I have suffered from an autoimmune disease that effects my stomach for many years and there's not much I can eat. I am excited to try these recipes, they look delicious! I also love that the author categorized the recipes.

This is amazing, the shopping lists alone really make it worth reccomending, and the recipies sound very palatable.

Easy to follow and understand, with lovely pictures and flavorful dishes. It makes the AIP diet seem less restrictive and less bland.

I thought that I was going to get a copy sent to my Kindle, but I did not, so I will be unable to review this book.

This is a fab preparatory book for those who have an autoimmune disease or have friends/family that suffer from one. Having suffered from terrible stomach issues for 5-10 years and having been told that they the tests I have had strongly suggest I have Crohn's disease I figured I should try and do something dietary to hopefully increase the chances of remission and lessen my long-term suffering. Sophie Van Tiggelen is a popular Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) blogger and has compiled these easy-to-follow instructions into an easy and accessible recipe and meal planner book. The recipes look tasty and simple to prepare and the full-colour photographs give you an idea of what you should be aiming for. It certainly helps you to plan ahead which not is not only more economical it takes the stress out of mealtimes too.

This is an excellent resource for those of us with an autoimmune disorder but I do not agree with all the points being made. Firstly, the book almost blames sufferers themselves for having an autoimmune disease - by stating that lifestyle and diet are the causes. I know that lifestyle/diet can make a difference but they certainly aren't the cause. Secondly, there are some quite dramatic assertions made that by changing to the AIP diet the symptoms will get better. I feel that unless this has been scientifically proven then they have no right to make these bold claims. Evidence is what is needed and until then no such statements should be made. I am going to try out these recipes and hope to gain some benefit from the change but I do think that the approach should've been vastly different. Blaming those who suffer from an AI disorder is no good for anyone. Many thanks to Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds Press for an ARC.

This cookbook offers a good variety of recipes for what can be a really restrictive elimination diet. I appreciated all the different categories she included - FODMAP, low-carb, even holiday dishes!

I really do enjoy a cook book, found some tasty recipes in this one so I'm happy! Some take a little too much prep/work for my lifestyle.
