THE PROTEIN ADVANTAGE COOKBOOK: High-Protein, Low-Carb Recipes That Burn Fat, Build Muscle, and Restore Metabolism
CAROLYN KETCHUM
Fair Winds Press (non-affiliate Bookshop.org link)
$27.99 all editions, available now
Rating: 5* of five
The Publisher Says: In The Protein Advantage Cookbook, best-selling author Carolyn Ketchum sets you up for success with the new, higher-protein approach to low-carb eating with science-back advice and 100 delicious recipes.
The Protein Advantage Cookbook is the new template for low-carb eating, filled with the latest science and 100 recipes to help you meet your weight loss, body composition, and health goals.
Authored by best-selling cookbook author, Carolyn Ketchum, The Protein Advantage Cookbook includes step-by-step recipes with full-color photos, the latest research on high-protein, low-carbohydrate eating, and tips and tricks for building your high-protein, low-carbohydrate pantry.
For years, we’ve followed the traditional ketogenic diet formula: high fat, moderate protein, and very low carbs. And it worked—individuals saw the benefits of shifting from being sugar burners to fat burners. However, new science is showing that a low carbohydrate diet with higher protein ratios burns more stored fat and preserves and builds more lean muscle tissue. Recent research also suggests that a large percentage of adults are not consuming enough protein to maintain healthy bodies into middle age and beyond. And numerous experts agree that the RDA or protein for adults over age 50 is too low. High protein, low-carb diets are no longer the purview of body builders and athletes. It is a vital requirement for our health and longevity.
The Protein Advantage Cookbook provides a delicious path to health with recipes like:

My Review: High-protein eating is what turned on my latent gout decades ago. There are squads and fleets of people who need to lose weight for a variety of reasons, whose health will be improved by eating a lot more protein than carbohydrates.
The recipes in this book are simple, easy to follow, and I'll assume very well designed to improve protein deficient dieters' health.
It's obvious the book was designed with tablet-users in mind. It's a very easy to scan and understand design. It's a very well thought out guide to making your transition into a protein-heavy diet.

SMART YOGURT: New Ways to Make Yogurt that Minimize Prep, Optimize Output, Improve Taste and Texture, Add Natural Flavors, Reduce Intolerance, and Boost Probiotics
MARK SHEPARD
Shepard Publications (non-affiliate Bookshop.org link)
$20.00 paperback, available now
Rating: 5* of five
The Publisher Says: Continuing from his ground-breaking Smart Sourdough, Mark Shepard presents innovative approaches to what may be the world's most popular fermented food.
Yogurt is the quickest and simplest of all the fermented foods you can make at home—or it SHOULD be. More recent methods tend to complicate the process or make it less efficient. Smart Yogurt strips away unnecessary steps and identifies the most practical equipment, so your prep takes no more than a few minutes.
But maybe you have special needs or goals for your yogurt. For those who want to go beyond basics, "Smart Yogurt" presents a wealth of possibilities:
I RECEIVED A DRC FROM THE PUBLISHER VIA EDELWEISS+. THANK YOU.
My Review: I love this kind of book...simplifying the making of a food that can be quite costly, enabling you to take control of a process traditionally performed at home. It's such a great idea.
All of these are tech discussed in relation to the making of yogurt in the book. The Instant Pot was the most familiar to me, and I'd guess to you as well.
The end products are very familiar, aren't they? Making them yourself is something we can all do pretty easily with this kind of guidance from this author's simple instructions.
