The Ultimate Guide to Keto Baking: Master All the Best Tricks for Low-Carb Baking Success

This is the newest and most anticipated cookbook by Carolyn Ketchum. I saw her at a book signing and she is as gracious as you can imagine and has such a passion for keto baking that really came through. This book was definitely a passion project and it shows. I could sit and listen to her all day because of her enthusiasm and knowledge on the subject of keto baking. The one thing that is really interesting is that she follows a keto diet to manage her type 2 diabetes, not for weight loss. If you follow a keto diet or just want to make delicious recipes while cutting sugar out of your diet this is the cookbook for you. I have all her cookbooks and they are all the real deal. She manages to cut out sugar and carbs and make things taste awesome! In the beginning of the book she does a great job of explaining the science behind keto baking and has done extensive research on nut/low carb flours and all the sweeteners and how they work together to make things turn out delicious without losing the texture and flavor. Then come the recipes! She has a full page beautiful picture of each and every recipe. There are plenty of savory recipes in there so they aren't all desserts. There are so many recipes I can't wait to try I honestly don't know where to start. I'm definitely making the cowboy cookies because I'm missing the texture of oatmeal cookies(there is not oatmeal in the recipe), I also can't wait to try the dairy-free lemon cake. She has plenty of dairy free recipes also and gives plenty of substitutions if you are trying to cut back on dairy. The recipes are all easy to follow and contain ingredients that are not hard to find. If you follow a keto or low carb diet and want to eat amazing desserts this book is a must!

If you keto is a long term lifestyle for you and you miss your favorite baked goods, then you NEED this book! It really is the ultimate guide to keto baking. I read through the entire book, cover to cover, and Carolyn Ketchum is truly knowledgeable of the science behind low carb baking and how it differs from conventional baking. I also love how each recipe discusses possible substitutes and modifications for certain ingredients. The directions are expertly written and leave no confusion to the reader. The guide alone to keto baking, at the beginning of the book, is indispensable. The variety of recipes given is amazingly vast, you will surely find many within that you are interested in trying. As a novice baker, I found the recipes very easy to follow -- I definitely felt like my hand was being held, but had the confidence to make substitutions where indicated. The first recipe we tried was the Yellow Birthday Cake, for my birthday no less, along with the Swiss Meringue Buttercream.. and OMG! It all turned out perfect. We topped it with sugar free sprinkles, too. Don't even get me started on the brownie recipes in the book, the chocolate brownies are seriously better than the brownies I had eaten prior to beginning my keto journey. I can't wait to try more recipes, like the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Blondies, Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake, and the Cowboy Cookies. I think it really says something that the recipes in this book have turned out so well for me that I have complete trust that any other recipes I try in this book will turn out great. I've followed several well-known keto recipe authors, and in my opinion, Carolyn has the most trust-worthy recipes. Making keto baked goods that taste this good, truly feels empowering.

If you want to lose weight, but you have wicked love for sweet and tasty desserts and breads, this is the one book I would recommend--chocked full of yummy recipes sure to satisfy! Of course, even these delectable treats can't be enjoyed non-stop, but i have a small treat everyday, and I have lost almost 50 lbs on Keto. What I love about this book is two-fold. It has wonderful directions, including the perfect utensils and pans to use, how to get the perfect measurements, and what ingredients will deliver the best results for any dish. And, as mentioned earlier - full od fabulous recipes. After trying several from internet posts, I decided I had to have this book in my collection. You can serve most of these yummy desserts to friends and family...if you're willing to share. I'll think about it!

LOTS of Recipes. Color recipe pictures look great and appetizing. Recipes are simple and easy to follow.

I was diagnosed with diabetes & Chronic Kidney Disease 1 year ago. Both are now very well controlled. The one thing I missed a lot was baking. Traditional cookbooks & recipes all the way from my Grandma up to today contain too many ingredients that are considered no longer good for your body. The main issue for me is sugar, carbs, and sodium. After reading so many great reviews, I purchased Carolyn Ketchum's "The Ultimate Guide to Keto Baking" book. This book is a gamechanger. It's everything covered under all the positive reviews so be sure to read those too; I won't duplicate here. The pictures, ingredients, explanations, instructions, and tips are very much appreciated. The variety is awesome. SO many cookbooks do NOT provide the breakdown on the nutrition facts: this book does for every recipe. Yes...you must buy 'good' substitutes for most recipes but look at what the 'bad' ingredients have done to us over the years. Finally feel like there are some really great recipes/approaches out there now & this book is extremely well done. Is it worth it? Weighing in at almost 3 pounds - yes! Can't wait to begin baking again.

This book is full of great ideas and recipes. I actually love the details about ingredients even more than the recipes. I like that each recipe has a carb count. The only thing I wish is that the baked good were less sweet. Part of being in ketosis is to not trigger one's sweet tooth/insulin reaction. I am able to reduce the sweetener in many of the recipes, but not all will be the same after than change. Example--the biscotti work perfectly with half the sweetener, but the lemon squares do not.

Me encanta lo claro que explica las recetas

I like the layout looks very professional I bought it because it has all kind of baking but my only disappointment it doesn't have bread!!!!!!!

I stumbled across this lady’s channel on YouTube. Best thing that ever happened! I was desperate for some treats and this book has provided some fantastic recipes i can’t wait to try. It’s very informative. The recipes are reasonably simple and they are the kinds of good ol’ treats we all love. Cakes, cookies and biscuits, scones, some truely scrumptious cakes, to mention only a few. I just need too round up some keto versions of the ingredients, then I’ll probably guts myself with a whole pan of Scottish shortbread!

I am not an expert or great cook but all the more reason for praising this book. If I can make delicious desserts from this book, anyone can! My pics show I am not super artistic but trust me, the desserts taste lovely and friends can testify. Carolyn’s recipes are easy to follow and there’s plenty of additional information throughout the book. It’s an absolute gem. So far, I’ve made muffins, chocolate cake and a fabulous cheesecake none of which you’d even guess were Keto. Eat without guilt. Some of the ingredients are unconventional, but you don’t need to worry about it not working out. The flavours balance well. Carolyn has obviously tested the recipes thoroughly. I’m looking forward to trying the savouries next.

Absolutely love it. The photos are all beautifully taken so the goal is clear. With ingredients clearly printed out there is no need to search an online blog and read thru tons of info just to get to a recipe. Very useful tool. Also great for when you run out of ideas . Have ordered another keto cookbook by the same author together with this but this one arrives first, within 3 days. Very happy with purchase.
