The Easy Autoimmune Protocol Cookbook: Nourish and Heal with 30-Minute, 5-Ingredient, and One-Pot Paleo Autoimmune Recipes

by Karissa Long, Katie Austin

The autoimmune protocol (AIP) was developed around a simple, science-backed concept: What we eat―or don’t eat―has the ability to powerfully impact our health. By eliminating foods that trigger a negative immune response and nourishing the body with foods that heal, this protocol was designed to help those living with autoimmune diseases reverse and manage their symptoms, and achieve optimal well-being.

With a thorough explanation of the science behind the protocol, more than 100 satisfying and healing recipes like Pumpkin Waffles and Pork Chops with Peaches and Parsnips created with ease and flavor in mind, as well as a sample meal plan to get you started, this book takes the guesswork and intimidation out of the protocol, and provides you with everything you need to take the first steps toward healing.

Callisto Media/Rockridge Press was kind enough to send me a copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review.

I am heavily into auto-immune eating as I have lupus and this book is wonderful. The recipes were great combinations of ingredients and even I understood the recipes - I am known for not being a good cook! The photos were wonderful - I am glad that they show what the food should look like so I have an idea how to plate...or just make ... the recipes.

A great book --- healthy food made with ingredients instead of boxed food from the cupboard.

I know it's difficult to dream up easy and delicious AIP recipes, considering all the ingredient restrictions, but these two authors have done an admirable job. A pretty good variety of foods and flavors are represented here, with new twists especially on desserts.

It was... a cookbook. Aimed at eating with autoimmune issues.

I picked it up at the library and harvested a good 2 dozen or so (I didn't use a full two stacks of sticky flags) recipes out of it. It's not great enough that I want to buy a copy for my shelf, but for someone just starting out it might be a good book to have, or at the very least, look for it in their local library.

I will say this: I took off one whole star because of nowhere did they mention that turmeric works best and is more beneficial when it's used with black pepper. They have several recipes that emphasize turmeric, especially for inflammatory issues, but I don't remember a single one of those recipes having black pepper in it. I realize that black pepper is one of those "sometimes, maybe" foods when it comes to AIP, but if it's been re-introduced into the diet, it should go along with the turmeric. Several other recipes included notes along the lines of "if you've re-introduced [this ingredient]..." but there was zero mention about the turmeric/black pepper correlation. It's greatly disappointing because turmeric is really nothing more than a tasty colourant without black pepper involved. (From the studies I've read, it's the piperine that aids in and enhances the absorption of the curcumin. It's all food science-y. Just run "black pepper and turmeric" through the search engine of your choice. Happy reading.)

I loved this cook book - I even bought the physical copy after having it on kindle for a month - the recipes are fast, the ingredients are minimal, and you can make substitutes if you wish - the bottom explains the recipe and macros - adore
