The Wholesome Yum Easy Keto Cookbook: 100 Simple Low Carb Recipes with 10 Ingredients or Less

Maya Krampf. Harmony, $26.99 (256p) ISBN 978-1-984826-62-6

Krampf, creator of the WholesomeYum blog, debuts with a collection of 100 approachable, keto-friendly dishes. Recipes for expected fare—such as chili, zucchini, and squash pastas; cauliflower fried rice; and shakshuka—are all here, and Krampf helpfully focuses on practicality, offering dishes that are simple to prepare and ingredients that are easily sourced. Even family members who don’t follow the keto plan will enjoy crunchy chicken tenders rolled in crushed pork rinds; Thai beef lettuce wraps; five ingredient broccoli-cheese soup; decadent bacon-wrapped onion rings; and a lush cheesecake. Krampf’s Fat Head Dough recipe is a key component throughout—a versatile substitute for pizza or bread dough made of mozzarella, cream cheese, eggs and a low-carb flour, the dough can be used for bagels, bread sticks, pizza crust, gnocchi, and even spanakopita. Krampf provides nutritional information for each recipe, as well as tips on making the right dietary choices and managing cravings. This is a fine entry point for those curious about keto, as well as for readers interested in incorporating healthier dishes into their diet. (Oct.)
