A few users were disappointed about some time-consuming recipes and hard-to-find particular ingredients. The cookbook uses coconut oil for dairy-free recipes and a few users found it as a disadvantage (since they are not big coconut lovers).

Perfect Gift For:

People were generally happy with the “Keto Comfort Foods” cookbook because it prevented them from having cheating days. There are so many ingenious ways to recreate your childhood favorites that you inspire your kids to eat sugar & gluten-free comfort foods together with you, making them feel good afterward. Furthermore, a few natural healthcare physicians recommend this cookbook for their patients as a great starting point for healthy Keto dishes, which also improves their well-being.
The cookbook not always includes serving sizes. Even though it includes, the recipes are for 8, 10 servings, and if you want to make a smaller portion, then you need to make a counting job. Not everyone succeeded in making recipes tasty or edible. Hmm, it’s hard to judge the cookbook when each of us has different cooking skills. Right?

There is only one aspect that one user got upset about – failure while cooking. Particularly – undercooked chicken. But at least the person admitted to the lack of his/her cooking skills. Even though the recipes have clear instructions to follow, sometimes we might fail because we have a different oven or slightly diverse ingredients. I failed many times while preparing Keto meals because I am a total newbie in cooking overall and sometimes I lack common sense in the kitchen. Embracing my mistakes helps me succeed the next time. Once cooking errors appear, understand why they happened and try again.

5. Keto Instant Pot: 130+ Healthy Low-Carb Recipes For Your Electric Pressure Cooker Or Slow Cooker
Looking to cook at lightning speed? If yes, then “Keto Instant Pot” cookbook recipes help you make delicious meals in minutes.
Perfect Gift For:
- Busy people who don’t have hours to spend in the kitchen.
- People having an instant pot or slow cooker or wanting to buy it (better instant pot as cookbook title indicates).
This is a very popular cookbook with many users, who have an instant pot or slow cooker. Furthermore, users appreciate Maria’s detailed descriptions of how to use the Instant pot (IP) the right way and how to diagnose IP fails. People who don’t have an instant pot but have a slow cooker, succeed in Keto cooking too. Also, the cookbook includes instructions on how to cook leftovers, so busy people like you can serve the family delicious meals at lightning speed.
There are some downsides to this cookbook. Firstly, experienced cooks say that many recipes suppose to have multi-step cooking, for instance, finishing the meal process in the oven, not only cooking in an instant pot or slow cooker. Secondly, many readers complained about editing errors. And finally, some users noticed that the Keto meter has gone. In most cookbooks, Maria added Keto meters indicating where each recipe ranks on the Keto “scale”: low, medium, or high. This quick visual indicator lets you know how appropriate each recipe is for your weight loss or any other Keto goal. Overall, though, the cookbook is quite new (published on 2018 December) and it has a ton of positive comments which shows that people simply love it.

6. Easy Dairy-Free Ketogenic Recipes: Family Favorites Made Low-Carb And Healthy

Users love this “Easy Dairy-Free Ketogenic Recipes” cookbook because its recipes deliver absolutely delicious and tasty flavors for each meal. Who could think dairy-free would taste so good and you could serve entire your family?

Furthermore, they felt better and have more energy than before starting this Keto dairy-free diet. Sounds quite promising, right?
Many users felt upset because almost every recipe calls for sugar substitute “Swerve” or uses a huge number of eggs. And not everyone agrees that it’s the correct approach to a healthier way of eating. Overall, though, Keto fans are grateful for a variety of recipes to keep them cooking creatively and dairy-free.
