I flipped through the recipes and read a little bit of the introduction. Many of the recipes look tasty, but I haven't tried any of them yet. Not all of the recipes conform exactly to the foods allowed by "The Plant Paradox" book. Some have added sugar (or use fruit that aren't allowed). Others don't specify the meat has to be 100% grass-fed and the poultry and eggs have to be 100% free-range. Also, the fruit and veggies should be organic, but that's not mentioned. However, I think these recipes could be a good start toward a less inflammatory diet.
