The author is a well known keto lifestyle recipe developer and writer of cookbooks for the keto lifestyle.
This book is certainly very well organized. The first 15% of the page content covers the introduction, definitions and concepts involved in meal prep, along with lists of very basic kitchen utensils and storage items. The author discusses some of the side effects of ketosis and benefits of getting through the initial adjustment period. There are also lists of staples with quantities to have on hand for maximum efficiency.
The following chapters contain the 8 weeks of meal plans: recipes along with ingredient measures, shopping lists, yields, prep time and other essentials. Many (but not all) of the recipes are illustrated. The photography which is included is very clear and well done. Ingredient measurements are supplied in American and standard (metric) measurements. The nutritional information: fat, carbs, protein content are listed for the recipes as well as serving sizes. Extra tips or recipe alternatives are listed in sidebars with the recipes. The recipes themselves are fairly straightforward and are made with easily sourced ingredients. Many are very simple, none of them are overly complex. Most of the recipes are photographed, the photos show the meals in their meal-prep containers. The photographs are small, but clear and easy to follow.
This is a beautifully presented very well organized book. I would definitely recommend it to any of my friends who are looking to make their food prep even more efficient and keto friendly. Once a week cooking can be made family friendly, but I'm not sure how easily these meals can be incorporated into a family style meal environment. This would work very well for singles or for one person (or whole family) following a keto-friendly diet.
Five stars.
