The book: The Keto Instant Pot Cookbook by Urvashi Pitre

The focus: Making low-carb cooking easy and quick with the Instant Pot for any keto enthusiast.

About the author

Urvashi Pitre is a long-time keto and low-carb enthusiast who lost over 80lbs and is a pressure cooking expert (she also uses her Air Fryer a lot). It is clear in her books, Indian Instant Pot Cookbook and The Keto Instant Pot Cookbook that she is passionate about crafting delicious pressure cooker meals that take on flavours from all around the world. On her blog, Two Sleevers, she couples her popular low-carb and keto recipes with her love of the Instant Pot. Urvashi and her family make their home in Dallas, Texas.

About the book

With the first Instant Pot brand-endorsed ketogenic recipe collection, there’s some pressure to put out something great. Urvashi did just that with this cookbook, and we’re glad that she was the one to curate the book. First, you’ll learn more about the author and her weight loss journey and how she discovered low-carb eating. These recipes are indicative of more than a simple collection of ketogenic recipes; they define a journey of learning how to cook for optimal health and weight loss.

With a “diet” like the keto approach, it can be easy to dial in heavily on the foods you must eliminate. However, this book was written with a specific goal in mind – and one that often keeps people sane and happy when taking on a challenging diet approach: focus on what you can have. Urvashi Pitre makes keto less limiting and far less difficult with absolutely delicious recipes.

Not only does this book include some Instant Pot cooking basics. It also includes many keto diet basics, making it the perfect choice if you’re just adapting to a ketogenic lifestyle. The beginning of the book outlines macros (macronutrients) and how to set the perfect macros for yourself. It also helps to break down common myths about the keto approach. Finally, it touches on the keto diet as a moderate-protein diet and helps you to better understand the amount of protein found in standard servings of protein-rich foods.

What we love about this cookbook

This cookbook is easy to love as someone who loves to utilise their Instant Pot for healthy recipes, and especially for the keto pressure cooking enthusiast. It’s a comprehensive collection of gorgeous meals you’ll never tire of, divided into sections making it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for. From beautiful veggie side dishes like cauliflower “mac” and cheese to sweet treats like lemon ricotta cheesecake, you’ll always find a way to include new and exciting low-carb versions of your favourite comfort foods in your diet.

Cooking with a limited list of ingredients can be challenging, but this book makes it feel easy. If you work through these recipes, you’re bound to develop a knack for cooking tender, delicious, juicy meat-centric dishes every time with the creative use of veggies, spices, and other unique flavour boosters.
