Keto Meal Prep by FlavCity: 125+ Low Carb Recipes That Actually Taste Good (Keto Diet Recipes, Allergy Friendly Cooking)

I have a lot of Keto cookbooks but this is hands down the best so far. The book gets away from the same old standard Keto recipes and gives you lots of flavorful, easy to execute recipes. The book is chock full of NEW recipes vs redacted versions of same old, same old recipes like many of the Keto cookbooks seem to have. This book is a great compliment to the YouTube channel. If you are not a Keto novice and don’t need a whole section educating on the whole science of Keto and all the details into the nuances of Keto cooking, this book is it. I also feel that this book is also great for the beginner Keto-nian (totally made up word😄) because it is not overwhelming in presenting too much information making the Keto diet a little too intense for someone new to this lifestyle. A few of my favorite recipes SO FAR are Dessi’s Everything bagel and the Rebellious Shepherd’s pie (I subsitute grass fed ground beef for the lamb and it came out perfect for me). The book also includes a handy allergen index in the back that also lets the user know what recipes are Whole30 or Paleo friendly. If you are new to Keto, this book will fill ease your mind if you feared a boring flavorless diet as there is nothing but flavorful, user friendly recipes. If you are a pro Keto warrior, this will be a great addition to your cooking reiptoire as it will inject new and exciting meals to your Keto cooking. Hands down 5 stars! Totally worth purchasing! Btw, first and only review I have ever been inspired to write on any purchase on Amazon but I had to do it because you need to know!

First the actual book is quality. The cover, pictures and layout makes it look awesome and like an expensive cookbook. Each recipe has a picture and macros for each element which is fantastic. I only have one other cookbook that has macros listed and not by element like this one does. If I want to make chicken from one page and a side from another the macros are there so I don't have to calculate them myself. The pictures are down right gorgeous and a big reason why I got this cookbook. I like to see what I'm making before I do. This a keto book and it is true to form. We have one other keto book and some of those recipes have way too many carbs in them. The meal prep side is great. I always have an issue where I pick a main dish but no sides so we end up eating steak...with nothing else. This book have sides so no more skipping the veggies. The most important part, these recipes taste A-MAZ-ZING. Before committing to this cookbook I made a few things from the Flavcity blog to make sure the food was tasty, and it is. Recipes I've made and are in this book are the Game Day Guacamole, Rebellious Shepherd's Pie, Buttery Mashed Cauliflower and the Insane Green Beans. All were great and convinced me that I needed this cookbook. Since getting the book 2 days ago I've made the Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding and the Curry Chicken Salad. The pudding is a game changer and the chicken salad was fantastic. I highly recommend this book and not just for people on keto, I myself am not. This book has some great recipes and some healthy options that will work with almost any nutritional life style.

This cook book is so well thought out and the recipes are great. They truly are full of flavor and fun to make. The picture above is the first recipe I made out of the book. It's Crusty Pork Chops w braised Kale. I used a thick slices off a big pork loin I had in the freezer. Dish came out fantastic! The pork was so succulent and tasty with a great crust. I made enough for lunches for a few days and even on reheating it the pork stayed juicy. (I think using the THICK pieces as directed in the recipe is super important). I enjoyed the kale too. I watch Bobby and Dessi on youtube and have tried many of their recipes, mostly the ones with simpler everyday ingredients that I am used to using. This book has helped me try some of the recipes with more "exotic" ingredients. So far I've also made: Spinach & Feta Muffins - delicious and satisfying! Butter Basted Chicken w Creamed Spinach - really good, Tip turn the heat way down when you add the butter and garlic for the basting operation at the end, the creamed spinach was excellent Gnocchi w Pesto - wanh wanh - super tricky , my gnocchi totally fell apart in the last step where you're supposed to 'toss with the pesto', ended up being more of a mash/pancake than darling little crispy gnocci, still tasted great. I think I should have frozen them longer before cooking, watched the time that they were in the simmering water more carefully, and thinned out the pesto. I only cooked half of them, the rest are in the freezer so I will try again. Based on what I've tried so far, I am going to cook my way through this whole book. This would also be a great gift for the low carb foodies in your life. We are not really trying to lose weight or achieve ketosis but we do try to eat lo carb as we can. However Bobby has put detailed nutritional info in each recipe for those who need it. The book is really high quality and the photos are beautiful. Bobby's passion and personality jump right off the page. It's so cool to have references to videos right on the page (should have watched that gnocchi video!) Highly recommend. And congratulations on an amazing achievement (and your new baby!) Bobby and Dessi

