I am SO here for this book.

I've recently discovered the wonders of the Instant Pot, and honestly doesn't it seem like all of us women have some sort of auto-immune issue? *ugh*

I was very happy to find recipes inside that seemed less messy and more healthy than what I usually make. Looking forward to incorporating this into everyday life.

I love my pressure cooker and enjoy discovering new ways to use it. These recipes look delicious and will also help with anti-inflammatory. Well designed and beautifully illustrated. Recipes are easy to read.

I'm gonna suggest that this book will be very useful for people who are either new to the Instant Pot or are just experimenting with an anti-inflammatory diet. It is well-written, well-organized and easy to understand. I especially appreciated the introduction to electric pressure cooking.

For someone who has had a particular anti-inflammatory program (such as the Whole 30 or any number of variants) prescribed or recommended, the book may be more frustrating. Most of them ask us to avoid grains and legumes. I think I counted 40 recipes that call for erythritol, a low-calorie sugar substitute that is now widely available.

I'm sure that erytritol is a godsend to many people, but it is created when a type of yeast ferments glucose from corn or wheat starch. Most anti-inflammatory programs prohibit yeast, wheat and corn.

This book will help a lot of people learn how to cook more healthfully -- and more conveniently! The instruction is straightforward. It just shows that there's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to our diets.

Thanks to NetGalley for an advance readers copy.

This is a really great cookbook! I use my instant pot regularly and try to eat anti-inflammatory foods as much as possible. This is a great addition to my collection. The recipes are easy to follow with step by step instructions. The recipes look delicious and I can't wait to try more!

I received this ARC from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review

A wonderful book for anyone who has an instant pot! The recipes in this book are amazing because they look so good but are also anti-inflammatory. Even if you don't necessarily "need" anti-inflammatory food the recipes are great!

I enjoyed trying recipes from this cookbook. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I tried a number of recipes and the results were perfect. The only criticism I have is that people who like their food spicy will find a number of the recipes bland. But that's easy to rectify. The fact that the book is authorized by Instant Pot is reassuring and the information provided for IP users is useful.

I have owned my Instant Pot for over 4 years and I would not give it up. Okay, okay, I love my Instant Pot®. In four years, I have only purchased 3 cookbooks for the Instant Pot®. This will definitely be my fourth. Why? Because two minutes into browsing this book, I was itching to get into the kitchen, plug it in, and start cooking. It's a toss-up; on which recipe to try first. Hmmm, Chili Lime Black Beans or Tuscan White Bean Soup?

This cookbook is pretty great. I tried one of the recipes in it today (the tuscan white bean soup) and it was so good. There's a few more I will be trying as well.

Great Instant Pot cookbook dealing with anti-inflammatory foods. I look forward to trying lots of these recipes. They appear to be healthier than a lot of the recipes I have found for Instant Pot. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book for my honest opinion.

This book is for anyone looking for Anti-Inflammatory meals and a quick and easy way to cook meals. Using a friends Instant Pot has me wondering if it is needed. Lots of recipes that might help those who struggle with inflammation and even if you do not it is a great recipe book. The book gives step bu step instructions that make it easy for even the worst of cooks.

I loved vet this cookbook! I suffer from a lot of inflammation and this is just the cook book I need. Lots of tasty and easy to use recipes! I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from Net Galley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The "I Love My Instant Pot®" Anti-Inflammatory Diet Recipe Book by Maryea Flaherty is a well stocked cookbook full of recipes in many categories for your Instant Pot. The author has taken the time to include recipes from the very basic (hard boiled eggs) to the more complex (Creamy Coconut Lime Chicken Bowl with Cauliflower and Spinach). Several recipes include pictures, but not all. The words Anti-Inflammatory caught my eye and I requested this cookbook as an advanced reading copy as I have been cutting down inflammatory foods from my diet for many reasons. Unfortunately, I couldn't utilize many of the recipes in this book as that means no sugars for me in a more low carb, keto lifestyle. Many of the recipes contain grains, fruits and legumes, all foods that cause inflammation for me. However, the author does a good job of steering the reader away from processed foods, refined carbs and dairy and sticks to real, whole and unprocessed foods to build the recipes included. Many thanks to Adams Media and Netgalley for the opportunity to review this book.

