An excellent book for those learning about inflammatory foods and which foods to avoid beyond cutting out sugar. Not all of the foods mentioned are accessible to me where I live but there are enough tips here to get me started on an anti-inflammatory diet.
A few healthy recipes are provided at the end of the book.

This is a very useful guide. I have had issues finding foods that are anti-inflammatory that I can still eat. This guide it made it easy and accessible.

Really good book to learn about anti-inflammatory foods. Something that i knew nothing about but i am glad that i was able to read this book.

Lizzie Streit presents a fabulous book for anyone wishing to learn or understand more about incorporating anti-inflammatory food into their life. Presented with brightly photographed examples, more than 50 anti-inflammatory foods are presented with explanations on their benefits and examples of how they can be prepared into delicious meals.

Highly recommended for anyone wishing to incorporate a healthier diet..

Thank you Quatro and NetGalley for this ARC.

The book has a great concept. It contains clear explanations, cause and effect, and remedies. I will use much of the guidance provided.

Great reference guide for anti-inflammatory foods. Lists the benefits of each food, packed with colorful reference charts and delicious recipes as well as reminders about overall lifestyle tips for reducing inflammation.

Registered dietitian Lizzie Streit begins her book with an overview of chronic inflammation and the diet and lifestyle choices that affect it positively and negatively. The second and largest section of the book is a directory of 50 anti-inflammatory foods backed by scientific research. The third section includes eight recipes that incorporate these anti-inflammatory foods. The book concludes with an index. The entire book is filled with beautiful photographs of anti-inflammatory foods and beverages.

The introduction explains how foods and lifestyle choices affect inflammation, including a glossary, food chart, blueprint to anti-inflammatory eating, discussion of special diets, and frequently asked questions (FAQs). This information was easy to understand, although it doesn’t go into much depth. I didn’t learn anything new here, but it’s a fine introduction if you’re new to the subject.

The anti-inflammatory foods profiled include fruits and vegetables, grains and legumes, seafood, nuts and seeds, herbs and spices, drinks, sweets, and fermented foods. I thought a few choices were odd (wheatgrass?), but most were common. Each profile includes an overview of the anti-inflammatory effects and nutritional values of the food, tips on how to select and prepare the food, pros and cons in relation to special diets, and how to incorporate more of that food in your diet. I appreciate that the author includes cautions about who might be better off avoiding these foods.

The recipes are organized into breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks (two each). I tried several of the recipes and found them tasty and easy to prepare. The Lemon Chickpea Quinoa Salad is particularly refreshing and has become part of our regular meal rotation. Each recipe is designed to make four servings. They are clearly written with an explanation of the anti-inflammatory benefits, as well as helpful tips and suggested alternatives. There are beautiful photos of the finished product, but no process photos. The recipes do not include nutritional data if that is important to you.

I wish this book included more recipes, but I think it’s a good introduction to incorporating more anti-inflammatory foods in your diet, which is something most of us would benefit from.

I was provided an ARC through NetGalley that I volunteered to review.

Thank you NetGalley and Lizzie Streit for the ARC of The Complete Guide to Anti-Inflammatory Foods. I have heard a lot about inflammation and its toll on our bodies, so I was excited to get this book and find out more. The book explains why inflammation is bad for us and how to prevent it by eating a healthier diet. There are 50 anti-inflammatory foods listed and how to use and prepare them. I appreciate the recipes and beautiful pictures.

The Complete Guide to Anti-Inflammatory Foods is a balanced practice based look at physiological inflammation and the relation to diet by dietician Lizzie Streit. Due out 14th June 2022 from Quarto on their Chartwell Books imprint, it's 160 pages and will be available in hardcover format.

This is a very well organized and sensibly presented book, full of science based information. Glossary pages include layman accessible definitions which are easy to understand. Foods are arranged by category: vegetables, fruits, whole grains legumes & soy, fish & shellfish, nuts seeds & oils, hebs & spices, and drinks sweets & dairy products.

Each category is explained in clear basic terms and with charts and tables showing which foods are best for anti-inflammatory and calming properties. The author also includes a short overview over special diets (diabetes, gluten free, vegan and vegetarian, etc) and how to combine them with anti-inflammatory ingredients to maximize results.

Recipes are attractive and appetizing. Ingredients are in bullet lists, followed by step by step instructions. Ingredient measurements are given in imperial (American) measures - no metric equivalents, but most recipes can be easily converted. Alternative prep and ingredient choices are written in text bars at the end of the recipes. Nutritional info is not provided. The photography throughout is in color and very well done. Serving suggestions are appropriate and the food styling is polished and skillfully done.

Four stars. This would be a good choice for the home cook, public library, or similar.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

I've hit an age where I really want (and need) to start looking at what I put into my body and this gave me some really good advice and ideas on where to start.

Useful and easy to read, this book is a helpful guide to getting started on an anti-inflammatory diet. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to change the way they eat to include healing foods.

This book was archived before I could review and am a little confused because the release date hasn't come out yet. Sorry I couldn't review in time.

Very informative book with lots of photos and recipes. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to try anything out before it was deleted from the NG Shelf App. I wish this book would have been available on Kindle so that I could use it in the future.

I liked that this book focused mostly on the specific foods themselves, and the benefits and science behind each one, rather than complicated recipes with a mix of ingredients that may or may not fit a specific person's tastes or diet restrictions. Great information.

This book was perfect for me, this had helped with my endometriosis.Though it isn't a cure and asked a doctor before you change anything. It helped me figure out what my triggers were and what I needed to change. I will be getting a copy of this to keep in my kitchen and one for my father.

This was a brightly coloured book with some clear, colourful pictures which was lovely to look at.

I was expecting more recipies and the end felt a bit rushed which was a shame.

Thank you for the arc.

This book was very well laid out with nice pictures and good descriptions. I love visuals so all of the pictures really made this book more helpful. The recipes sound pretty good and I would love to try them.

A wonderful book all about the benefits of eating an anti inflammatory diet. Lots of background and very informative.

This book is a basic guide to anti-inflammatory foods with profiles on 50 of these foods. Some of these profiles are categories of food (leafy greens, cruciferous veggies, mushrooms, peppers, berries, citrus, legumes, etc.) but most are specific foods (sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, artichokes, fennel, salmon, etc.). Each profile devoted one page to the information about that food and another to a picture of the food. The profile included brief information about the food's anti-inflammatory effects, how to select it and prepare it, best ways to cook it for the most anti-inflammatory effect, a few suggestions on ways to add it to meals, and consideration for those with special diets or medical conditions. The book also talked about anti-inflammatory and inflammatory foods (so you also know what to avoid) and ended with eight recipes. The recipes were sized for 4 people and included ingredients, cooking steps, easy alternatives, and a picture of the finished product. This would be a good introductory book for someone who doesn't know about anti-inflammatory foods.

Lizzie Streit's The Complete Guide to Anti-Inflammatory Foods is a well presented reference book, with easy to understand directions. Incorporating foods to help reduce inflamation, and why we should do so, will be simple with this book as a guide.

Lizzie Streit also offers some tasty recipes, and explains how each ingredient will help our symptoms. I'd say, in today's health conscious world, this books is a must have for every kitchen.
