Having arthritis in my body and possibly be diagnosed with lupus in the future I am trying to take care my health now as much as I can. I am trying to limit the foods I intake to decrease the foods I eat that will increase my anti inflammatory markers. I can tell when I have a bad day with red knuckles but trying out this book I have had more good days then bad.

This cookbook had some really great recipes. The recipes were easy to understand and not too complicated for the average cook. I enjoyed the illustrations and look forward to making these recipes for years to come.

I tried 3 recipes from this cookbook: Avocado Deviled Eggs, Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal and Jasmine Rice with Mushrooms. Overall, I think this was easy to read and had a variety of recipes to try from breakfast to dessert. So, the first recipe I will review is the Jasmine Rice with Mushrooms. Easy recipe to pull together I personally found a little bland, but I think it is a good base recipe that I could build which is sometimes better. On to the Avocado Deviled Eggs, I now know how to make hard boiled eggs with a pressure cooker. In all fairness I am super picky about deviled eggs, nobody makes them like Grandma. I was not fond of this recipe, but I think I will use avocados in the future when I make my Grandma’s deviled eggs. Lastly the recipe I had the biggest issue with, the Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal. This recipe called for date syrup. I don’t live in a food desert and I have a food co-op with obscure items and date syrup was not there. If a recipe calls for something that specific have substitutions available in the recipe. I don’t want to have research substitutions for a new recipe or order something from Amazon to try a recipe. This really dragged down any appeal of this book because I have no desire to look at other recipes because if I cannot readily get ingredients this cookbook is not worth it. Three stars because I think there are some interesting recipes, but that date syrup really frustrated me.

Thank you to NetGally, Maryea Flaherty and Adams Media for the free copy. This was an honest review.

A great cookbook for those who cant spent a lot of time in the kitchen due to time or health issues. This cookbook is idea for those looking for natural ways to assist their bodies.

This was a really simple cookbook. I felt that most of the recipes were simple enough to follow and the few I made turned out good. There were a few I found a bit confusing and would recommend that the directions be checked for clarity. The one thing I don't like is the "diet" in the title. It's simple but that word can be such a negative impact on how people relate to recpies and food. Overall I would recommend this to people who struggle with inflammation.

As someone who has family members that deal with chronic inflammation, this cookbook has been an absolute godsend especially given it is for the instant pot. The recipes are delicious and super easy to follow. I had no problem following the instructions and the recipes came out perfect each time. This cookbook is definitely something I will be gifting to my family.

Good for someone new to instapot. It is well-written, well-organized and easy to understand. There are good recipes although some ingredients were new to me which meant searching the store for them. Overall there was a good variety and a nice selection of meals to choose from.

Thanks to NetGalley for an advance readers copy.

What a great cookbook! The material is well written and presented in an easy to follow manner. I look forward to trying out several of these recipes.

This is a great addition to have in your cooking library! I really loved the addition of snacks and desserts! For those new to healthy eating or instant pots Maryea makes recipes easy to understand.

The perfect book for the more health conscious instant pot user. Straightforward and no fuss and a wide variety of dishes.

When people come to the library reference desk looking for an Instant Pot cookbook, they all say the same thing: I want some good recipes, but I also want a book that will tell me how to use my Instant Pot. This cookbook includes a helpful overview chapter with what the different buttons mean, and when you might use each. It also includes lists of foods that are good for an anti-inflammatory diet, such as fruits and vegetables, salmon and tuna, nuts, etc.

I do not have an Instant Pot, and they look a little intimidating, but I think I would feel confident trying the recipes in this cookbook. Each includes detailed instructions on which buttons to push and when to add various ingredients. Also listed is nutritional information, along with factual sidebars. I could have used more photos--not all recipes get a picture--but otherwise this looks like a helpful user guide and cookbook.

Great selection of recipes and pictures! Many easy and delicious anti-inflammatory recipes for the instant pot! Highly recommend for everyone.

*I received an advanced reader’s copy of this book in exchange for my honest review

This is a great book for several different reasons.
1. I have yet to meet anyone who has been able to say they use their Instant Pot for more than just a few recipes. Most say..."I don't have time to experiment". With this book, there is no experimentation needed. The work is already done.
2. As the population has aged, our stressed out life styles and prior bad eating habits have left many of us with specific dietary needs that go past mashed potatoes with no butter or cream or plain oatmeal. This book has so many wonderful recipes....I've tried at least 20 in the last two weeks...that make it easy to meet those dietary restrictions and still enjoy what is on our plate.
3. The recipes not only are tasty and nutritious, they are very clearly set out and easy to follow. You will get great results the first time out and that's hard to say on a lot of cooking issues.

there are more reasons, but it would be best if you found them for yourself. you already LOVE your instant pot, now you can love your gut too.

