5.0 out of 5 stars Great, great book for beginners
Reviewed in Canada on July 27, 2022

Where do I start - I do not love cooking but I've had some health issues (inflammation, brain fog, etc.) and was hoping this book could address that.

I did a lot of research on what might be inflammatory on me and with a grain of salt, also took my food sensitivity test into account as well. When I got the book, I was expecting to not like half the recipes in there but I read through week 1, then week 2 - I liked them! There were a couple of iffy ones (salads) that I didn't know I was going to like but it turned out as one of my favs as it was easy to put together & actually tasty! i.e. i do not like smell or taste of cooked lentils but it was a great addition to some of these recipes!

For those saying this is not an anti-inflammatory book, different items are inflammatory to different people. You need to pay attention to your body and see how yoru body reacts to certain foods. And there's always a range of how much you react to certain foods. Like if dairy doesn't sit well with you, leave it out (not that these recipes have dairy but it does recommend of part of breakfast some days but easily left out). I don't do good with almods, so I'd replace with walnuts, etc. - you get the point.

I do wish that there was more than 2 weeks of meal plan. I love the grocery list, I was able to break it into what to get at costco, etc. It made shopping a breeze (for the most part). Book says this but it does make meals for more than 2 people. It's a lot. It's currently just my husband and I, and my husband is a very picky eater so it's mostly me eating these and 1 week worth of groceries I think will last me 2-3 weeks! I will be freezing some of these for sure and hoping ingredients won't go to waste.

It's too early to say how I feel as I'm only on week 1 but I know from the past, going vegan for a month (essentially removing processed foods), it will have a tremendous impact on my health. I'm just happy that I found a book with recipes I ACTUALLY like. I will be buying her other books too once I'm done with this one. For twenty-something dollars, this was totally worth it.

I was excited for the meal plan. I hate planning my meals. I can follow any meal plan if it's set for me. I dont like to think about it. When the book arrived, I felt as if the information was vague and redundant. It only comes with a 2 week meal plan, not enough to solidify a healthy habit. The recipes are good though. I read someone who said they were boring. It might be if you are used to junk food, saucy takeout, or takeout. However, this is meant to get you on track and be more aware of the foods you consume.

5.0 out of 5 stars Trying something different
Reviewed in Canada on May 17, 2023

Trying to help reduce pain and also incorporate some purely vegetarian meals for variety and health for my husband and myself. I have already produced several of the recipes with excellent results, but I really wish the people who write these books would realize that I have never heard of some of the ingredients and I absolutely do not have access to them, so it would be really helpful to give alternatives for the fancy stuff. So all in all I am very pleased.

Not at all as shown. The silicone moulds were not thick enough to stay round. They are half as thick as the photo portrays. That’s what I get for the money I suppose. I would not recommend this product.

Theres a lot of odd complaints in the reviews. I bought the book anyways. It looks great! Havent tried any recipes as of yet but everything looks very easy, and most everything is made in bulk so you have the option of creating your own meal plan with a little self effort. The pre designed 2 week meal plan is a great idea, however they dont offer serving size per meal. Not a deal breaker, just needs a little more effort if calculating calories and macros. Some items are easy to figure out, others need a little more thought involved. Over all I feel this will be a great addition to my kitchen and I look forward to creating meal plans for myself!

I bought this book to help my husband who has inflammation issues. I myself have a gluten allergy and have been gluten free for many years. This is the first cookbook that I’ve purchased that I really LOVE. As of this writing, I’ve made 18 of theses recipes so far that are delicious. And some that I’ve already repeated. I love the fact that meat recipes are included. It’s not just for vegetarians or vegans. Most of the meat recipes are for fish and chicken, with a few for pork tenderloin, 1 ground beef and 1 steak. Also, almost every recipe is gluten free. And those that are not, have a tip to make them gluten free. For instance, swapping out regular pasta for gluten free, or gluten free toast for whole wheat. Another great feature is that all of these recipes are easy, and except for spices, have only 5 easy to find ingredients. No fancy expensive ingredients to buy. I like that the book gives you a 2week meal plan with a shopping list and an optional weekly prep guide. It’s very well laid out and easy to follow. However, because there are a few recipes with ingredients that I don’t like (beets for instance), I decided not to follow the weekly meal plans at first. Instead I picked out a few recipes I wanted to try, and kept a list of the ones that we really liked as we tried them. For the recipes we didn’t like, which were only a few, we substituted a recipe we did like. This allowed us to make our own meal plan. The beginning of this book explains inflammation and gives you a list of foods to enjoy, foods to consider with care, and foods to avoid. This book focuses on healthy fats, gluten free grains, veggies, low sugar fruits, seeds, legumes and anti-inflamatory spices like turmeric, ginger, rosemary and more.

So, has it helped my husband with his inflammation issues? It sure has. He has bad shoulder issues and following this diet has given him a greater range of motion in the shoulder and a lot less pain throughout the day. For me, I’ve discovered that having less dairy (can anyone say cheese please!) has helped me feel less bloated and I’ve lost a little weight.

Here are my top pros & cons.
Pros:
Gluten free
Easy recipes that don’t involve a lot of hard to find ingredients and are quick to make
The book is well laid out
High hit-rate of great tasting recipes
Includes both a recipe index and a full index
Priced right

Cons:
Wish it came in a spiral bound version (but mine has held up very well so far)
There are some pictures but could have included more
A few of the breakfast recipes were bland, so stick to the ones you try that you like
