So you’ve decided to try keto. You’re cutting waaaay down on carbs and sugar. It’s the holiday season. Or it’s your birthday. Or you just want a cookie on any random night. How the heck do you live without dessert?!?!?! Great news: You don’t have to live without dessert thanks to the new cookbook The Ultimate Guide to Keto Baking.
You might be thinking, there’s no way the recipes are *really* going to taste delicious and still be keto-friendly. But just listen to some of these recipe names: chocolate mayonnaise layer cake, marble cheesecake, dairy-free chocolate chip skillet cookie, key lime pie bars…need I say more?
The cookbook: The Ultimate Guide to Keto Baking: Master All the Best Tricks for Low-Carb Baking Success (Victory Belt Publishing), out today.
The author: Carolyn Ketchum, who is behind the popular blog All Day I Dream About Food and is essentially your fairy godmother for low-carb, gluten-free, keto, paleo baking recipes. Ketchum admits that she has a crazy sweet tooth herself, so you know you’re in good hands. She’s also penned several cookbooks.
What you’ll get: I mean, Ketchum said herself on her blog that this is her “best keto cookbook yet” (!). The book’s got 120 new recipes that you haven’t tried before (even if you’ve been following her for a long time). You also don’t have to be a pro baker already. The book is a true guidebook that will walk you through keto ingredients and substitutes (think: keto-friendly flours, sweeteners, you name it) and exactly how to bake with ’em so that you get the most mouthwatering results. All you have to do is read and follow suit.
