Wish everything was not in grams. Will definitely try some of the recipes. Having a child with food allergies I love trying new recipes. ( ) This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I received this book from LibraryThing Early Reviewers and have yet to be able to actually cook anything from it. Since I am currently unable to be in the kitchen I am reviewing this book solely as a book.When I requested it I somehow missed that this was a specialized diet for helping those who suffer from epilepsy. The foreward is a short history on how the diet came to be, and is subsequently followed a short letter that makes it very clear that this cookbook and diet should not be used without medical supervision. The book begins with an overview that is very similar to other cookbooks in terms of giving you techniques, symbol guides, etc. But it also gives more medical advice that a physician should be consulted to make sure that your child has the correct amount of fats, etc. It discusses needed utensils, specifically stating that a digital gram scale is needed. The cookbook also has fill in the blank spots. One of these is on pg 23. where you have a chance to locate the 17 potential kitchen hazards, a conversion chart, and letters to potential caregivers, medical providers where you can fill out your child's specific needs, etc. The cookbook them has 16 pages of color foods whose recipes are contained within. The recipes are divided in to breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Each recipe has the recipe name, the calories, carbs, etc underneath. To the right there are the symbols that were explained in the overview. The recipes themselves are divided into the ingredients, then a paragraph with the directions, followed by notes at the bottom. When I am able to get into the kitchen here is an example of the recipes I'm most excited to try. Breakfast: Bacon and Egg Cream Cups and Pumpkin Microwave Pudding Lunch: Flax Crackers and Olive Tapenade and Rainbow Trout Roll-Ups Dinner: Meatball cup and Chicken Curry Pattie Snacks: Pumpkin Seed Muffins and No-Bake chocolate snacks. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. If you are on a ketogenic diet, or have a family member on a ketogenic diet, this book has all the fundmentals and recipes for a variety for family menus. A ketogenic diet is extremely high in fat and should only be followed by those under the care of medical doctors, such as a nutritionist, dietician, neurologist, or other medical doctor. This book isn't a low-carb diet book for those interested in low-carb recipes. It is specifically designed for ketogenic diets.Having said all that, it is a thoughtfully presented and researched cookbook. The authors, Dawn Marie Martenz and Laura Cramp, have created recipes that look and taste as delicious as possible for anyone on the diet. Martenz's story is inspirational. The choice of recipes ensures that if one family member is on the diet, then they can still eat the same menu item, just one portion specifically measured and cooked separately for one person. For example, there are recipes for pigs in a blanket, tacos, cupcakes, sushi, pizza, and crackers. So if the rest of the family is having a pizza for dinner, the person on the ketogenic diet may have a specially prepared pizza made for them, and the whole family can sit down together and eat the same menu item. Important if a child is on this diet because of siezures, so they can feel they are part of the dinner table. This book has color pictures and precise measurements for recipes ensuring a particular number of calories and ratio fat to carbs are met on specific diets that are already calculated. If you have been diagnosed with a medical condition, such as epilepsy, and a medical doctor has advised you to go on a ketogenic diet, this would be a great cookbook to have in the kitchen. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. The cookbook has a good mix of recipes for a varied (though strict diet). There are several vegetarian (lacto-ovo) dishes, which allowed me to help a friend who was trying to find good things to eat as part of a vegetarian LCHF diet.ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
The ketogenic diet, which is very high in fats and low in carbohydrates, was first developed almost 80 years ago. It makes the body burn fat for energy instead of glucose. When carefully monitored by a medical team familiar with its use, the diet helps two out of three children who are tried on it and may prevent seizures completely in one out of three. It is a strict diet, and takes a strong commitment from the whole family. The ketogenic diet is not a do-it-yourself diet. It is a serious form of treatment that, like other therapies for epilepsy, has some side effects that have to be watched for. No library descriptions found. |