Absolutely amazing book for instant pot lovers. I'm not particularly planning on following an anti inflammatory diet but thought that I might find some of the recipes in this book interesting anyway. The introduction about the health benefits of following an anti inflammatory diet did however pique my interest, it's never a bad thing to consider a healthier lifestyle is it.

Once I got to the recipes in the breakfast section of the book I found myself bookmarking lots of different recipes for oats because who doesn't like oats for breakfast? As I continued through the book I must have bookmarked at least 90% of the recipes in the entire book as they all looked and sounded so good and quite different to many other books I own. The ingredient lists are minimal and aside from monk fruit sugar (?!?!) everything seems quite to source. Being an Instant Pot book also means that everything is really easy to prepare. I cant wait to write my shopping and start trying these recipes out.

Fantastic book, highly recommended. Best instant pot book I have read.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for an advance copy of this title in exchange for an unbiased review.

I really like this cookbook. It's full of great recipes. I have tried several and they are delicious and easy. There are no complicated hard to find ingredients.

I am reviewing the kindle version of the book so it may differ from a printed copy (not sure).
I have read through this entire cookbook but I have not attempted to make all the recipes just a select handful.

The information is well written and easy to understand. The recipes all sound very good and most of them are things I would eat. I am definitely going to be trying most of them.

I agree with other reviewers and wish it include more photos I fibd it helpful to see if a meal look's appetizing in the photo. Not a deal breaker or anything but I feel it is helpful to see the pictures. (it is on occasion the reason I read them).

I do see one issue with the book. I applaud the author for trying to think of innovative ideas on how to use the instapot. It has opened my eyes to new possiblties. However, some of these recipes are not worth the added trouble involved and are easier to cook using standard methods. For instance the cocolate chip fat bombs and the almond butter fat bombs (the only thing you do in the instant pot is melt coconut oil) a pan or the microwave would be easier and quicker. The chocolate mousse recipe doesn’t even use the instant pot so I'm unsure why that recipe is included. There are a few other recipes along that line. I dont feel the need to point them all out by name and it really is a personal cooking choice on what works best for the person making the dish.

There are also several recipes that leave it to your previous cooking knowledge because steps have been left out (or it is unclear when to add the ingredients). For example, the Lemon Poppyseed Cake recipe talks about lemon zest but the recipe doesn't include lemon zest in the list of ingredients. The Cauliflower Breakfast Casserole instructions tell you to steam 1/2 head of cauliflower and set it aside. It never mentions the cauliflower again, so you have to guess when to add it back. These are just few examples of poor or unclear directions on a few recipes.

The directions in the use of the Instant Pot are also not clear but models vary and I don't necessarily feel that's a deterant. I believe a little blurb about seeing specific instructions for your model of instapot would be sufficient to correct that issue. Overall I really like the cookbook and I would recommend giving it a try.

This cookbook has many useful Instant Pot instructions as well as many delicious sounding recipes. The cookbook calls for a number of ingredients that I am not, personally, familiar with using, such as erythritol, nutritional yeast and coconut aminos, I will have to look into availability of these ingredients before trying those recipes. The recipes are step to step easy to follow and I look forward to trying them. All categories are covered, from Breakfasts to Appetizers to Meals and deserts. Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to view this ARC for my honest opinion.

Thank you to Adams Media and Net Galley for an ARC of this title in exchange for my honest review. Due to some health conditions, our family has been trying to cook in a more anti-inflammatory manner, but with my love of cooking ahead or quickly, I was running into problems. This book came at the perfect time. The recipes are good, realistic, and perfectly adapted to the Instant Pot. Thank you for this book!

This book is bursting with healthy recipes. At first I was a bit disappointed with the lack of pictures (just a few here and there), however the quantity of good quality recipes make up for this. Refreshingly some of the recipes are so easy to make (many from mainly store cupboard ingredients). They are also easy to adapt if you wanted to make any small changes. This is a great book to use if you are short of time and want something healthy, especially if you haven't planned ahead for a meal. There is also so lots of good information and advice for Anti-Inflammatory diets. It is a book with no airs and graces but provides more than you expect. Excellent thank you
