The Easy Anti-Inflammatory Cookbook offers an approachable introduction to anti-inflammatory eating, with over 100 simple, nutritious recipes designed to reduce inflammation. The recipes are varied and appealing, featuring easy-to-find ingredients that make healthy eating accessible. While the book offers valuable guidance on managing inflammation, some of the suggestions feel overly restrictive, potentially leaning towards orthorexia. Still, the meal ideas are practical and convenient for anyone seeking a straightforward way to incorporate anti-inflammatory foods. This book is best for those interested in trying anti-inflammatory eating without diving too deeply into rigid dietary guidelines.

Simple healthy recipes that I will definitely use in the future.
I have to admit some of them seemed forced, but others seem yummy and a great alternative.

This is a book full of recipes that ‘heal and support immune health’ from the author of the What Molly Made blog.

There is tons of information about chronic inflammation and lists of foods that can help to reduce it or contribute to it.

The recipes included are easily key coded to identify gluten-free, dairy-free, low carb, paleo, refined sugar-free, vegan and vegetarian, so this is an easy reference book when you are cooking for people with food intolerances as well as inflammation issues.

The chapters are divided in the traditional way: Breakfasts, Snacks, Pasta & Grains, Beef, Seafood, Meatless and Beverages, and I instantly spotted loads of recipes that myself (chronic illness) and my family (meat-loving husband and two children aged 7 and 10) would all love to try. So far we have tried the Butternut Squash Soup, Mint Chocolate (with Avocado) Smoothie and the Chocolate Banana Blender Muffins and they have all been easy to follow and tasted delicious.

My only minor niggle was that I would have found it handy to have the cooking times somewhere prominent (for example, with the serving size information), as this is something that is important to us when meal planning for the week, around everyone’s clubs and activities.

I can’t say that I have noticed a particular decrease in inflammation since beginning to follow the principles of this dietary method, but it is early days, and we all definitely feel better for eating a little bit healthier in general. So, I will definitely be buying myself a hard-copy of this one to keep on our kitchen shelf and can recommend it for anyone looking for some tasty, healthy recipes.

Unfortunately I was unable to finish this book before it expired on my Netgalley shelf. Happily I know that I can buy it. As someone who has diverticular disease I know how vital it is to keep a healthy gut and the recipes in this book do just that. I can recommend the recipes and information contained in the book for anyone hoping to maintain a healthy lifestyle especially the gut as mentioned. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for this handy and informative read.

Manage inflammation naturally with 100+ simple recipes.

Inflammatory reactions can have a debilitating effect on your daily life. Over time, inflammation can harm your organ functions, your energy...Cause chronic disease. Informative reading.

Recently I have been having several problems relates to my gut. This book has provided some insight on the subject of inflammation and the easy to follow steps for the recipes were very nice.

I appreciate the the clarity in which the author wrote and the great variety of recipes that are included in the book.

As someone who has recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism (and possibly Hashimoto's), this cookbook is such a blessing. The recipes are well-written and explained. This book could be very helpful for someone with an auto-immune issue.

This was an excellent cookbook for those with anti-inflammatory problems. I requested this as I am in this category and my son was recently diagnosed with Rheumotoid arthritis. I founf it very easy to follow, the information very enlightening and the recipes both easy to follow and delicious to eat. I am definitely buying this book for our use.

Thank you to Netgalley and Molly Thompson for the opportunity to read and review this book.

The book is subtitled Simple Recipes that Heal and Support Immune Health, and that is a good description of its focus. I enjoyed browsing through the introductory chapter explaining symptoms of harmful inflammation and descriptions of ingredients that can help heal it. Varied recipes are simply arranged by meal, and they include dishes from several cultures, as well as varied ingredients and preparation styles. For someone who wants a basic introduction to anti-inflammatory cooking and eating, this cookbook may be pleasing.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* Wow, i didn't know you could do all that with sweet potatoes! that alone made me want to buy this cookbook!

I have had to go through a lot of diets for health reasons, and eating anti-inflammatory foods was a big part of one, so this cookbook sounded just right. (My copy is called The Easy Anti-Inflammatory Cookbook.) The recipes are very reasonable and tasty looking for this type of diet. I would have liked more photos, but the ones included were gorgeous. There are lots of veggies throughout, which is fantastic. I definitely want to pick up a copy for the shrimp and grits recipe, among others. For those who collect cookbooks, you might not find a lot new here, but everyone else is likely to find something they like.

This is hands down the best anti-inflammatory cookbook I’ve read. These are real recipes (no extravagant ingredients you are going to need 1 tsp of and never use again) for real people. I could cook out of this everyday and my family would eat well.

Pros:
* easy to follow instructions.
* easy to find ingredients.
* great pictures.

Cons:
* I wish there were more. Hopefully a second book is coming.

Chronic inflammation is all the buzz and as such, this book has a lot of others to be compared to. Unfortunately it does not hit the mark. It was simply "fine". No stand out recipes, few photos and not enough nutritional facts. Readers/eaters who are interested in this title want to know the WHY of the recipe: what makes this version of a common food item different in a substantial way?

