The Keto Crock Pot Cookbook: Quick And Easy Ketogenic Crock Pot Recipes For Smart People

Pros:Good recipes, easy to follow, table of contents very helpful.Cons:No nutrition information which is frustrating because i have to look up the net carbs for each ingredient. For example, butternut squash and leeks are very high in net carbs but they are used in some of the soups which worried me. But after all of the other ingredients added, the net carbs per serving were acceptable. However if the carbs/ fiber/ fat/ and protein was calculated and printed with each recipe, finding the macros would have been easier.

Eating keto and exercising regularly easily lead me to eating a lot of the exact same stuff. I spend a lot of time prepping and cooking vegetables and meats mostly - so I bought a new slow cooker many months ago, but still ended up eating the same stuff over and over. A very good feature about these recipes is that they are easy to follow - but detailed nutrition info for the recipes ISN’T included, in case you’re looking for that. I wasn’t - so if you’re a veg and meat mostly kind of person you’ll be very satisfied with this cookbook also. And extra spices and other ingredients besides the big ones are almost always easily found in a supermarket.Additionally, my girlfriend - who of course has more preferences for how things should taste (Specifically, GOOD lol) was pleasantly surprised about with a few of the recipes I made so far. So, it passes the girlfriend test.Two quick notes also - as others have mentioned here, my book had no pictures inside - just b&w text, and most of the recipes are to be cooked in 4 hrs (in case overnight/all day timing is an issue for anyone).

Overall I am disappointed with this cook book. For starters, there are no pictures. But the biggest drawback now for me not recommending this cook book is that there is a couple of recipes with ingredients left out. Most annoying is the butter chicken recipe where it does not list canned tomatoes or actual butter until the preparation part and then does not mention how much. Also, some of the recipes are not even true Keto and can be deceiving to people first starting out the Keto diet. For instance, the ingredient soy sauce is used.

So I had checked reviews, but gave this a shot. Beyond the no pictures and no nutrition information, which is annoying but not the end of the world, I will agree with other reviewers who found the content odd. Not a lot of main dishes, a lot of odd side dishes, a lot of shrimp dishes (who cooks seafood in a crockpot????) and a lot of dips. Dips???? you're doing super low carb, so no starches or breads, and you have to watch your veggie carbs closely, what exactly are you dipping in all these dips. It was so weird I didn't even donate it, I threw it away.

This book was next to useless. Sure it had a lot of what looked like tasty recipes in it, but it didn't bother to include any of the nutrient information for the recipes. Since this book is literally for the Keto diet, that seems like a glaring omission. All in all, if you're trying to be Keto, avoid this one.

Some of the recipes seem good and there are some good suggestions.The recipes seem very easy to follow and I would give it more stars if it was an ordinary cook book. However, this is supposed to be a 'keto' cook book and there is absolutely zero nutrition information provided. How can anyone use this book to plan meals while on a Keto diet without knowing how many grams of fat, carbs, and protein are in a serving? I know I can calculate all the information myself....maybe that's why the cover of the book says it's 'for smart people'?...but I was hoping for a little help with that. Not impressed.

I like the types of recipes included. The instructions are vague in many of the recipes, but I "winged" it if I didn't understand. It's fine for someone who cooks often, but for my son, who wanted some of the recipes and RARELY cooks....was not very clear.

What good is a 'keto' cookbook if you don't list the fat, carb, protein breakdown, no calories either? I will be returning this book.

Useful recipe book

One of my goals this year is to learn how to cook healthier meals for myself. This book is the perfect guide to learn how to make fast and easy ketogenic recipes using a crock pot. There are plenty of healthy and delicious recipes and the instructions are easy to follow even for beginners like me. Great stuff.

I found some great recipes in this book. There are a few typos, but I looked past those. I only gave it a four, because there are no carb, fat, etc listings for the recipes.

The recipes are interesting, seemingly good and easy, nd we look forward to making them.

Great easy recipes with few ingredients!
