This cookbook was filled with lovely pictures and easy to follow instructions. I was actually interested in several of the recipes. That being said, I didn't find many of these to be what I consider "comfort foods." This would be a good bok for someone who is interested in starting the Autoimmune Protocol, not just a casual cook.

Since dealing with autoimmune disease I’ve been looking at ways to help improve my condition. the AIP diet was suggested and I’ve been looking into it. When I saw this cookbook, I figured it would be a good place to look for some ideas on recipes where I have traditionally used non AIP foods. The book does not disappoint.

With recipes for some of my favorite foods, like Mac and cheese, biscuits and sausage grave, and Tom Kha Gai, I was quickly engrossed in exploring them. There are a few ingredients that are new to me, like tigernut flour and tomato free tomato sauce. For me, embracing a new way of eating is always solidified with better understanding a new way of cooking and these recipes truly help. I look forward to trying many of them as I embrace an AIP lifestyle and look to address my conditions.

Easy to follow recipes from an author who has walked the walk and is talking the talk. I will be recommending this book to friends who are also looking into an AIP diet for their own AI conditions. Looking forward to making the changes with the help of this book.

The author mentions how she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease at 17 and that the cause of the disease is an under- active thyroid. She slept for 18 hours a day, had fainting spells, food intolerances and weight changes. Her doctor told her how the gut affects the body’s health. It took years for her to change her eating habits and invent recipes that she could eat - her health improved and she became a nutritional therapy provider.

This is a beautiful cookbook with many great photos. The information at the beginning is very helpful for anyone new to the AIP. eating this way seems to be time consuming and expensive! I wish I had a live-in chef so I could eat this way. I don’t know if it has to be this time-consuming and expensive, though. In addition to this cookbook, I would also seek out one that helped one follow the AIP at less expense and with simpler recipes.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book has good insight into AutoImmune disease, but is super, super strict on what they recommend eating for Autoimmune recovery. The recipes were decent, but I still had to modify as I have other restrictions and food sensitivities. Recipes are pretty good, but I won't use a lot of them. I would probably check this book out at the library, versus purchasing it to make sure it was suitable for your family.

It reads very well. The author explains the start of her journey and what the AIP diet entails. A lot of yummy recipes which I haven't seen in other cookbooks yet. The ingredients are not hard to find if you already follow an AIP diet. Would suggest a spellcheck here and there.
