One-Minute Book Review

The Anti-Inflammatory Diet Slow Cooker Cookbook: Prep-and-Go Recipes for Long-Term Healing – by Madeline Given

The author, a nutritionist, has a strongly reactionary take on what’s inflammatory or not, so we see some interesting choices such as including red meat and excluding soy beans, but for the most part, the recipes are from ingredients generally considered at least non-inflammatory, if not anti-inflammatory (which many are, especially the herbs, spices, berries, and leafy greens).

For those who do wish to avoid specific foods due to allergies or intolerances, they are marked as being, for example, dairy-free, nut-free, nightshade-free, and so forth.

By default, she does give us mostly dairy-free recipes, by the way, usually swapping any unfermented dairy for plant-based alternatives. Of course, not every plant-based alternative will be right for every reader, but a degree of common sense can be assumed with regard to substitutions (e.g. maybe don’t go with the recommendation of a nut milk if you have a nut allergy, etc).

The recipes themselves, of which there are 90, are pleasant and clearly described, and (consistent with what one would expect from a book of slow cooker recipes) involve an absolute minimum of preparation time.

Bottom line: this one will go best if you are already aware of what’s inflammatory or not for you personally; aside from that, it’s a mostly very respectable book of tasty slow cooker recipes.
