Easy recipes, common ingredients, delicious!
I bought this book to help my husband who has inflammation issues. I myself have a gluten allergy and have been gluten free for many years. This is the first cookbook that Iâve purchased that I really LOVE. As of this writing, Iâve made 18 of theses recipes so far that are delicious. And some that Iâve already repeated. I love the fact that meat recipes are included. Itâs not just for vegetarians or vegans. Most of the meat recipes are for fish and chicken, with a few for pork tenderloin, 1 ground beef and 1 steak. Also, almost every recipe is gluten free. And those that are not, have a tip to make them gluten free. For instance, swapping out regular pasta for gluten free, or gluten free toast for whole wheat. Another great feature is that all of these recipes are easy, and except for spices, have only 5 easy to find ingredients. No fancy expensive ingredients to buy. I like that the book gives you a 2week meal plan with a shopping list and an optional weekly prep guide. Itâs very well laid out and easy to follow. However, because there are a few recipes with ingredients that I donât like (beets for instance), I decided not to follow the weekly meal plans at first. Instead I picked out a few recipes I wanted to try, and kept a list of the ones that we really liked as we tried them. For the recipes we didnât like, which were only a few, we substituted a recipe we did like. This allowed us to make our own meal plan. The beginning of this book explains inflammation and gives you a list of foods to enjoy, foods to consider with care, and foods to avoid. This book focuses on healthy fats, gluten free grains, veggies, low sugar fruits, seeds, legumes and anti-inflamatory spices like turmeric, ginger, rosemary and more.
So, has it helped my husband with his inflammation issues? It sure has. He has bad shoulder issues and following this diet has given him a greater range of motion in the shoulder and a lot less pain throughout the day. For me, Iâve discovered that having less dairy (can anyone say cheese please!) has helped me feel less bloated and Iâve lost a little weight.
Here are my top pros & cons.
Pros:
Gluten free
Easy recipes that donât involve a lot of hard to find ingredients and are quick to make
The book is well laid out
High hit-rate of great tasting recipes
Includes both a recipe index and a full index
Priced right
Cons:
Wish it came in a spiral bound version (but mine has held up very well so far)
There are some pictures but could have included more
A few of the breakfast recipes were bland, so stick to the ones you try that you like

Starting my anti-inflammatory journey
This book is great for beginners. Has a very informative section in the beginning and then a 2 week menu plan.
Each week has a menu, shopping list and all the recipes.
The recipes are very easy to follow and sound delicious.
After the 2 weeks there are many other recipes to start mixing things up and preparing your own menu. Iâm very happy with this book.

Great recipes and advice, I just wish it had pictures!
Iâve really enjoyed this cookbookâitâs both informative and inspiring. It starts with a clear explanation of inflammation, how it can be beneficial or harmful, and its links to various health conditions. I appreciated the practical advice on how anti-inflammatory foods can support healing and long-term health.
The 2 week meal plan, complete with grocery lists and meal prep tips ð, is honestly why I bought the book. I havenât fully dived in to it yet due to the holiday chaos but so far Iâve tried a few random recipes, and theyâve all been fantastic!
My only complaint is the lack of pictures. As a visual learner, I like to see what the food should look like (before I mess it up), but none of the recipes include photos. If I could, I would give it 4.5 stars only for the lack of photos!
Overall, itâs a wonderful guide for anyone looking to eat healthier and reduce inflammation. Iâm excited to try more recipes when life slows down!

A little different but IMO, better than a Fodmap diet.
I almost returned this book because our doctor recommended a Fodmap diet to help control my wife’s IBS, and this is an Anti-inflammatory one. After doing some research on both A-I and Fodmap diets, I think the A-I one and this book in particular is more practical for us. This is a wonderful book and a great introduction to this type of eating. It has very helpful lists on the types of foods, etc., that are recommended as well as the ones to avoid. It also has useful tips like which fruits and veggies you should always buy organic and why. I try to prepare fairly healthy meals but some of this stuff I just didn’t know. This book will be a staple for us and could not be less intimidating. It is written in plain, understandable and relatable language and offers some very appetizing recipes that I would like even if I wasn’t trying this diet.
Thanks very much for a great resource to help us get started.

Loosley Anti-inflammatory
I donât claim to be an expert in nutrition or for that matter anti-inflammatory cooking. However, there is ample information from doctors, nutritionists and researchers who agree about foods that are considered to be Inflammatory and those foods that are considered anti-inflammatory. I read through the book and found that many of the recipes contained ingredients that are considered inflammatory such as sunflower oil, coconut oil and saturated fats. For example, we made the Roast Chicken with White Beans. Sounds healthful, right? Well, after finishing the tasty meal, we put the leftovers in the fridge. The next day, I opened the container and what it consisted of was solidified hydrogenated fat. It was disgusting, so I through it out. The fat, of course, was from the whole chicken that baked in the pot with the healthful ingredients. Hydrogenated fat is an inflammatory not to mention a major source of cholesterol. Thatâs just one example. To sum up my review, there are some delicious meals in the book, and Iâm sure some are very nutritious with anti-inflammatory properties,
but Iâd recommend that before blindly committing to a meal with the assumption that it must be healthful just because itâs in the book, that one scrutinize the ingredients for its anti-inflammatory properties and general healthfulness.

Great for beginner cooks
Gives you a straight to the point summary of the anti-inflammatory diet. It gives several lists (which I find very helpful) of foods to avoid, foods to eat with caution, beneficial foods, weekly shopping lists, and plenty of recipes.

Purchased for my husband who on investigating wouldnât eat any of the recipes suggested. However I like the recipes but donât require another cookery book.

Very well written, informative. Love the recipes and helped me a lot to change our diet. I like that it’s not full of pictures, so more pages are available for recipes and the first section is like a course teaching the basics of this diet.

Cet article m’a été facturé alors que je ne l’ai pas commandé. Je n’ai d’ailleurs pas de Kindle. C’est désolant.
