Lots of great recipes for the keto lifestyle. Very beautifully illustrated! The fonts and the pictures really help make the book look classy. The personal touches at the start of each recipe are the perfect introduction.

There are some great recipes in this book, and the pictures included within its pages are absolutely beautiful. I wouldn't recommend this for beginners, as you need some cursory knowledge of ketosis itself before using this book, but the cookbook does include some helpful designations and a legend that will allow you to categorize everything you're eating. It would be nice if it included meal plans or grocery lists, but on the flip side, I appreciate the variety of the recipes and the categorizations. I would recommend this for anyone looking to make healthy, delicious keto recipes.

Thank you so much for the keto coobook. I have a lot of weight to lose and I am looking forward to using some of these recipes and hopefully it will bring me the success I want. The recipes look delicious and easy to make.

I won’t try everything in this book, but there are definitely some great sounding recipes for my new low carb lifestyle.

Some nice recipes, and it’s good to have a whole book of Keto recipes in one place, but tbh, they’re not particularly exciting or innovative, and there are some real oddballs.

I mostly liked the Eastern European ones, as they were not as familiar to me as all the others, and they’re the ones I’ll most likely make, but maybe not things like Ham and Cheese Fat Bombs or Cheeseburger Soup...

I wasn’t crazy about the look of the book though - quite old fashioned layout, graphics, and typefaces, so not one to drool over as a coffee table book, but quite a useful one to have for reference in the kitchen.

As someone who is new to the keto lifestyle, this book was a very helpful with lots of recipes. I really enjoyed that the recipes were easy to follow and that there were tips to help you stick to your new lifestyle. The pictures of the food looked delicious! The layout was great and I'm especially looking forward to making the keto tortilla recipe, since not being able to have tortillas for tacos was a huge deal breaker for me not trying to keto diet before.

Martina Šlajerová's new cookbook Keto All Day, is just that, a nice collection of recipes covering the three main meals of the day with additional recipes covering snacks, drinks, desserts and sauces all adhering to the Keto diet concept. Keto in its simplest form is eating foods that are low-carb and high in good fats. Šlajerová does a nice job covering the basics of the diet but this is not designed to teach keto but to offer interesting recipes for the keto follower. Each recipe is laid out with the detailed ingredients, easy to follow instructions and a brief intro that includes variations and tips. At the bottom of each recipe she has included the nutritional facts which I appreciated. I like the creativity of the recipes and the pictures included are very appealing. My boyfriend and I tried the bacon wrapped chorizo meatloaf that was very tasty and loaded with flax in it. I look forward to trying the rest.

I am a huge fan of Martina's blog, Keto Diet App and have the app on my iPad. I was so excited to flip through this book and see the new recipes she has to offer. And let me say this cookbook doesn't disappoint!! I love that there is a nice selection of international dishes from Italy, Mexico, France, India and so forth. I also like her "In 3 ways" recipe, for example, she shares how to make chocolate 3 ways. The first thing on my list to make is the waffle pizza! YUM Thank you, Martina, for another excellent cookbook.

Very well set out with a tempting selection of over one hundred recipes, this is a super book. There is a brief introduction and an explanation of how to use the book followed by eight chapters of recipes from homemade basics to desserts and sauces. Icons are used for quick reference to label recipes if they are dairy-free, vegetarian, nut-free, ideal for intermittent fasting, egg-free, high in electrolytes, nightshade-free and/ or induction-friendly. I think the photos are a real bonus as they are attractively presented for each recipe and make them more tempting. Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for an ARC.

Great Keto cookbook! I really appreciate: icons for nut free/ dairy free/ vegetarian, etc; grams/ oz listed along side of cups needed in the recipe; nutrition facts listed, and the photos of what the recipes really look like. I also like how some of the recipes have variations listed (like cauliflower rice 3 ways). I do need to pick up a few things for my pantry - like ghee and psyllium husk powder. Our favorite recipe so far is Ham and Cheese Bread Rolls. My hubbie wants the crispy chicken wings next, and when I feel adventurous, the Vegetable Rose Pie looks really cool!

I am still learning the keto diet. So I was grateful to be granted this book to let me explore some recipes for each meal time. I have not completely converted my carb dependent family but it is nice to know there are good recipes out there to choose from. I look forward to trying more of them in the near future.

This book was okay. I got about 10 receipes out of it. 3/5 stars I really liked how many pictures were in it and how detailed the instructions were!

This book is good resource whether you follow a ketogenic lifestyle or, like me, you're just keen to reduce the processed carbohydrates and sugar in your diet. With gorgeous photographs, full nutritional breakdowns of each recipe and handy tags for dietary requirements, finding a recipe for your needs is easy. Each recipe has a nice intro, which I always think gives a cookbook that added personality, and the steps are easy to follow. Most recipes have quite a few ingredients, but if the butter chicken I tried is anything to go by the little added effort is well worth it. Some recipes call for harder to find ingredients, such as liquid stevia or almond flour, but these are used in many different recipes so would be worthwhile cupboard additions. I can definitely see some of these recipes becoming family favourites, and I'm excited to try the cookie dough mousse!

The best keto cookbook I've read - and I've read over a hundred.

