No Hassle 30-Minute Recipes to Reduce Inflammation

Our pediatrician has recommended that my kids be on an anti-inflammatory diet as much as possible, but I have struggled to find recipes that are simple enough for a busy working mom to make, and tasty enough for them to eat. Madeline Given has provided recipes that do both: Not too many ingredients, and many of them look kid-friendly. I'm very thankful for this new cookbook that will hopefully help me to keep on track with serving my kids the kinds of food that their bodies need.

After receiving the cookbook to test before it went on here, I have to say what a difference these delicious and easy meals have made! I don't have an autoimmune disease nor any other chronic condition, but I do notice that I as well as my family have experienced a significant improvement in our mental clarity, energy levels, and overall feeling of health! Thank you Madeline for allowing us to be a tester family!

Although I have not had the opportunity to cook any of these meals yet, I am SO excited to start doing so. The cookbook is nicely written. The descriptions are simple but jam packed with information. I love the simple format of this book and the beautiful photos included. I am so fascinated about all the anti-inflammatory foods out there and am thrilled that these recipes only take 30 minutes to whip up. Thank you Madeline Given for the well thought out and informative book. The meals all look delicious and I am excited to step out of my comfort food zone and put some delicious and good-for-me foods in my body.

So far so good, but disappointed with the lack of attention to detail given to the cover picture recipe-Coconut Cashew Butternut Squash Stew. In the first step the author instructs to toast the cashews with coconut oil and then set aside, but then never tells you what to do with the cashews- add to soup? puree? Also references add carrots to butternut squash, but never told you to put the butternut squash in the first place...overall sloppy, especially for the cover recipe. I hope the author can post a new version of this recipe to help her readers make the recipe as intended.

This is a fabulous cookbook! Very impressed from cover to cover! Full of invaluable information, great tips, simple, easy to read and understand, delicious recipes and beautiful photos. Who knew that the anti-inflammatory diet could be so doable and yummy! This cookbook is a must!!

I love everything about this book; it's organized, it's simple and straightforward, and the recipes aren't overly complex. Handy extras like shopping lists and a breakdown of best/worst foods for inflammation make it a must for anyone battling any inflammatory condition. I can't wait to start cooking (and that's NOT something I say often)!

I have always been cautious of any ‘diet’ that claims to be ‘anti-inflammatory’, but after working with Madeline personally for a few years now (and being accustomed to her family-friendly, nutritious meals) I was so excited about this cookbook. Not only do I love the way Madeline positively talks about food (with gorgeous pics) and how empowering food can be, but I also love the fact that she shares basic tips that are a great way for anyone looking to make lifestyle changes to accompany a variety of international recipes that are quick and easy to make (30 mins or less!!) - a bonus when you have two kids under 4. I add at least one of the meals to our daily meal plan and our whole family loves them – particularly the sweet potato oat muffins!!!

This book is good for certain types of anti-inflammatory cooking, but I was looking for tips on low FODMAP cooking for internal inflammation, which is pretty complicated (lower stakes but way more difficult to keep track of than gluten-free cooking). This book doesn't go into low FODMAP cooking or even address it at all. If you need to eat gluten free, it has a lot of good recipes, though.

It's professionally produced and has thoughtful recipes that look like they're not all just "rabbit food" - there's some hearty stuff in there.

Continuing research and studies indicate that eating healthy may help reduce or cure many health ailments. The "normal" diet appears to be detrimental to our health.

This is a great handbook and cookbook if you are starting your journey to healthy eating. Besides the recipes, the beginning of the book has useful information on supplements and spices that help to reduce inflammation. Also, lifestyle changes that can be made, such as reducing stress and getting enough sleep. In the back of the book, are two indexes, one listing the recipes in alphabetical order and another listing many ingredients and ailments in alphabetical order.

I would recommend this book for anyone looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

This is a visually beautiful cookbook with clear and straightforward recipes. I immediately loved the lists of pantry items and have already adjusted items my family purchases based on the recommendations. The smoothie recipes are already a family favorite with our 3.5 and 1.5 year old boys.

It contains useful information for general inflammation; I like how the recipes are described as gluten-free, vegan, paleo, etc. The index has recipes listed that are gluten-free, etc. The superfood hot chocolate recipe is tasty but not too sweet. Recipes can be modified if you follow a FODMAP diet. Quality information and delicious recipes. I look forward to trying the pineapple-carrot-ginger smoothie.

I began looking into anti inflammatory eating when I was dealing with sinus issues that wouldn't go away. It turned out to be environmental and food sensitivities. The foods that i tested as slightly allergic to are all on the list of food to avoid in this book! Corn, egg, dairy, soy, etc! I found that cutting back on these things during bad times helped a lot, and this book has helped me to understand the hows and whys much better!It has definitely given me ideas of better things to eat to reduce inflammation and what to avoid. The recipes are wonderful! From Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili, to Mediterranean Baked Salmon, there really is something for every occasion and level of expertise! The meals are satisfying and there is even desserts like Stone Fruit Cobbler included! I look forward to trying more recipes and eating my way to a less inflammatory life! I received a copy of this book free from the publisher!

Some of the recipes are pretty simple to make but some require a little time and money, if you don't already have the ingredients. I've become somewhat of a healthy eater the past couple of years so it's always good for me to shake up my meal plans. The only thing I didn't like about this book is the lack of pictures. I'm more apt to try a recipe if I see a picture of it. Great ideas though.
This book was given to me free of charge by the publisher.