Why? There are a number of reasons: Like good food? BUY THIS BOOK! Doing Keto/Paleo/ Whole 30? BUY THIS BOOK! Like photos for the recipes? BUY THIS BOOK! Want videos for the recipes? BUY THIS BOOK! Want macros? BUY THIS BOOK! This book meets all the above and more. There are recipes for keto/pales/Whole 30 and even some to appeal to those who are lactose/gluten intolerant. There are indicators for each recipe to let you know which one they fall into. If you like a recipe but it’s paleo and you are keto, some adaptations are indicated. The nutrition breakdown is with each one, too. Each recipe has a beautiful photo showing you what it looks like when done. Many of the recipes have been featured in videos on their You Tube channel. If so, the link is posted. And most of all, the food is good! I have made numerous recipes featured in the book and on the You Tube channel. All have been really good. Nothing has been mediocre or bland as I have discovered with other keto recipes. Yet, none are over the top spicy or hot either. If you love good tasting food, this is the book for you. Bobby and Dessi are approachable people. Check out their YouTube channel.

First off, these are good recipes with pictures. They work, taste good, and do what they should - low carbs, good nutrition, good taste. OK, what's the shortfall? Too many ingredients. It isn't complicated, but easy to assemble each recipe, but some just have more ingredients than I would like. Bad? No. It's worthwhile. Most ingredients you might already have. But that's my only negative.

There are over 125 recipes and each of them look so good. Flavcity has many recipe demos on Youtube as well as grocery hauls which help explain the best places to find certain ingredients. Bobby explains WHY he prefers certin ingredients or brands and how to substitueas needed )ex swap out the protein, eliminate the nut or the cheese and so on The book just came out but so far I have started at the front and will work my way through the book. Hope Amazon lets me add another review later when I have done more, taken photos, made a video. So far the shakshuka is great and so are the spinach & feta muffins. DELICIOUS! I just got the "everything bagel" seasoning and am going to try their bagel recipe. It makes it seem like I could really make them - and a healthy version at that. Never thought I could easily make my own bagels. Really, check out this book and also his flavcity channel on youtube. You will be glad you did. Bobby & Dessi have really tasty, healthy approachable recipes and these grow out of how they actually cook and eat at home. They sincerely seem to want to help us be healthier and more environmentally responsible. in our food choices. Their personality really comes through on each and every page. There is a photo for every recipe, and I love that becuse it really helps me as a home cook!. Each recipe is also "coded" if it i dairy free, paleo, whole30, etc. i need to pay attention to be conscious of staying more '"anti-inflammatory" in my dietary choices - and these recipes are perfect for helping me achieve that. I have been following Bobby & Dessi since 2012 on Youtube for healthy, meal prep type of ideas and am delighted they now have this cookbook out. Bravo!

First off, visually this cookbook is amazing. There are pictures for every single recipe and also some other more candid pictures of both Bobby and Dessi enjoying their recipes and cooking. The layout of the pictures, recipe instructions, macros, and other tips is very pleasing visually. The recipes in this book are healthy and made with real food. Bobby really puts a lot of other cookbooks to shame with this book. Even if you aren't Keto this cookbook will work for you. It is healthy through and through and he puts in so much effort and work on creating these recipes, it truly is an amazing accomplishment. The addition of tips, allergy information, macros, and also classifying either paleo, whole 30 approved, etc is a huge bonus. This cookbook isn't just dumping recipes and hoping to make a few bucks. He truly cares about producing a great product and creating great recipes to help the average person cooking, enjoy food, and live a healthier lifestyle. Bobby and Dessi knocked this cookbook out of the park. I can only imagine what they may come up with next in the cookbook category. They are doing great work. Bottom line, if you love food, love cooking, and want to eat healthier, buy this cookbook. It is worth it and your taste buds will thank you.
