my breakfast before my kids start to ask for second helpings with theirs.

Slajerova took away all the anxiety I have about Keto and provided an easy-to-follow guide to the most elusive diet known to man, or at least to me. The food list she offers is a helpful way for beginners like me to understand the break down of foods and the benefits the diet provides when followed correctly.

The recipes vary, but are simple without having to labor over a long ingredient list or slave over long preparation and cooking which a busy parent like me appreciates and values.

As someone who is at the very beginning on this keto journey, this book comes in handy . The information available in this book helps alot! Thanks for the opportunity!

I love every cookbook she has published and this is no different. I have lived the keto life style for a couple of years now and I consider her books the bible of keto. I am vegan so meat as a protein option does not work for me but I am able to adapt some of the others that don't contain meat. This book is a wealth of information for anyone starting on the journey. Thanks for the opportunity to read this book.

For anyone considering trying a keto diet this would be a good place to start! The introduction is the key to understanding how the diet works and it's effects on the metabolism. The recipes are many, varied, uncomplicated and accompanied by colourful pictures...and it includes desserts. I can't wait to try some of these inviting and healthy recipes. Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC.

This book starts of with explaining what the book is and what everything means and the authors personal story and why they started eating this way. It’s pretty thorough when going over what you should know before starting. It doesn’t have a set meal plan but gives you recipes to pick and choose from and teaches you how to track your macros. Overall it had more variety of recipes than some of the other kept books I own and have used!

The Beginner's KetoDiet Cookbook is a newbie’s guide to a healthy diet for losing weight and managing diabetes and other serious illnesses. Includes 100 tasty whole food, low-carb recipes to help you break through weight-loss logjams and adapt to the Keto lifestyle for good.

Author Martina Slajerova says the first few weeks can be challenging as you adjust to burning fat rather than carbs. So each recipe is geared to meeting the key nutrient requirements of this phase. Sample recipes include Breakfast Chili, Avocado Power Balls and Dulce de Leche Fudge, which all sound delicious. 5/5

Grateful to the Quarto Publishing Group - Fair Winds Press and NetGalley for the early copy, in exchange for my true review.

#TheBeginner'sKetoDietCookbook #NetGalley

Yummy recipes in this KetoDiet cookbook. Some interesting recipes found inside to try with some being inspiration too. There are a good variety of options provided with easy to follow instructions and details about Keto.

Such a helpful and informative book for keto dieters. The recipes are easy and the pictures make you want to try them out. I really recommend this to people just starting keto to those who need more inspiration or have plateaued.

I am at now at the age (36) where weight will not come off, no matter what. I have heard many people have success from a Keto / low carb diet. However, each time I try to do some research on it, I don't know where to start and quickly give up. I LOVE how this book starts off with a basic and easy to understand explanation of a Keto diet and exactly where you should start.

How many carbs are in an apple, or a cucumber? In the past I quickly grew sick of looking this up each time I wanted a snack. This book is great by providing you an easy to read table of Total and Net Carbs for common foods (fruits, veggies, protein, seeds/nuts). Another favorite page of mine is the "Low Carb Swaps" section - This will take common indulgences/down falls and provide you with alternative substitutes as well as provide you with keto staples to keep in your fridge/pantry.

For me to be interested in a cooking book, the most important thing is PICTURES. I need a picture for every recipe. If there is not a picture for a recipe, I will not make it. The pictures that are included are beautifully, however, ideally I really think there should be a picture for EVERY SINGLE recipe.

I love the nutritional facts on each recipe - being a "diet" book I am extremely happy to see this at the bottom of each page.

I am extremely happy to see a drinks and desserts chapter - who doesn't need a treat now and again?

4 out of 5 stars. Would be 5 stars if more pictures.

The beginner's KetoDiet Cookbook.

I've been curious about the KetoDiet for a while. So when I had the chance to review this I was excited.

The book is very well done with lots of interesting recipes that even if you didn't want to follow Keto all the way, they would be good. The pictures are lovely as well. 

The author gives a very detailed explanation about having a KetoDiet and the many positive things about it.

I'd definitely recommend reading this book and I will be trying a few recipes myself.

This book has tons of information about Keto. As someone who is interested in this way of eating, I was very impressed with the outing. I loved the flavored butter section. All the recipes looked absolutely delicious. There are a lot of Keto books out there, but this in the only one I find to be worth buying.

The last two years have been the years of the Keto diet ! Having to understand all the right ratios of proteins, carbs and fats one would need to proceed has been overwhelming to me.
This book answers all the questions you might have about this new diet. It is a very informative book accompanied by a plethora of easy to follow recipes with beautiful photos.
The author is extremely knowledgeable on the topic.
I would definitively recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand and then expand their Keto endeavors.
More than a diet it is a lifestyle.

many Thanks to Fair Winds Press and to Martina Slajerova for this Advance Copy.

