Reader Reviews
William Walker
★★★★★It's a fine cookbook, but I was hoping for a bit more guidance on the actual science of inflammation. The recipes are solid and easy to follow — I've made several — but the intro felt a little thin. For someone who's totally new, the pantry section is helpful, though I wish it had more specific shopping lists. Still, a decent starting point.

★★★★★The recipes work, I'll give it that. But the meal plan felt a bit repetitive, and I didn't love how many recipes called for ingredients I didn't have on hand. That said, the weeknight mains were a hit, and the dressings are great. I think it's a good book for someone who already has a few basics in the pantry, but maybe not for a true beginner.
Ronald Harris
★★★★★I've tried so many anti-inflammatory cookbooks that were either too fussy or too preachy. This one is a breath of fresh air. Every recipe I've tried has been delicious — the turmeric chicken stew and the berry crumble are now in my regular rotation. The meal plan was actually doable, and I loved that it gave me a grocery list. I feel less overwhelmed and more excited to cook. Highly recommend for anyone starting out.
Cynthia Wright
★★★★★Not bad, but not earth-shattering. The recipes are decent, but I've seen similar ones on blogs for free. The layout is nice, and the instructions are clear, but I didn't find the chapter on questions very in-depth. It might be a good gift for a friend, but I didn't find much new information here.

★★★★★I bought this because I was tired of guessing which foods actually help with inflammation. This book gave me a practical starting point without making me feel like I had to overhaul my entire life. The recipes are simple and tasty — my family has enjoyed most of them. The two-week meal plan was the most useful part for me; it made grocery shopping easy. A few recipes are a little boring, but overall, it's a solid, helpful cookbook.
Mary White
★★★★★It's okay. The recipes are clean and easy, but I found some of them a bit bland. I was hoping for more creative flavor combinations, but I guess for a beginner book, it's fine. The sections are well organized, and I appreciate the time estimates. I'll likely pass this on to a friend who's just getting started.
