Keto can get a bit boring, but this book really shows how to do it well. Everything is flavorful and pretty simple, but delicious.

Keto BBQ hands down probably one of the most versatile Keto cookbook I’ve found focused on easy summer recipes. Although when I say summer I can honestly say I will use the recipes year round. I simply refer to the fact it’s a cookbook revolving around BBQ recipe style meals. Plenty of delicious fair for anytime of year! I love the glazed rubs and variety of sauces listed. Most of the recipes are easy to make , follow and prepare. The pictures nsje the food look delicious I just wish there were more pictures in the book. However, that’s a personal preference and the ones in the book are very well presented I definitely recommend this cookbook to any keto dieter.

Keto BBQ by Faith Gorsky and Lara Clevenger, what can I say? Many good recipes and I will be using several of these recipes as they are really good, especially the rubs. There is a good variety of other recipes to use as well.
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for an arc of this books for an honest opinion.

Keto BBQ is filled with so many delicious recipes. This is a must-buy for those on the ketogenic diet.

Look, anyone on a diet has a hard time when it comes to parties and entertaining but especially those following the Keto way of life. Summertime is filled with sticky sweet foods that can totally throw a carefully crafted and planned diet out the screen door. Keto BBQ helps those of us with our carefully crafted and tended diets enjoy the summertime fare with the rest of 'em.

The book contains a well-rounded summer fare of salads, meats, side dishes, desserts, and even drink recipes. I am super excited about the sauces provided. The book starts with sauces, like varied bbq sauces, marinades, rubs, etc, and then provides recipes where a few can be blended to create something super delicious sounding.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about the book. The ingredients are simple. The recipes are described in very simple and manageable instructions. The pictures are beautiful. AND, I'm ravenously hungry now.

If you or friends or family are on or going Keto, this is a definite cookbook necessity!

KETO BBQ
This book is chock full of BBQ recipes that will keep you on a keto diet. From marinades, dressings, side sides, main entrees, desserts to drinks. There is a wide variety of items to choose from. I feel like this is helpful for anyone on keto.

BBQ (specifically pulled-pork) and the American-style Barbecue (with all the fixings) is one of my favorite types of food. I could eat it any time of year, but as someone who has to eat low-carb and low-sugar foods for my health, it's often hard to find delicious foods for a barbecue that are also healthy. This book provides so many mouth-watering recipes that are easy to follow and track nutrition. I would recommend these recipes, and this book, to my friends who don't even live a ketogenic lifestyle.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ -- Yummy!

KETO is my preferred way of eating most of the time. It's what makes me feel the best health wise. So I am always looking for new recipes to try out and keep things "fresh". Bonus, it is Summer now and what better than a cookbook dedicated to BBQ?!

There was a lot of variety, from dry rubs, sides, to desserts, and everything in between. The recipes were well laid out and easy to follow. Nutritional information is included for each recipe. Of course, what cookbook wouldn't be complete without some delicious looking photos. Although, I wish there had been more photos. 🤷🏻‍♀️ That said, I can't wait to give a bunch of these recipes a try (coffee dry rub??!! Yes, please!!)

Great recipes for BBQ and lots of terrific sides. If you thought you couldn't enjoy BBQ on keto, you were wrong.

I received a free copy of this book via Netgalley. My review is voluntary.

One of the great challenges of the Keto way of eating is that nearly every sauce is full of sugar. The great strength of this book is that it features fifty pages of keto-fied sauces and condiments for keto followers who wish to have a sugar free option that still tastes great. I have followed the keto way of eating for several years so I am familiar with the challenges of finding good sauce recipes that still taste like the "real" thing.

This book offers a variety of dry rubs as well as sauces, marinades and condiments which I personally found more valuable than any of the somewhat generic grilling info. Being able to make delicious BBQ dishes or even being able to bring my own sauces if needed is very helpful and a huge relief, to know exactly what I am consuming in the sauces.

