The section dealing with why it might be a good idea to try an anti-inflammatory diet was informative and helpful for a beginner, but I found many of the recipes I tried to be lacking seasoning. Add some spices Michelle! Especially because we're working with such a limited menu (greens, veggies, bean, nuts, fish, and healthy fats).

The recipes are OK but nothing terribly special. If you're trying to adjust to an anti-inflammatory diet and don't really know where to start this book might be a handy reference, if not the best one out there.

Recipes that take the guess work out of avoiding ingredients that can cause inflammation. In this book, those foods include wheat/gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, corn, peanuts, citrus, nightshades. I've made some of the recipes and the results are pretty close to the expected.

Very light on the meat

A few snacks
The expected bunches of veggie recipes