**Thank you to Molly Thompson, Quarto Publishing and NetGalley for allowing me to receive a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!** This cookbook is so helpful. I have recently been diagnosed with endometriosis and have been advised to start following an anti-inflammatory diet. This book has so many great recipes. It is very easy to become bored with an anti-inflammatory diet and this book really helped me to find so many more recipes! The recipes are exciting and taste great. I loved all of the additional optional items within the book, it's very helpful to have them in case you have an allergy or other reason to not want to add them to your meal.

I think with this particular book you need to have a flick through it before you actually buy it, see if there are recipes you would eat. Pain takes away so much of our lives that I'm of the view that you shouldn't eat food you won't enjoy unless the benefits of eating it out weighs the enjoyment of the other foods you do enjoy. For me there weren't enough recipes in here that I would actually eat to justify buying the book.

A cookbook is only as good as its recipes, but how the author describes and gives instruction definitely has a part to play as to its success. Cooking and baking are highly visual, so a cookbook with few photographs tends to not be as inspiring as one with photos of most of the finished dishes. Nutritional information is key, especially when the focus is on healthy eating. The Easy Anti-Inflammatory Cookbook has great recipes, several of which I have tried or will try. The author has key symbols so that readers can see at a glance if the recipe is Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and so forth. The problem is that the author does not include nutritional information, just short introductions with some of the recipes that explains the good benefits of the dishes. There are not a huge number of photographs either.

The first chapter of the cookbook explains the basics: symptoms of inflammatory problems, foods that reduce or increase inflammation, essential tools, and pantry items. The author then moves on to the recipe sections, which I have listed below with some of my favorites.

Breakfast: Banana Oatmeal Pancakes; Double Chocolate Banana Blended Muffins
Dips, Spreads and Snacks: Spicy Chicken Thai-Inspired Lettuce Wraps; Kale, Chorizo, and Artichoke Dip
Pasta and Grains: Roasted Summer Vegetable Pesto Pasta; One-Pot Taco Pasta; Blackened Chicken Tacos with Cilantro Lime Rice
Poultry and Pork: Tuscan Sausage and Cauliflower Soup; Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup; Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Beef: Instant Pot Mongolian Beef; Slow Cooker Korean Barbacoa Bowls
Seafood: Lemon, Garlic, and Asparagus Salmon Foil Packs; Seafood Shrimp Egg Roll in a Bowl; Spicy Shrimp Lettuce Wraps
Meatless Meals and Sides: Black Beans and Sweet Potato Enchiladas; Crispy Chickpea Caesar Salad; Marinated Chickpea and Brussels Sprouts Salad; Moroccan Lentil Stew with Mashed Potatoes
Beverages: Watermelon-Mint Mocktail; Vanilla Chai Latte

Overall, there are good recipes here. Because the author is not licensed or registered as a nutritionist, it is hard to be convinced that the recipes are healthy without the nutritional facts. The author uses a lot of coconut cream and coconut oil, which are high in healthy fats but used more liberally than I like.

Disclaimer: I was given an Advanced Reader's Copy by NetGalley and the publisher. The decision to read and review this cookbook entirely rested with me.

Although this book says “easy”, I didn't find these recipes all that easy. Most recipes call for ingredients not readily available at a grocery store unless you live in a bigger city or use Amazon. Maybe some substitutions for would help. I could not find paleo mayo, cassava flour, coconut sugars, no sugar added meats, to name a few.

I think most middle aged adults and older all suffer from back aches, arthritis, etc and could all benefit from an anti-inflammatory diet. A cookbook like this that includes easy to follow and delicious recipes will help anyone to do that. Bright and colorful pictures are included for many recipes. My only complaint is while it has plenty if recipes it is a bit short.

**Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the e-arc I received.**

I was given the opportunity to review this cookbook via NetGalley. It looks like a pretty good cookbook. I would not use it since many recipes called for food items I am either allergic to or do not like. For those who are health conscious, this could be a very good cookbook. The recipes seem creative and probably taste good, I just can not use many of the recipes.

Inflammatory reactions can have a debilitating effect on your daily life. Over time, inflammation can harm your organ functions, your energy levels, and cognitive abilities—but most inflammation can be healed. Anti-Inflammatory Recipes for Beginners, adapted from Molly Thompson’s The Anti-Inflammatory Diet Made Simple, is a collection of easy-to-make recipes with simple ingredients based on foods that are scientifically proven to reduce inflammation naturally. The right food choices can return your body function to its most efficient and ultimately eliminate symptoms associated with inflammatory disorders.
This cookbook has an anti-infammatory recipe key that uses symbols to see how each recipe adheres to the diet with markers such as refined sugar-free and incorporates other eating habits and allergies, such as vegan and gluten-free as well. The pictures are gorgeous and show you what the recipe should look like. I would like to try the Southwest Stuffed Peppers, One Pot Taco Pasta and Creamy Penne Arrabbiata.
