New Keto Cooking: Fresh Ideas for Delicious Low-Carb Meals at Home Paperback – December 8, 2020

I follow chefMichael.keto on Instagram and I LOVE the recipes he posts there and have made so many of them numerous times so it was a no-brainer for me to purchase his new cookbook!! I made the Pork Chops with Creamy Mushroom Sauce the day it came in they meal and it was so easy and delicious!! I have made his celery root and onion latkes before and I honestly could not tell that they were not made with potatoes, (they were that good!!!), that next on my list to make from the new cookbook is The Perfect Mashed "Faux-Tatoes" that are not made with cauliflower but once again.... celery root!!! It's a game changer!!!I switched to a full "keto" diet almost 2 years ago. I went all-in with this lifestyle change and I really love it because it has built upon ingredients and dishes that I already love, has helped me lose weight and keep it off as a woman in my 50's, and has moved me from pre-diabetic status to no sign of it at all. I enjoy both normal and lovely meals and I can find plenty of both in this book and would highly recommend it for anyone keeping a keto or low-carb lifestyle. I can hardly wait for Michael's next cookbook to be released!!! 😉

Let me tell you! (I have a lot to say...) First of all, and most importantly, this cookbook has pictures for every single recipe. STUNNING. Like most of us, I eat with my eyes so pictures are IMPORTANT. In addition, I can't tell you how many times I've purchased a cookbook only to be met with rare ingredients I've either never heard of or things you can't easily find at the store. So frustrating for a lazy cook like me! That is not the case with this book. The ingredients are reasonable and each recipe is straight and to the point. One reason I love Chef Michael is because he teaches techniques that flavor your food in addition to ingredients. Sometimes it's not about WHAT you put into a recipe but HOW you make it. I can't wait to dig in and make some of these delicious meals.If you have an Instagram, be sure to follow him, too. He whips up some awesome stuff! Perhaps my absolute favorite thing about him is how humble he is. He shops at Aldi, y'all! That stuff matters! He's awesome :)

I think this cookbook is an excellent choice for those who are either in ketosis or are cooking for anyone who is. It’s a very nice collection of recipes that look delicious. Cooking any of the recipes feels very approachable and easy to accomplish. I’ve tried a few recipes so far and everything has been yummy.Why I love it:- well done photos on every page to accompany the instructions- easy to understand explanations on each recipe- the recipes are great and extremely palatable even for non-keto- every recipe has ingredients listed in grams (super important when you want to weigh ingredients and stay consistent in your cooking)- well balanced variety of recipes- there is a reference guide at the back of the book that is pretty useful (meat temps, cooking oils, and salt)- Chef Michael also gives out an additional macro chart for free on his website because he cares that much

I don’t often write reviews, but I really wanted to for this book bc the author truly deserves 5 stars. We have made several of the recipes and each one has come out exactly as described. I feel like each dish was so well thought out and the recipe clearly written out and easy to follow. Chef Michaels’s instruction in each recipe is clear and detailed and so you feel like you are a chef making quality dishes that not only are delicious but that you’d be proud to serve to guests. I’ve been doing keto for about 4 yrs now and I have a few Keto cookbooks. And although I’ve enjoyed some recipes in those books, I find myself mostly thinking, “yeah, that was good for a keto dish.” This cookbook although keto, is not just a good keto cookbook. It’s an excellent cookbook in general. The dishes are just excellent. Period.

This cookbook has great recipes, but they are not as price savvy as his other recipes. I have many recipes I plan to try, but most for special occasions. Which makes sense since this is not sold as an easy or family cookbook. I would buy it again though. The pound cake is great. I will update as I try more recipes.

These recipes are fantastic, from a real chef who competed in the Master Chef finals. Michael Silverstein eats KETO himself, so his recipes are truly tested. He also has the gift of being able to translate great tasting KETO food into easy recipes for the home cook. This is a TRUE KETO cookbook for those of us who are serious about the lifestyle. Check out Michael Silverstein's other KETO cookbooks as well - they are ALL worth the money!

This is a great cookbook with beautiful pictures and easy to follow instructions. I would say the recipes are more “low carb” than keto. Some of the recipes use ingredients such as tomatoes, marinara, wine, peanut butter which are more challenging with keto.

So far I am in love with this cookbook and can't wait to try all the recipes!! The recipes I've tried so far have been amazing (cheesy Brussels sprouts gratin and the faux potatoes - pictured). I am a self-proclaimed foodie and I love to cook (most times I prefer to cook than eat out). If you're looking for flavorful keto recipes, look no further (these recipes are more sophisticated than many of the standard keto recipes that seem to always include cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, heavy cream, broccoli, cauliflower and ground beef - which can be delicious, but a bit one note); however, the ingredients include pantry staples (easy to source, nothing too exotic) and the recipes include a manageable number of ingredients. Also, there are pictures of each recipe and suggestions about which side/sauce/etc. to pair with the main entrees.