Great introduction to the Keto diet! Detailed explanation about what the diet is about and how it works in the body. Great for beginners with the pros and cons of the diet too. The recipes are clear an easy to follow and look delicious!

Thank you Netgalley and Fair Winds Press for an advanced copy of this book.

This is the best book for those interested in Keto, what it means, how it works, and how to start.

This book discusses the phases, how to move into these foods, things to look at if you aren't losing weight, allergies, actual studies, USDA based information, all of it. I love this book. This has answered so many questions I had regarding Keto.

Great book! Love keto and these recipes. They are easy to follow for beginners. Can’t wait to try them out.

A great resource for those starting out on Keto. It was very helpful to read and allowed those that were thinking of Keto to understand more and see that they could eat foods that they are use to. I think it could be a great asset to any kitchen even if they aren't full keto.

Whether or not one intends to be a Keto devotee, this cookbook contains recipes to inspire even the most reluctant reader. Cheesy spinach pancakes, cream of mushroom soup, three cheese crustless mini quiches, and harissa skillet chicken....yes!

#TheBeginner'sKetoDietCookbook #NetGalley

The basic rules of KetoDiet are explained including a useful carbs & protein table for the most common raw food. A creative and colorful collection of recipes based on the Ketodiet.

I received an ARC from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This cookbook was very informative and had some great recipes. It really simplified and broke down what Keto is, how to do it properly, what to expect, and it had tips and tricks. It has some really easy recipes (I haven’t tried them yet but I have some picked out that I can’t wait to try!) and some gorgeous pictures of the food.
Great book and I can’t wait to make these yummy recipes

Another great Keto book by Martina that makes you feel like the Keto diet is too good to be true. I look forward to more by her.

As someone new to trying keto eating, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of foods in this cookbook!

Wonderful, basic guidebook on the KetoDiet. I loved being able to locate basic and easy recipes, as well as understand the background and foundation. I have shared many recipes with friends and plan on utilizing this regardless of remaining on the diet.

The Beginner's KetoDiet Cookbook is an informational cookbook that thoroughly explains the science behind the Keto diet and with that offers easy to follow recipes, with easy to understand instructions, and fairly easy to obtain ingredients. I enjoyed the informative parts early on in the book and loved the easy to understand charts. I would describe this book as being one of the most user-friendly cookbooks out there for those interested in trying the Keto diet. I tried several of the recipes with my favorite chapter being soups and salads. I also loved the garlic and herb focaccia and brie egg muffins. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is planning to try the Keto diet. In The Beginner's KetoDiet Cookbook you will find food swaps, substitutes, carb counters, instructional information, a Keto staple grocery list, tips for success, recipes and so much more.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher Fair Winds Press for giving me the opportunity to review The Beginner's KetoDiet Cookbook by Martina Šlajerová.

Perfect for anyone looking to get into the keto diet. The book has a lot of useful information on the diet as well as easy to follow recipes. Recommended for public libraries that have a cookbook selection, especially those that focus on getting diet trend books.

If you were in any doubt about the Keto diet the photos alone in this book are enough to make you want to try it! A comprehensive, well laid out and easy to understand guide with some delicious recipes.

Thank you for an advanced copy of this book. Definitely one I will purchase and go over and over again. A wealth of information and great recipes.

This was such a great guide to have as I started my Keto journey. Several of these recipes have become frequent favorites at my house.

Can you imagine eating Focaccia on a Keto Diet? Well, thats where the ingenuity of the book comes in. Its made with flax meal and coconut flour. A veteran keto dieter might know this but for a beginner, this information is ketossential.

Cheesy Spinach pancakes. I will wakeup for that.

Pizza dutch baby (with cheese)

Cheesy Waffle stacks (cauliflower rice. Never had cauliflower for breakfast)

Green Skillet eggs (My friend taught me Frittata with all veggies. But making it exclusive gives it such a unique flair.)

Greek omelet

Jalapeno & Cheese Muffins (I have to make this)

California Crab Cakes (Nothing's off the table for a keto novice)

Kelp noodles , Shirataki Noodles, Zoodles (Oodles to learn about veggie noodles. Zucchini Noodles)

Nordic Salad

Fathead dough

collagen powder

Erythritol/Swerve

There are induction recipes too to help beginner keto adopters to ransition well and fight the cravings.

The last time I tried Keto, I was depending on chicken a lot which was not sustainable. I hope its more successful this time with these creative and appetising recipes.

To maintain keto lifestyle, you need a wide variety of recipes which is available in thei Beginner's KetoDiet cookbook.

This book was great for the keto begonner and seasoned keto eating person as well. The recipes were varied and sound delicious. There is lots of great advice toget you started on your Keto journey.

There is a lot of good information in the front of the book. The pictures are very nice but to be honest I was expecting recipes that were more like everyday food. These are more gourmet quality.. which is fine if that's what you're looking for. I was just looking for simple recipes , but it's a nice book.