A great cookbook with a lot of recipes to try. It also has a very helpful section about nutrition and inflammation and its causes.

These recipes are easy to follow with clear instructions. The ingredients are not hard to find. I loved the Lemon Garlic Chicken Thighs. And will definitely be trying more of these recipes.
Many thanks to Adams Media and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

I must say I got an instant pot nd wasn’t really that crazy about it. I felt like many of the things were not that fast or easy compared to what I normally make. This book has helped with that, as there are a lot of recipes that I think are better for me. It is ice to have n anti inflammatory version of an instant pot cookbook.

"Chronic inflammation is a major health risk and can wreak havoc on your body, contributing to many types of diseases. But preventing and/or reducing inflammation doesn’t have to be an overwhelming challenge. Diet—particularly one high in processed, fatty, and sugary foods—is one of the main causes of chronic inflammation, but by introducing anti-inflammatory meals into your diet, you can reduce inflammation and enjoy a healthier lifestyle."

Delicious,satisfying whole foods recipes that are easy to make, just put them in the instant pot and let it do the work for you.
The anti-inflammatory diet is just what your health needs.

The "I Love My Instant Pot" Anti-Inflammatory Diet Recipe Book is a tutorial and recipe reference specifically aimed at an anti-inflammatory diet. Released 1st Oct 2019 by Simon & Schuster on their Adams imprint, it's 224 pages and available in paperback and ebook formats.

This book is a wonderful resource, especially for family dinners where one (or more) members are trying to adhere to a special diet, in this case inflammatory conditions or auto immune diseases. The instant pot adds convenience and speed to the equation along with -normal- tasting family friendly meal options.

The book has a nice, easy to follow layout. The introductory chapter and how-to tutorial (~7% of the content) cover the basic hows and whys of using the instant pot. The following chapters cover the standards: breakfast, soups/stews/chili, snacks/appetizers, beans/rice/whole grains, side dishes, poultry, seafood/fish, vegetarian, and dessert.

Each of the recipes includes an introductory description, ingredients listed in a bullet point sidebar (US measurements only, though there's a conversion chart in the back of the book), step by step instructions, as well a footer with nutritional info. I would estimate roughly 10% of the recipes are accompanied by photographs. The photos provided are high quality and clear.

The recipe ingredients themselves are easily sourced and will be available at most well stocked grocery stores. There are a very few ingredients which might be a little more difficult to source (frozen edamame pods and erythritol, for example), but definitely nothing that is 'way out there'.

We tried three tester recipes and all of them were well written without any measurement or cooking time errors and produced food which was enthusiastically eaten by my family. Lemon Garlic Chicken Thighs (p.130) produced a beautiful main dish in less than half an hour total at a budget friendly total cost. Coconut Curry Sweet Potato Soup (p. 47) was a huge hit and we've made it twice since our first try. We did adjust the original recipe on the other tries to make it a little zippier. The original recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of mild curry powder.. so we added half of a Moroccan curry powder (ras el hanout). The last one we tried was Sweet Potato Hummus (p. 72). our regular basic hummus (sans sweet potato) is quick and easy... but this was an interesting twist with the addition of sweet potato. The texture was a little different and the reception was mixed. It's tasty...but we're big fans of basic hummus; it's going to take some experimentation to see if we'll add the sweet potato on a regular basis.

All in all, -very- well written, beautifully presented food, made from (mostly) unprocessed raw ingredients which are easily sourced and taste good.

Five stars, we'll be revisiting this cookbook often.

I was recently diagnosed with some auto immune diseases that cause inflammation throughout my body and it was suggested that I start to change my diet to help with the inflammation. I was very excited to get approved for this book to start checking out some recipes. I was worried that the quality or taste of what I could eat would be lowered but this book showed me there are many ways to still eat amazing meals. 175 recipes that are easy to follow and plenty to choose from. Highly recommended.

Still cranky about food issues as I get older (allergies, sensitivities, inflammation), I'm doing more research about the foods I eat (sigh) and I was happy to review this book for more information. I don't have an instant pot (yet) and before I purchase one I wanted to know how it's used. This is a nice cookbook, organized, designed simply with great photos (I could use more though) and numbered instructions (YES!). The inflammation information was good and simple (I don't want to know the detailed science). The downside is being fairly new to keto (in my search of trying to feel better) most recipes wouldn't work at this point. However, I'm keeping this book as a resource for the near future because fighting inflammation through food is a priority on the quest to feel better.
