I think the biggest complaint I hear among those who are new to keto, is that they weren’t particularly skilled in the kitchen before they started keto, and didn’t join with the goal of becoming an Iron Chef by the time they hit their goal weight.
It’s for that reason that I think The Big 15 Ketogenic Diet Cookbook by Megan Flynn Peterson is a cookbook that a lot of my keto friends will enjoy immensely. Why? Because the 15 stands for 15 fundamental ingredients! It includes 150 recipes, which include 300 low carb and high fat variations.
That doesn’t mean there are only 15 ingredients in the whole cookbook, but it does mean that if you love eggs, bacon, avocado, dairy, nuts, chicken, beef, pork, fish, shellfish, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, and zucchini, then you’ll be pleased with each chapter in this cookbook. And the recipes are a solid mix of simple and seasoned.
In the first chapter of the cookbook, Peterson lays out “The Easiest Low-Carb Diet There Is” which includes ideas like 2 bacon slices and scrambled eggs for breakfast, and a cobb salad for lunch. I thought was a great add-in for those in this target audience who are looking for the simplest keto meals out there.
What I also love about this cookbook is that the introduction is light, and the recipes are heavy. There are lots of keto cookbooks out there, and not everyone needs to reinvent the wheel on the “how and why.” Snag this cookbook when you’re good and ready to start keto, or just want to add some easy recipes to your archive that are only a short, cheap grocery trip away.
Below is a recipe from The Big 15 Ketogenic Diet Cookbook, a very simple and tasty dish!
[yumprint-recipe id=’87’]You’ll find a lot of simple keto classics and comfort foods in this cookbook, so if you’re new to keto you’ll enjoy her twists on Egg Salad (Page 11), Egg “McMuffins” that use breakfast patties as the “muffin (Page 13)”, BLT wraps (page 30), Egg Roll in a Bowl (page 113), and Mashed Cauliflower (page 171).
For the more seasoned keto chefs, you’ll also be able to enjoy less familiar treats like Almond Flour Tortillas (page 20), Baked Breakfast Avocados (page 36), her family recipes for Marinated Cheese (page 52) , Uncle Marty’s Chicken (page 90) and Zia’s Spinach Torta (page 196), Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole (page 84), Keto Asian Dumplings (page 152), and Savory Broccoli Cheddar Waffles (page 182).
All recipes include complete nutrition facts and macros, and most recipes are between 0 – 10 net carbs per serving with a few exceptions.
I think The Big 15 Ketogenic Diet Cookbook would be an excellent addition to anyone’s keto cookbook collection!

150 is a decent number of recipes for a cookbook. That aspect alone appeals to me. Many cookbooks have fewer recipes and it’s easy to find that half of them aren’t interesting.
At least with 150 to choose from (plus variations), readers are bound to find at least some that are appealing.
