The "I Love My Instant Pot®" Anti-Inflammatory Diet Recipe Book

As a single mom that works full time and has an autoimmune disorder, I try to watch my diet but find it can be difficult to have the time to create healthy meals. This cookbook includes a ton of different types of recipes so even if one isn't your taste, there's always something else to try that you may enjoy better.

This book is bursting with healthy recipes. At first I was a bit disappointed with the lack of pictures (just a few here and there), however the quantity of good quality recipes make up for this. Refreshingly some of the recipes are so easy to make (many from mainly store cupboard ingredients). They are also easy to adapt if you wanted to make any small changes. This is a great book to use if you are short of time and want something healthy, especially if you haven't planned ahead for a meal. There is also so lots of good information and advice for Anti-Inflammatory diets. It is a book with no airs and graces but provides more than you expect. Excellent thank you

Thank you to Adams Media and Net Galley for an ARC of this title in exchange for my honest review. Due to some health conditions, our family has been trying to cook in a more anti-inflammatory manner, but with my love of cooking ahead or quickly, I was running into problems. This book came at the perfect time. The recipes are good, realistic, and perfectly adapted to the Instant Pot. Thank you for this book!

Absolutely amazing book for instant pot lovers. I'm not particularly planning on following an anti inflammatory diet but thought that I might find some of the recipes in this book interesting anyway. The introduction about the health benefits of following an anti inflammatory diet did however pique my interest, it's never a bad thing to consider a healthier lifestyle is it.

Once I got to the recipes in the breakfast section of the book I found myself bookmarking lots of different recipes for oats because who doesn't like oats for breakfast? As I continued through the book I must have bookmarked at least 90% of the recipes in the entire book as they all looked and sounded so good and quite different to many other books I own. The ingredient lists are minimal and aside from monk fruit sugar (?!?!) everything seems quite to source. Being an Instant Pot book also means that everything is really easy to prepare. I cant wait to write my shopping and start trying these recipes out.

Fantastic book, highly recommended. Best instant pot book I have read.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for an advance copy of this title in exchange for an unbiased review.

I loved vet this cookbook! I suffer from a lot of inflammation and this is just the cook book I need. Lots of tasty and easy to use recipes! I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from Net Galley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Great Instant Pot cookbook dealing with anti-inflammatory foods. I look forward to trying lots of these recipes. They appear to be healthier than a lot of the recipes I have found for Instant Pot. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book for my honest opinion.

This cookbook is pretty great. I tried one of the recipes in it today (the tuscan white bean soup) and it was so good. There's a few more I will be trying as well.

I have owned my Instant Pot for over 4 years and I would not give it up. Okay, okay, I love my Instant Pot®. In four years, I have only purchased 3 cookbooks for the Instant Pot®. This will definitely be my fourth. Why? Because two minutes into browsing this book, I was itching to get into the kitchen, plug it in, and start cooking. It's a toss-up; on which recipe to try first. Hmmm, Chili Lime Black Beans or Tuscan White Bean Soup?

A wonderful book for anyone who has an instant pot! The recipes in this book are amazing because they look so good but are also anti-inflammatory. Even if you don't necessarily "need" anti-inflammatory food the recipes are great!

This is a really great cookbook! I use my instant pot regularly and try to eat anti-inflammatory foods as much as possible. This is a great addition to my collection. The recipes are easy to follow with step by step instructions. The recipes look delicious and I can't wait to try more!

I received this ARC from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review

I was recently diagnosed with some auto immune diseases that cause inflammation throughout my body and it was suggested that I start to change my diet to help with the inflammation. I was very excited to get approved for this book to start checking out some recipes. I was worried that the quality or taste of what I could eat would be lowered but this book showed me there are many ways to still eat amazing meals. 175 recipes that are easy to follow and plenty to choose from. Highly recommended.

The "I Love My Instant Pot" Anti-Inflammatory Diet Recipe Book is a tutorial and recipe reference specifically aimed at an anti-inflammatory diet. Released 1st Oct 2019 by Simon & Schuster on their Adams imprint, it's 224 pages and available in paperback and ebook formats.

