Is there a cookbook with these recipes in it? So many I want to try and I prefer a cookbook rather than printing everything and the pictures are inspiring.

Hi Linda,

My apologies, I don't have a cookbook for the recipe roundup. I believe Keto cookbooks designed for Instant Pot only do exist and are available for purchase on Amazon. Here's one I just found: https://amzn.to/35dsH4b Let me know if you have any other questions! xoxo

I did not have success with my insta post...I sold it. Can these recipes be made in a Crock-Pot or the oven? Because they look AMAZING!

Hi Tina!

Completely understandable! It's not for everyone for sure. Many of the recipes do include options for other cooking methods, like slow cooker and/or stove top! :D Happy cooking! xoxo
