Book Review: The Primal Low-Carb Kitchen by Kyndra Holley

I think that most of you know the very talented Kyndra Holley who is the mastermind behind the well-known low carb & primal blog, Peace, Love and Low-Carb and the very popular Facebook page.

Today I'm sharing a recipe from her latest cookbook, The Primal Low-Carb Kitchen. At first I couldn't decide which recipe to pick because they all look amazing. I was thinking about the Loaded Cauliflower Casserole that is topped with bacon pieces - who doesn't love bacon?! - or the Lemon Blueberry Muffins that use unsweetened applesauce to add sweetness. I thought this was a great idea and even with the applesauce, they are still only 5 grams of net carbs per muffin.

Finally, I chose the first recipe that caught my eye because it's on the book cover. The Cheddar Dill Biscuits were a hit - In fact, I had to make another batch the day after!

You can buy The Primal Low-Carb Kitchen cookbook by Kyndra Holley on Amazon.

Book Review: The Primal Low-Carb Kitchen by Kyndra Holley

What You'll Find in The Book:

  • Over 85 delicious low-carb/ primal recipes
  • Low-carb tips and healthy meal swaps
  • Great tips on how to follow a low-carb diet on a budget
  • Kyndra's kitchen must-haves (essential kitchen tools and appliances)
  • Simple seasoning blends

What I Like About The Book

First thing I noticed when I first opened Kyndra's cookbook was the beautiful photography. Almost all recipes are accompanied by deliciously looking pictures that will also make it easy for you to follow any of her recipes.

The vast majority of recipes are savoury. As you'd expect, recipes include some of the all-time favourites and comfort foods. There are so many great recipes in this book! Here are my favourites which I plan to cook over the next few weeks: Caramelised Onion and Prosciutto "Mac" & Cheese, Beef Stroganoff Meatballs, Eggplant Lasagna, Bacon Cheeseburger Soup, Three-Meat No-Bean Chili Pancetta Parmesan Risotto, Zesty Coleslaw and Lemon Chia Pancakes. You'll even find a section that includes 15 Dressing and Sauces recipes!

I found Kyndra's recipes very easy to follow with few recipe steps and commonly found ingredients. All recipes include nutrition facts which are essential for everyone who wants to track their macronutrients, especially carbs. Ingredients are specified in both measures and amounts: cups, grams and ounces, millilitres and fluid ounces. I find this really helpful as using only measures like cups or tablespoons may lead to mistakes.

Who Is This Book For

This book is great for any health conscious person. It doesn't matter whether you follow a primal, paleo or ketogenic diet. Everyone will find their favourite recipes! Please, keep in mind that several recipes include dairy and are not paleo-friendly. Although some recipes may be slightly higher in carbs and may not be suitable for a very low-carb diet, the vast majority of recipes are keto-friendly. If you follow a vegetarian keto diet, please, keep in mind that most recipes in this book include meat.

Over 85 Delicious Low-carb Recipes

Kyndra's book includes over 85 easy to follow low-carb/ primal recipes that are grouped by categories (starters, main dishes, soups and salads, sides and snacks, breakfast, and dressings & sauces). So how about we make the Cheddar Dill Biscuits! :-)

    Hello Martina, hoping your power is back on! I made an odd catch this morning — I’ve been making this since it was a new blog post 6 ½ years ago! I was deciding between this and the cheddar chive biscuits, and I nearly said, “oh, I don’t feel like making bacon for this recipe,” but then I couldn’t remember having bacon in them before. There is no bacon in the recipe, so I suppose it’s just a title change/alteration. Still one of my ❤️ recipes!

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Sorry John, I just literally found this comment in a filter. My spam filter has been acting funny recently. I don't think it had bacon but you might be right in a way as I might have shared some tips with bacon! There is a muffin recipe that has bacon pieces in it, I wonder if it was that one? 😊

    Hi Martina,
    For the Cheddar Dill Biscuits, you state 1/4 serving 8 fl oz of Water, still.
    When opening the blog link in states 2 fl oz 😉
    My mixture was too wet and couldn’t understand why x
    Karl

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      I'm sorry Karl, I can see why this is confusing - it's what you see in the app. You need 1/4 cup (serving) of "8-fl oz serving" which is 1 cup. This is the wording the food database (in this case the USDA) so I'll see if we can capture these cases and automatically improve the wording.

  3. Jessica

    How long are these guys for if stored in fridge ? Freezer?

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Hi Jessica, thanks for noticing, I added storage info in the last step.

    Hello. I'm just now learning about Lupin flour and wondering if I could add some to this recipe to make these flakey? I wonder what ratios of almond/lupin flour I would use? Have you baked with lupin flour? Are you familiar with the ratios?

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Hi Julia, I'm sure that would work but I don't know how much to use. We have a few recipes with lupin flour but they are not used in the same way. Lupin flour is more absorbent than almond flour but these are quite moist so I think you could easily substitute it 1:1. Let me know if you try it!

    What is the best way to store and reheat these?

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      I would use a microwave or regular oven. I actually ate mine cold but you could reheat them.

  6. Hala

    Can almond flour be substituted with coconut flour and if yes what is the measurements.

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      I think you can. The general rule is that you only use a third of coconut flour compared to almond flour. So I'd use only 1/2 cup (60 g/ 2.1 oz). I hope this helps!

  7. Sarah Lambert

    Hello, can you tell me how many calories per serving? I couldn't find that info.

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Hi Sarah, it's 238 kcal per serving (see the nutrition table in the post).

  8. Franciska

    I see that the fat content is 21.8 is that per biscuit or for the entire recipe?

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Hi Francisca, that is per biscuit (21.8 g). Hope this helps!

  9. Dale

    In step 2 of the directions for the biscuits it says to add Italian seasoning, but the list of ingredients does not indicate any Italian Seasoning. Did an ingredient get missed or if is it suppose to have Italian Seasoning in it? If so, how much? Thanks! Looks delicious!

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Thank you Dale, that's my typo - I'll add it now 😊

  10. Cindy

    I made your biscuits tonight and they came out amazing! This is a keeper recipe. As soon as it's possible I will purchase your book. I didn't see a calorie count on the biscuits. Would you possibly share that count with me. I'm tracking everything I eat so I can feel better and heal from a slip and fall 17 months ago. Looking forward to some more of your recipes. Thanks for sharing.
    Cindy

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      It is indeed! My fiancé has been asking: "When are you going to make the nice cheese thing again?" 😊) There is a table with nutrition facts - one biscuit is 238 kcal.

  11. sophie

    Are there any paleo recipes? I can't eat dairy. Thanks!

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Hi Sophie, yes there are. Some recipes contain cheese and cream which can be substituted with coconut milk or it can just be omitted 😊

  12. Emily

    I love Kyndra's book and this recipe is amazing! I've made it many times since I got her book and even tried it with basil and parmesan 😊

    1. McDonna

      Yes, Sophie. There are quite a few that are dairy-free, and many that are easily adapted to being dairy-free.