I started my keto journey four years ago before keto was a 'thing'. I quickly lost 75 lbs in a few short months and committed to the process. Unfortunately, I fell off the wagon and slowly gained back about 50 of those pounds over several years, and now travel full time. Keto isn't the easiest for me to follow while traveling (especially to tropical countries), so I'm always on the lookout for a keto cookbook that fits my needs.

What are my personal keto needs? Easy to make, simple ingredients, and something that appeals to my palate.

A lot of the keto cookbooks I've read miss on several of these requirements. Either they have weird ingredients (that I'm familiar with in North America, but not elsewhere), or they're repeats of the free recipes I've found online elsewhere. The most recent keto cookbook I've reviewed wasn't even keto!

The Keto All Day Cookbook fulfills all these needs of a devoted keto fan, and more. Yes, I've seen some of these recipes before (there are only so many veggies you can use if you're strict keto), and I'm familiar with the concept of 'induction' (the first few days, or weeks, where your body acclimatizes to burning fat instead of carbs). This cookbook covers them all, without the mumbo-jumbo that an experienced keto-tarian already knows. Added bonus - there are a few vegetarian recipes!

Highly recommended for experienced keto eaters in need of some new recipes, or newbies to keto that only need recipes and have a handle on the needs of this diet,

We were so looking forward to reading and using this Keto cookbook, but couldn't because I downloaded it onto my kindle which doesn't accept acsm files. I am so sorry I couldn't do a regular review and hopefully can find another copy of it in the future.

I really like this book. If I’m honest I had no idea what the keto diet was but keep hearing about it, it’s low carb essentially. Looking through the recipes in this book I was pleasantly surprised with the dishes on offer and how appetising they look. I can’t wait to try the cauliflower rice with halloumi which looks amazing. Pleasantly surprised.

Fair Winds Press and NetGalley provided me with an electronic copy of The Keto All Day Cookbook: More Than 100 Low-Carb Recipes That Let You Stay Keto For Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. I was under no obligation to review this book and my opinion is freely given.

This cookbook contains recipes that are designed for a Keto-friendly diet. The page layouts are very attractive and include both photographs and nutritional information, so that readers can get a true picture of the finished dishes. Divided into sections including Basics, Breakfasts, Snacks and Appetizers, Soups and Salads, Lunches, Dinners, Drinks and Desserts, and Extras, The Keto All Day Cookbook is organized in a logical fashion that follows the traditional progression of a meal.

Somewhat new to the idea of a Keto diet, I was surprised to learn how involved the recipes can be, often including ingredients that may be unfamiliar to some readers. The Keto diet is one that I would not recommend to readers without the advice of a doctor, but using some of the recipes in this book as occasional meals can help inspire a new way of eating. Not all Keto recipes are high fat and many are nutritionally balanced between fat, protein, and low carbohydrates.

The breakfast recipes include too many variations on egg dishes and not enough of anything else. Many of the appetizers and snacks are heavy, laden with creamy butter and eggs. I would like to try the Peri Peri Roasted Nuts (p. 49), as they are nutritionally balanced and a great way to combat those mid-day cravings. In the soup and salad section, Keto variations of Hungarian Goulash (p. 66) and Chicken Caesar Salad with Poached Egg (p. 72) are interesting twists of classic favorites. The low starch lunches are mostly labor intensive, making preparation the day before a key component for success. The recipe that I would most like to make is the Mexican Chicken Bowls (p. 85), as the avocado-feta salsa that makes up the base of the dish is a well seasoned and flavorful backdrop to the marinated chicken. In the high fat dinners section, there are vegetarian dishes as well as meat ones. Broccoli Mushroom Alfredo Casserole (p. 94) will have eaters not missing the meat in this well balanced and tasty dish. Healthy Fish Sticks with Tartar Sauce (p. 97) can be made kid friendly or lunch appropriate as Fish Tacos, with its slaw providing crunch and tartar sauce for its creaminess. Keto Kung Pao Chicken (p. 114) has an explosion of flavor with its marinated chicken and nutritionally sound vegetables. There are some amazing sugar-free drinks and desserts, like Chocolate and Raspberry Truffles (p. 142) and Creamy Dark Hot Chocolate (p. 154). Finally, the author ends the cookbook with sauces and marinades, the perfect accompaniments to many different dishes.

Some of the ingredients in this cookbook are expensive and many not be readily available, so that is something that readers should keep in mind when choosing The Keto All Day Cookbook. I found a lot of the main dishes to be intriguing and I look forward to trying some of the recipes, although I am skeptical about making a switch to a Keto lifestyle.

A book to help the fully committed to enjoy a keto lifestyle.

The keto diet is very low in carbs, moderate in protein and relatively high in "good" fats. The ideal is to reach and maintain a state of ketosis by eschewing carbs. In ketosis, fats are broken down into ketones which are used by the body as fuel. Thus it makes eminent sense to have a cookbook covering all meals and snacks.

This is the author's fifth book and is essentially a greatest hits collection with some new recipes.

The book is well written, and with enthusiasm. The author is an excellent evangelist for the keto lifestyle. It includes nutritional information and very good photography of each finished dish.

Some recipes use common ingredients. Others necessitate the use of keto substitutes, sometimes heavily so e.g. the recipe for keto sourdough buns. So not for the halfhearted!
