This is one of the most approachable cookbooks I have ever used. There are no long, drawn-out anecdotes about the author’s romance with that really expensive, hard-to-find ingredient, and no over-glamorized photographs of impossibly perfect baked goods on rustic pieces of slate. The book introduces itself by explaining the anti-inflammatory eating regime and covers a list of commonly used ingredients to keep around for snacking and cooking alike. There is also a sample meal prep schedule if you are looking to create new habits and adopt the diet full-time. The recipes themselves are organized by meal type like most other cookbooks. The part I find most useful is the difficulty meter at the top of each recipe so I can choose a meal to match how much energy I have in that moment. I love making the fish parchment packets and the breakfast taco salad!
