   Good recipes, but a number of proprietary products to buy as ingredients. Decent inspiration, though.

   Good book but too many meat focused recipes.

   This guy clearly has no idea what a keto diet means. Almost all of his recipes included honey or carrots. He must have run out of good ideas because he actually put as a recipe water with lemon and salt... and then actually wrote a recipe for it. There was no nutritional info for any of the recipes so you are flying blind when keeping track of your macros. He also wrote two chapters before the actual recipes where he tells you to only eat organic and don't drinks three types of water... florinat This guy clearly has no idea what a keto diet means.

He also wrote two chapters before the actual recipes where he tells you to only eat organic and don't drinks three types of water... florinated, distilled, and bottled. That basically leaves well water, which, sorry guy, not everyone has access to. I am glad I got this from the library instead of spending good money in it.

   I actually like that this book doesn't have calories and nutrients listed for every recipe. All the recipes avoid empty calories, the number of servings per recipe is always given and the resulting serving sizes are conservative enough. It's refreshing to not be focused on counting every single thing that can be counted. Instead, you just enjoy eating good food.

   Almost 40% of this book is explanation of the science behind keto. It was informative, but made me wonder when we were going to get to the recipes. I'm a fairly accomplished home cook, but most of these recipes are complex in either ingredients or technique, not what I was hoping for, although it did provide some inspiration.

   The author doesn't understand what a ketogenic diet is. It is a low-carb cookbook, but definitely not in line for what people who eat keto can eat. Also, the author spouts a lot of unproven and disproven conspiracy theories about food and "toxins". I've read a lot of keto books and recipes and would never recommend this one. But the pictures are pretty. The author doesn't understand what a ketogenic diet is. It is a low-carb cookbook, but definitely not in line for what people who eat keto can eat.

   I'm intrigued by the idea of cyclical ketogenic diets, but this book did a lousy job explaining the process in simple, straightforward terms. The recipes are complicated. I mean, fermented mustard? Whatever, dude. What I do like is the paragraph above each recipe explaining its reasoning and health benefits. But this book's recipes are WAY too complicated and fussy for my tastes.

   I would have like this more if the recipes would have given nutrition info instead of telling me to plug ingredients into an app.

   Some sources are cited, but not every source for every health claim that is made in this book. I wish the recipes contained nutritional information.

    What no nutritional counts? I liked the fermentation recipes. Unfortunately the recipes don’t include carb, and protein count per serving, nor what actually constitutes a serving.

    This is a very restrictive diet.

    First off, I'm not on a Ketogenic diet, I just liked how the recipes sounded. So I skipped the first part of the book which covers the Ketogenic keys to health, and went straight to part two, which covers the delicious looking recipes. Recipes I've tried: Fennel, Watercress, and Herb Salad with Shallot Dressing (pg 136). However, instead of watercress, I used arugula. Loved the herbs in the salad (it really make the salad pop), the dressing was delicious with the addition of the shallot.

I'm not super huge on the anise-like flavour (or licorice-like flavour) of fennel bulb, but this salad with good, the next day however the anise-like flavour was gone and it was great. So next time I make it, I'll slice the fennel bulb the day before. Also, I had to double the salad dressing because there simply wasn't enough. Iceberg Wedge Salad with Bacon and Egg (pg 140) Oh man, this was a delicious salad! I used four pieces of peppered bacon (from Whole Foods), and I had to again double the salad dressing recipe (starting to be a theme here...).