After having tested a few of the sauces however, I wonder if the writer needs to verify their ratios. I have cooked with these sweeteners for years and am very familiar with how they work, however I found many of the sauces to be far too sweet. As many of the sauces (and rubs and marinades) are based on a recipe that came before it, the sweetness becomes an issue. For instance, if I were making the regular ketchup again, I would cut the allulose by at least half, using only a quarter cup and cook it for 5-10 minutes at least, so that it begins to thicken slightly. Language that allows for this flexibility at the beginning, or suggesting the user start with less sweetener might be helpful.

I'm not strictly keto but I am doing low-carb again so this cookbook came at the perfect time. From sauces and dressings, to burgers and buns, this cookbook covers it all. And many actually look and sound appetizing! I would love to see more photos, I'm a huge fan of a photo for each recipe, so I know how the end result should look! I'm excited for all of the varieties of burgers and scared to make the hamburger buns. lol.

Keto BBQ by Faith Gorsky and Lara Clevenger was full of interesting recipes that I cannot wait to try this summer. The pictures make the food look delicious and healthy!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this book! I've been keto for 2.5 years and one of my personal challenges has been adapting summer recipes, especially my BBQ sauces. I tried several rubs and sauces in this galley and have preordered the book. Can't wait to find and enjoy some new favorites. Thanks so much for the preview!!

I know that half the country it seems must be on the Keto train right now. Whether you are or aren’t a passenger on that train, don’t fret… this book is for everyone! With its fabulous ideas for BBQ meats and the healthy vegetable side dishes, this is a truly helpful cookbook for almost every way of eating.

Our family has been trying out different marinades lately when we BBQ and we’ve found a couple we like from Pinterest. But when I looked through the marinades in Keto BBQ, I … was … salivating! And all the great side dishes are perfect for me when I’m trying to focus on eating more vegetables.

I so appreciate receiving the ARC ebook but it wasn’t enough to satisfy me so I went out and bought it today! It definitely deserves a place on my Cookbook shelf. Bonus: My meat-eating husband can’t wait for it to get here!

Very impressed with this keto cookbook! Things I love: very very thorough. I love all the details, all the rubs, the detailed cooking instructions. I enjoy that they have more basic recipes (grilled chicken thighs) along with a bunch of specialty or more unique recipes. Sides and desserts included too! I just wish more recipes had pictures as I am very visual. Overall super impressed and I will buy this for my bookshelf.

Grilling season is here and if you do keto or are trying to think up keto friendly ideas for your friends and family, this is a great place to start! Keto BBQ comes out May 4th, 2021.

This cook book is easy to follow and full of great ideas for BBQ season from the main menu to sides and drinks.

The recipes I'm the most excited to try first are: the Greek Burgers with Tzatziki, Loaded Mashed "Potatoes" (cauliflower), Cheddar Cauliflower Mac and Cheese, Blackberry Coconut Sorbet, and Strawberry Lemonade! Seriously the Sorbet looks especially amazing to go with these warm Spring and Summer days.

As any good cookery reader knows a good cookbook starts with pictures. That is something that this book does have going for it heavily. After reading this book, I picked only a few things to try to make because not everything looked wonderful. These recipes did turn out as they stated they would so that is also a plus to this book. Overall, it was a good addition to the Keto cookbooks but I will be honest everything in here I have seen at least a dozen times before.

Keto BBQ will be a great addition to a keto lover's cookbook collection. It's great a tool for tackling all things summer, barbecuing, and grilling!

It starts with a general overview of the keto diet and quickly moves into the barbecue basics. There's an entire chapter for rubs. Plus a chapter each for brines/marinades and sauces/glazes. Hello summertime!

The book also covers condiments, chicken, beef, pork, sausages/hot dogs, seafood, salads, sides, drinks, and dessert. It's really everything you need for a successful barbecue.

I personally love for a cookbook to be full of pictures and this didn't include quite enough for my taste, However, I'm sure the tasty recipes will make up for what it lacked in visual appeal.
