Cookbook Review: The Deliciously Keto Cookbook by Molly Pearl; Kelly Roehl

I began to look into this way of life a few months ago. When I came across this book, I thought I would look at it and see if I truly can make this my lifestyle. Ketogenic is a high-fat, moderate-protein, low-carb diet. It can address many medical issues, while it helps a person lose or maintain a healthy weight. This type of diet helps the body focus on dietary fat, and ketones as the source of energy. It is more efficient for the body to burn fat this way.

In this book I found many recipes for each part of the day: breakfast, appetizers, snacks, main meal, desserts and sides. There are also included tips for cooking, and eating out.

As thrilled as I was with this book, I did find some of the recipes to contain more carbs than I prefer. But all together I did find many recipes that I feel will become a part of my regular routine.

I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Book Review: The Science of Cooking by Dr. Stuart Farrimond

Dr. Farrimond is a specialist in the area of food science. He also is known for television, radio and public appearances. In this book Dr. Farrimond presents a book on the science of food that is easy to understand. There are more than 150 questions on the subject which he addresses along with tips and diagrams. Included are a vast area of food, taste, essentials and so much more. The book is interesting and the photography is amazing.

I love most aspects of science, but in the last few years I have found the science of food fascinating. Dr. Farrimond was able to expand my education in a way that I was able to comprehend easily. I see this book will become a part of my resource shelf to pull out to look at again and again.

Book Review: Taste

This book mixes food and romance to create a lovely creation.
Taste tells the story of Kara Malendar, a student at Le Cordon Bleu. Suddenly she is called home where she becomes a food critic.

Logan Rye is a chef at his own restaurant. One that is reviewed. This is the story of their struggles to find each other and their romance.

The author places such a nice spin on this book. She creates characters who are easy to like and her descriptions throughout the book places the reader in her book. 

I was given this book by NetGalley and IBPA in exchange for my honest review.
