I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. This was okay, but I'm not sure that I would use many of the recipes.

Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Random House Canada for the digital advance reading copy of this book. I was having problems with the ARC I received as the recipes kept splitting and I would be reading a recipe and then the second half would be a different recipe. So I read the actual book instead.

I love the idea of eating good fat and adding more of it to your diet. There are 15 recipes in this book that I would eat on a regular basis. The only problem I have is that I am both lazy and very allergic to tree nuts. This becomes a problem because a lot of the recipes in this book call for almond flour and I am way to lazy to try and figure out which flour provides the same nutrients without possibly killing me and at what ratio. It also would have been nice to see the caloric breakdown of each recipe, how much fat are you getting per serving?

I would recommend this book to anyone looking to add healthy fats into their diet; who isn't allergic to tree nuts or too lazy to find a substitution.

I thought this was a fairly good introduction to healthy fats for the average holistic approach to eating. The author provided an extensive list of healthy fats, plenty of very easy-to-moderate level recipes that I knew I could make. The food photography was good, if not inspired. I think books about healthy fats help us come a long way from our anti-fat diet days of the 1980’s and assist in promoting whole food diets. There was a very large amount of recipes that required ghee; not that ghee is a bad thing, its a great healthy fat, I was just continually made aware of how much ghee was a staple of this cook’s recipes.

I have been a longtime fan of Lee Capatina's ghee products for a while, and have tried a couple of recipes on her blog, so I was intrigued when I heard that she was writing a cookbook.

For anyone interested in adding good fats to their diet, Eat Good Fat is a relatively easy way to get started. There are recipes for every part of your day, and for a health-based book, every recipe appears appetizing.

I received an ARC through NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Eat Good Fat was a really great book to introduce you to good and healthy fats and how to incorporate it into your diet. I loved reading about Lee's own journey with food and how she came to learn and adopt a healthy lifestyle. The recipes looked delicious and the images that accompanied them were amazing. I look forward to buying some ghee and trying out a few of these recipes!

Are you looking for ways to bring more good fats into your diet? Then this is the book for you.

In addition to some yummy recipes, there is easily understood explanations of what constitutes good fats and not so good fats and why this is important . I've made several of the recipes and they were all lovely. Do note, though, that this isn't a "keto" book though I'm sure those that do Keto could eliminate some of the carbs.

Thanks for the ARC to the publisher and Lee Capatina.

There's lots to love about this photo-heavy cookbook of delicious looking recipes, and lots that made me want to pull my hair out. It's written by an ex-model turned nutritionist who runs a company selling ghee and related items, and is filled with Instagram worthy photos of every dish.

What exasperated me right off the bat is that she provides no nutritional information for any of the recipes. There's no way of knowing how much fat, fiber, carbs, protein or calories are in any of it, even though she talks about diets like keto where you obviously have to count carbs very strictly. She's a nutritionist writing about healthy fat and she provides no nutritional information for her recipes?

Secondly, she provides no references at all for any of her claims about the health benefits of fats. I just finished a book by a respected doctor who recommended limiting fats and increasing fiber in order to turn around medical problems, and he provided literally dozens of pages of references. Here, we just have to take her word for it that she knows better. And that's fine -- most people who pick up this book will already be believers. But at least throw a few studies in there, something.

Thirdly, this is a rather carb heavy book for a book about eating fat. I personally have nothing against healthy carbs and do not limit them, but it struck me as odd. Keto folks are likely to be really annoyed at how many carbs are in so many of the recipes, especially since they have no way of knowing how many that is without the aforementioned nutritional information. There are a lot of carbs that most people consider healthy but are still carbs, like millet, dates, coconut sugar, tapioca flour, oats, sourdough bread, maple syrup, bananas, farro, potatoes and so on. Many of the recipes look like they're very low carb, but it's going to be tricky for anyone who's not a real pro at low-carb to really suss them all out if that's important.

That said, there's a lot to like. The food sounds good, though the ingredients tend to be rather pricey. The photos are the best part of the book. They're beautiful and make every dish look mouthwatering. Mot recipes are either gluten free or can be converted to GF, and it will be easy for paleo folks to follow for the most part (as long as they're okay with ghee, which is very heavily featured). Vegans won't find a lot here, and vegetarians will also have to substitute heavily since many dishes like salads and soups have bacon, chicken and seafood added.

This ended up not being a good fit for my family but others are likely to love it. If nutritional information had been provided I would have given it 4 stars instead of 3.

I read an ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

Eat Good Fat…whoa slow down now, fat, did you say FAT!! Oh shut the front door, fat is a dirty word and we can’t say things like that… This cookbook is fabulous it focuses on healthy fats which your body needs to stay healthy and gives you some really mouth watering recipes to try (which I will be trying a lot of them for sure). There is a beautiful pictures with almost every recipe and to me that sells the recipes as I eat with my eyes first. nom nom nom
