So, has it helped my husband with his inflammation issues? It sure has. He has bad shoulder issues and following this diet has given him a greater range of motion in the shoulder and a lot less pain throughout the day. For me, I’ve discovered that having less dairy (can anyone say cheese please!) has helped me feel less bloated and I’ve lost a little weight.
Here are my top pros & cons.
Pros:
Gluten free
Easy recipes that don’t involve a lot of hard to find ingredients and are quick to make
The book is well laid out
High hit-rate of great tasting recipes
Includes both a recipe index and a full index
Priced right
Cons:
Wish it came in a spiral bound version (but mine has held up very well so far)
There are some pictures but could have included more
A few of the breakfast recipes were bland, so stick to the ones you try that you like

Thanks very much for a great resource to help us get started.
The format is not as advertised, though. In the Amazon listing, there were photos of recipe pages with pictures of ingredients for the recipe in the margins. I am a very visual person, and this omission makes this book infinitely less usable to me. I would not have bought it if I had known the recipes had no pictures.
The quality of the printing is also not great, it looks like someone printed this out on their inkjet at home. Overall, I'm going to keep it, but I'll be looking for another cookbook in the meantime.
*Update: the formatting discrepancy was Amazon's fault. They have photos of recipe pages from "The Easy Anti-inflammatory Diet." If you look closely at the bottom of the recipe pages, it says The Easy Anti-inflammatory Diet, and you can also see these same photos in the product description of this book.