This book is a wonderful resource, especially for family dinners where one (or more) members are trying to adhere to a special diet, in this case inflammatory conditions or auto immune diseases. The instant pot adds convenience and speed to the equation along with -normal- tasting family friendly meal options.

The book has a nice, easy to follow layout. The introductory chapter and how-to tutorial (~7% of the content) cover the basic hows and whys of using the instant pot. The following chapters cover the standards: breakfast, soups/stews/chili, snacks/appetizers, beans/rice/whole grains, side dishes, poultry, seafood/fish, vegetarian, and dessert.

Each of the recipes includes an introductory description, ingredients listed in a bullet point sidebar (US measurements only, though there's a conversion chart in the back of the book), step by step instructions, as well a footer with nutritional info. I would estimate roughly 10% of the recipes are accompanied by photographs. The photos provided are high quality and clear.

The recipe ingredients themselves are easily sourced and will be available at most well stocked grocery stores. There are a very few ingredients which might be a little more difficult to source (frozen edamame pods and erythritol, for example), but definitely nothing that is 'way out there'.

We tried three tester recipes and all of them were well written without any measurement or cooking time errors and produced food which was enthusiastically eaten by my family. Lemon Garlic Chicken Thighs (p.130) produced a beautiful main dish in less than half an hour total at a budget friendly total cost. Coconut Curry Sweet Potato Soup (p. 47) was a huge hit and we've made it twice since our first try. We did adjust the original recipe on the other tries to make it a little zippier. The original recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of mild curry powder.. so we added half of a Moroccan curry powder (ras el hanout). The last one we tried was Sweet Potato Hummus (p. 72). our regular basic hummus (sans sweet potato) is quick and easy... but this was an interesting twist with the addition of sweet potato. The texture was a little different and the reception was mixed. It's tasty...but we're big fans of basic hummus; it's going to take some experimentation to see if we'll add the sweet potato on a regular basis.

All in all, -very- well written, beautifully presented food, made from (mostly) unprocessed raw ingredients which are easily sourced and taste good.

Five stars, we'll be revisiting this cookbook often.

These recipes are easy to follow with clear instructions. The ingredients are not hard to find. I loved the Lemon Garlic Chicken Thighs. And will definitely be trying more of these recipes.
Many thanks to Adams Media and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is a great book for several different reasons.
1. I have yet to meet anyone who has been able to say they use their Instant Pot for more than just a few recipes. Most say..."I don't have time to experiment". With this book, there is no experimentation needed. The work is already done.
2. As the population has aged, our stressed out life styles and prior bad eating habits have left many of us with specific dietary needs that go past mashed potatoes with no butter or cream or plain oatmeal. This book has so many wonderful recipes....I've tried at least 20 in the last two weeks...that make it easy to meet those dietary restrictions and still enjoy what is on our plate.
3. The recipes not only are tasty and nutritious, they are very clearly set out and easy to follow. You will get great results the first time out and that's hard to say on a lot of cooking issues.

there are more reasons, but it would be best if you found them for yourself. you already LOVE your instant pot, now you can love your gut too.

When people come to the library reference desk looking for an Instant Pot cookbook, they all say the same thing: I want some good recipes, but I also want a book that will tell me how to use my Instant Pot. This cookbook includes a helpful overview chapter with what the different buttons mean, and when you might use each. It also includes lists of foods that are good for an anti-inflammatory diet, such as fruits and vegetables, salmon and tuna, nuts, etc.

I do not have an Instant Pot, and they look a little intimidating, but I think I would feel confident trying the recipes in this cookbook. Each includes detailed instructions on which buttons to push and when to add various ingredients. Also listed is nutritional information, along with factual sidebars. I could have used more photos--not all recipes get a picture--but otherwise this looks like a helpful user guide and cookbook.

As someone who has family members that deal with chronic inflammation, this cookbook has been an absolute godsend especially given it is for the instant pot. The recipes are delicious and super easy to follow. I had no problem following the instructions and the recipes came out perfect each time. This cookbook is definitely something I will be gifting to my family.
