Monika L. Jensen’s debut cookbook inspires home cooks to embrace wellness without sacrificing flavor.
In a world where healthy eating often feels restrictive or overwhelming, The Balanced Plate: Healthy Recipes With Keto Alternatives offers a refreshing solution. Author and home chef Monika L. Jensen brings together 100 wholesome, satisfying recipes that blend traditional comfort food with keto-friendly options that are perfect for busy families, health-conscious eaters, and anyone looking for a more balanced approach to mealtimes.
Designed for both seasoned cooks and beginners, The Balanced Plate features easy-to-follow recipes, flexible ingredient swaps, and thoughtful guidance to help readers cook meals that are as nourishing as they are delicious. From cozy classics like Butter Chicken with Cauliflower Mash to global favorites like Thai Shrimp Curry, Jensen proves that nutritious meals don’t have to compromise on flavor or comfort.
“Healthy eating shouldn’t feel like a compromise,” says Jensen. “This book came from my personal journey of cooking for a family with different dietary needs. I wanted to create meals that everyone could enjoy together.”
Each recipe includes helpful keto-friendly alternatives, allowing families with varied tastes or dietary preferences to enjoy the same dish with slight modifications. This approach reflects Jensen’s core philosophy: food should bring people together, not divide them.
Beyond the recipes, The Balanced Plate is filled with practical tips on meal planning, ingredient substitutions, and time-saving kitchen hacks. Jensen’s warm and relatable tone feels like a trusted friend guiding you through every step of the cooking process.
“I believe balance isn’t about restriction, it’s about mindful choices that support a joyful, sustainable way of eating,” she adds.
