Good Housekeeping engenders trust for me before I ever open a cover of one of their cookbooks. I trust their long-standing nutrition labs, test kitchens and history of providing factual information not only in the kitchen, but in a wide array of household, gardening, and health/life areas. They stay current with the times and often inspire me, as they have for my whole life. Their keto diet, whether I ever go on such or not, is a useful source of basic information on the concept of ketosis and has some great recipes I'll try out for a partner who has done the keto diet for a couple of years and lost a huge amount of weight using such.
As a vegetarian, only a portion of these recipes will appeal to me or be adaptable, but the ones that are feel original or at least modern and the types of diverse foods that appeal to me (lime cheesecake bomb bites; feta/mint mini meatloafs that I could adapt with veg. protein; tapas salad and spicy veggie rolls). There's clear directions, a scattering of pictures to inspire on matte paper and tips scattered throughout the book including a helpful chart on the different roasting times for various vegetables. I borrowed this copy from the library, but would consider buying this one even with the heavy meat/poultry/fish emphasis.

As far as keto cookbooks go, this one is a disappointment. Not only do they completely omit a dessert section and a bread section, but the recipes are just ho-hum. After reviewing the entire book, there wasn't one recipe that made me think "I have to try that!" which is disappointing. Good Housekeeping cookbooks are usually the bomb - but this one felt like they published it just because keto is a hot trend and they have to keep up. It has pretty pictures and the recipes are simple, but about half take uncommon ingredients. Coming from a veteran low-carber, there are much better keto cookbooks out there. Skip this one.

I had caught glimpses of her remarkable beauty here and there along the trail; I mean, who could not? Her perfectly formed and youthful body often glided pass me because I walk way too slow. As she bounded past me, her bleach-blonde locks, which draped down to her shapely shoulders, seemed to capture the sun and drag it along behind her.
I think I appreciated her beauty much like I would appreciate an inspiring piece of art, gazing at her until she invariably disappeared around the next curve or over the next hill. However, it was not until later that I became totally mesmerized by her beauty. It was at one of my first morning rest stops, when she suddenly appeared out of nowhere, gently touched my forearm, and invited me to join her for breakfast.
We chatted incessantly but I never seemed to glean much information from her. Her hand seemed magnetically drawn to my forearm and before I knew it she had my contact information in her phone. We lingered way too long over breakfast during which time I should have gotten to know her better, but somehow didn’t.
The only thing I can remember about her now is her enduring beauty, her name Kate, and that she hailed from the U.K., or at least that was what she said. When I think of her now, it always brings to mind the lyrics from Al Stewart’s hit “Year of the Cat”:
On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolor in the rain
Of course Kate never wore a silk dress and I really can’t imagine her in one. She most often wore hiking tights that adhered to her body like glue, accentuating her perfect figure; and on warm days, in the evenings, when the hike was done for the day, she would sometimes appear in tattered jean shorts, apparently just for the fun of disrupting the thoughts of every warm blooded man anywhere in the vicinity.
After that first breakfast, the first of several meals we would share together, we returned to the trail and she quickly regained her gazelle-like stride and quickly left me in the dust. Thinking back, I can’t really understand how I ever managed to keep catching up with her.
The Camino de Santiago is a 500-mile pilgrimage route that runs from St. Jean, France to Santiago, Spain. I first learned about it at my 40th high school reunion when one of my old classmates told me about her forthcoming hike there. When I subsequently followed my classmate’s travels on Facebook, I invariably knew it was something I had to do.
But my wife likes cycling more than walking and so I found myself alone on this adventure. But one is never alone for long on the Camino, for there is a parade of walkers; and not a day passes that some temporary companion doesn’t match stride with you, for at least a few hours, chat a bit, and then move on. But the magnificent Kate appeared again and again, like a fortuitous apparition, energizing me with her liveliness and with the sunlight that she seemed to always be towing along behind her. And when she inevitably disappeared, she left me floating forward along the path, propelled by the dissipating glow of her wonderful energy.
So I’m sure by now you’re beginning to wonder whatever this all has to do with the Keto diet, which I now call the Kato diet. As you may have guessed, it was from Kate that I learned about the Keto diet. The subject came up between us when Kate’s fork suddenly darted across the table, in the same manner that a leopard frog captures a cricket with its super-sticky tongue, and snatched up the abandoned bacon fat or salmon skin from my plate; or whenever Kate would begin drinking olive oil at lunch. I mean, one can’t help but become flabbergasted over how someone can maintain such a perfect body while consuming so much fat. When Kate explained to me that the diet also involved intermittent fasting, I began to understand why she was always so ravenous; and I learned to tolerate things suddenly disappearing from my plate when we dined together.
So now, back here in the U.S., well after that 36-day Camino walk has ended, and Kate has disappeared into the U.K., this time probably forever, I find this Keto Diet book staring out at me from the shelves in Barnes & Noble; and on page 29, I find the recipe for crustless quiche Lorraine. To make this quiche well I had to purchase a Le Creuset skillet so I could properly transfer it from stovetop to oven, but now it produces an almost foolproof perfect quiche every time.
And this quiche never gets boring to eat because I nearly always throw something new into it, like grated carrots, chopped Jalapeno, spinach or whatever I have. It always comes out with a remarkable yellow glow that reminds me of that mysterious person whose youthful energy helped this old man walk 500 miles, something he never thought he’d be able to do.
Sooner or later, I suppose, I may get to some of the other 99 recipes in this Keto Diet book.

Meh. There is nothing here good enough to warrant the time it will take you to flip through this book.

January 8, 2020Just grabbed this with a handful of other keto books from the library. I'm not following the diet, I was just looking for low carb recipes. Found a few. I'm not a coconut fan, so I do a little tweeking to most of the recipes. I'm not going to rate it since I don't follow the diet.
