MANGO Keto Meal Prep by FlavCity
A**.
Five stars for content; one star for Kindle formatting
Let me start by saying, I love Bobby and Desi. They have some of the consistently best recipes out there. I'm not keto, but I have to eat gluten free, so I follow a lot of keto stuff. The book does not disappoint as far as content. If someone buys the hardcover, I don't think they would have a single complaint. Bobby is fantastic as far as explaining processes and I just couldn't be a bigger fan. I haven't tried any of the recipes yet (it was published on a Tuesday and my meal prep days are on the weekends) but just reading them, I can tell that he put a lot of thought into the ease of instruction in this book.HOWEVER, the Kindle version... yowsa. This came out badly. The indexes basically just look like they would in a normal hardcover, with no availability to link to recipes through the tables of contents. When a recipe references another item that is discussed elsewhere, there is no link and no way to flip to a page. In a hardcover, at least you could generally flip where you need to go. In a Kindle format, if there aren't links, you're basically stuck flipping through every single page. That's what this book does.I'm very encouraged by the fact that, as I'm leaving this review, the Kindle version is now unavailable to buy. I hope this means it is being heavily re-edited and an update is pending. Once that happens, I hope to be able to update this review to a full 5/5 stars.UPDATE: Final verdict is avoid the Kindle version but get the hardcover. The update resulted in some improvements but you still cannot flip directly to recipes from the index and, really, what's the point if you have to flip through Kindle pages in every chapter just to get to the recipes you want. That said, I'm still a huge fan of the actual content. The recipes are fabulous and I have loved everything I have made. There is a lot of great info here as well. They frequently list where you can find videos to supplement the recipes (which also sort of negates buying the book, but I like a recipe to work from so it is still worth it for me). As a result, I will wholeheartedly recommend the book - but only in hardcover. The Kindle version will make you want to scream.

FlavCity ROCKS!!! Real Food for Real People
This Book not only goods great aesthetically but the book feels great in my hand... There are beautiful pictures for every recipe. I love how the authors personalities shine through in the book. The introduction had me laughing out load. I love the guidelines, the macros, and information for each one.. n u can actually go to YouTube and watch them cook some of the recipes for reference. I know the recipe lists look long on some of them but when you read through you realize this is mostly things you already have... Super Excited to #keeponcooking #flavcity ROCKS !!!

Great for meal-prepers and low-carbers!
Amazing. I was expecting it to be great and it’s even better than I had imagined. Not only are the recipes amazing but you also get detailed macros, and storage (for both fridge and freezer) and reheating instructions for every recipe, which is awesome for meal prep. Would buy this again in a heartbeat.

Misleading description. Off-putting pictures
First off the book's title and description are misleading. I was hoping for a book with meal prep instructions and steps. This book gives you a few meal prep pointers in the beginning and then the recipes say if it would be good for meal prep or not with a little icon in the corner.The pictures are of the couple feeding each other and staring at each other, really not important for a cookbook. Show me pictures of your food, I don't need to see you and your wife's PDA.

Recipes that REALLY taste GOOD!
There are over 125 recipes and each of them look so good. Flavcity has many recipe demos on Youtube as well as grocery hauls which help explain the best places to find certain ingredients. Bobby explains WHY he prefers certin ingredients or brands and how to substitueas needed )ex swap out the protein, eliminate the nut or the cheese and so onThe book just came out but so far I have started at the front and will work my way through the book. Hope Amazon lets me add another review later when I have done more, taken photos, made a video.So far the shakshuka is great and so are the spinach & feta muffins. DELICIOUS! I just got the "everything bagel" seasoning and am going to try their bagel recipe. It makes it seem like I could really make them - and a healthy version at that. Never thought I could easily make my own bagels.Really, check out this book and also his flavcity channel on youtube. You will be glad you did. Bobby & Dessi have really tasty, healthy approachable recipes and these grow out of how they actually cook and eat at home. They sincerely seem to want to help us be healthier and more environmentally responsible. in our food choices. Their personality really comes through on each and every page.There is a photo for every recipe, and I love that becuse it really helps me as a home cook!. Each recipe is also "coded" if it i dairy free, paleo, whole30, etc. i need to pay attention to be conscious of staying more '"anti-inflammatory" in my dietary choices - and these recipes are perfect for helping me achieve that. I have been following Bobby & Dessi since 2012 on Youtube for healthy, meal prep type of ideas and am delighted they now have this cookbook out.Bravo!
