Anyone who has battled inflammation due to dozens of medical conditions will appreciate Molly Thompson’s expertise and experience to eliminate the problem in her cookbook, The Anti-Inflammatory Diet Made Simple: Delicious Recipes to Reduce Inflammation for Lifelong Health. It turns out that food can make a big difference, and Thompson presents dozens of mouthwatering recipes that will fight inflammation.

The word “diet” here is a bit misleading, since the cookbook contains great recipes that will appeal to everyone, not just those who have an inflammation problem. In fact, no one needs to know that these recipes are for a special purpose because they are delicious, and many are even suitable for company. The recipes are written in a traditional easy-to-follow manner, so they can be prepared by anyone cooking – from beginners to advanced. There are breakfast dishes, appetizers, salads, soups, mains, vegetables and meatless dishes as well as desserts that are appealing. Although there isn’t a photograph of every recipe there are many and they are beautiful. Most are quite easy to prepare, and others have a long list of ingredients that take a little more time. Nevertheless, there is something to appeal to everyone. The ingredients are fairly standard and most can be obtained at any grocery store.

Since almost everyone has had an inflammation problem from time to time, this is an excellent cookbook to include on every cookbook shelf. It will be used over and over, and the recipes are good enough that even when there isn’t a problem, the dishes will become favorites.
