I have an autoimmune condition for which I require ongoing medical care. It affects my tummy, joints, nervous system, bleeding, and sinuses with verifiable lab and MRI problems.
I have researched and tried multiple diets. Pretty much every recipe in this book contains foods that are forbidden by the best research and my personal experiences.
A better title would be " The Generally Healthy Cookbook for Healthy People. " Shame on the author for trying to jump on a bandwagon. I say shame on you because you could actually do harm to someone suffering from an inflammatory condition.
Gluten is NOT just a sticky substance that gunks up the belly. It is a protein that can cause an antibody reaction in some people. This reaction is so severe that infants affected can die. So severe in adults affected that it leads to malnutrition. If you are affected. If you aren't, then it doesn't gunk up your innards. The book is chock full of misinformation.
I have so many pages marked in this that I may well have to buy my own copy. If you are interested in changing what you eat, and want a variety of dishes to choose from, this is a good book to take a look at. Plus, slow cooker too.
I appreciate that the author tried to help people manage a diet that is really difficult to stick to if one has anything in their life going on other than their need to cook. It’s hard. I get it. That said, as someone who has had to avoid a lot of foods in order to allow my body to heal, I have to say that this cookbook wouldn’t work for me. Lots of healthy people could probably benefit from this book but I can’t imagine it’s terribly healthy for anyone actually suffering from an inflammatory auto-immune disease. For auto-immune protocol, it isn’t just gluten, dairy, corn, soy, sugar and peanuts that have to be avoided. It’s also nightshades, all grains, nuts, seeds (and spices made from them), high-sugar and citrus fruits, starchy vegetables, etc. that have to be avoided. Maybe there’s nothing wrong with this cookbook other than the mis-leading title but I won’t get a chance to find out since there’s almost nothing I can make in it. I do like the idea of the coconut yoghurt. If I wasn’t sensitive to coconut (yeah, imagine how hard that is on an AIP diet) I’d reckon that recipe alone was probably worth buying the book for. For those looking for edible AIP recipes, I’ve had luck with the recipes posted on the blog “A Squirrel In The Kitchen�
First of all, I have to say that I love my slow cooker and that I have fibromyalgia so an anti-inflammatory cookbook will be so helpful in planning my meals.
The recipes in this cookbook are pretty much just toss the ingredients in the slow cooker, set it and go. Well, you may have to peel and cut a few ingredients but that is about it.
We all know that carbs and sugars can cause inflammatory issues so the recipes in this book eliminate that. There are recipes that are plant-based, poultry, meats, desserts, and sauces. Making desserts in the slow cooker has me intrigued!
There is an introduction at the beginning of the book that is helpful as it describes whole grains, flavorful spices and herbs, healthy fats and food sensitivities and allergies. The part that I like the most is the pantry and refrigerator essentials.
There are a lot of the recipes that I intend to try, I may even share the recipes with my sister as she has the same issues. As I said, I love my slow cooker, I actually have two of them and I will be trying the recipes and I think that this cookbook will be a go-to for me in preparing my meals for hubby and me.
I have only tried one recipe in here, but it's a great one! Vegan Buffalo Dip. I haven't been interested in trying much else from it yet, so I only have 3 stars to give.
UPDATE 2021: I got rid of this cookbook since I never made anything except the Buffalo dip from it.
We looked over The Anti-Inflammatory Diet Slow Cooker Cookbook: Prep-and-Go Recipes for Long-Term Healing by Madeline Given NC and found it to be easy to follow and well-written.
The beginning of the book explains a lot about anti-inflammatory eating and what should make up a good part of our diet.
We live in a fast-paced world where everyone eats fast on-the-go. The book will help with that. Instead of grabbing a quick burger from the local fast food drive thru, we can have a hot, delicious, healthy meal.
Prep time is kept to a minimum and most of the cooking takes place slowly while we are doing other things. If you don’t have enough time to fix the recipes in this book, you don’t have enough time to go tell a clown head what you want to eat, either.
We think you will really like The Anti-Inflammatory Diet Slow Cooker Cookbook. It will make a great present for any would be cook on your list.

The Anti-Inflammatory Diet Slowcooker Cookbook is filled with over 90 quick-prep recipes for the slowcooker (not Instant Pot). It's also filled with basic principles of the anti-inflammatory diet, tips, tricks, and dos and don'ts. Recipes are labeled for their specific type: corn-free, dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free, nightshade-free, nut-free, soy-free, sugar-free, and vegan. There are recipes for every meal of the day in chapters that highlight the main ingredient (poultry, meat, dessert, sauces, plant-based, beans & grains, and breakfast). This is a great slow cooker cookbook to get started with the anti-inflammatory diet.
I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

If you need an anti-inflammatory diet and have never used a slow cooker before this book is for you!
If you use a slow cooker for cooking on a semi-regular basis half of the recipes will be useless to you. That being said, there are some great inspirational recipes to get you out of your mundane slow cooker rut. The dessert section is also nice to see, although I might have to invest in a second slow cooker.
I picked this book up from a bookbub recommendation. I have issues with my stomach and inflammation plays a big part in those issues. I quickly skimmed through the recipes tonight and look forward to giving them a try.
Interesting read but to many recipes with unfamiliar ingredients without explanation or ease to purchase. Not for the average pantry..but will try some of the simpler recipes.
This book is loaded with recipes I will actually use! Down home dishes and desserts too! I highly recommend this book for everyone with a restricted diet because the recipes take away the fear and confusion that starting a new eating habit can bring.
The only thing I have a problem with is there are many recipes that call for nightshades. Nightshades ARE inflammatory so I’m not sure why the author is so fond of them in her book.
Recipes I will definitely try as I have arthritis and inflammation. I only wish she had included recipes for breads using spelt, almond, cassava and quinoa flours as I miss my bread.
I love how this book is laid out so it's easy to skip entire sections if you're not interesting in it. For instance, you can skip over plant-based mains or meat recipes if you choose. Lots of good ideas and some that I am happy to say look very simple.
I have always incorporated animal protein into my recipes. This book educated me on how to incorporate vegetable protein into my daily life. I will be referring to this cook book often.
I finally found recipes that I would actually eat and enjoy! The ingredients were simple and easy to get! Looking forward to trying them! I will probably hold on to this one instead of returning!
Can't wait to start using these recipes. I love using a slow cooker , my favorite kitchen appliance, and these recipes use mostly ingredients that are already in my kitchen.
I love the slow cooker aspect of this cookbook. The recipes are easy to follow and save a lot of time. Not to mention they are healthy. Wouldn't mind more like this.
