Anti-inflammatory recipes for busy families
Anti-inflammatory eating looks a lot like Mediterranean cooking: plenty of vegetables, beans and whole grains, oily fish, olive oil, nuts, herbs and spices, and fewer ultra-processed foods. These recipes keep it simple enough for a weeknight.
What Gluten watches for: ultra-processed ingredients, added sugar and fried food.

Anti-inflammatory cooking questions
What makes a recipe anti-inflammatory?
There is no official definition. We use the Mediterranean pattern: vegetables, fruit, whole grains, legumes, oily fish, olive oil, nuts, herbs and spices.
Do these work with other restrictions?
Yes. Gluten checks each recipe against everyone in your household and adds swaps, for example for a nut allergy or AIP.
Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice. Recipes are checked against the restrictions you enter, but always check labels for allergens and cross-contact, and talk to your doctor or dietitian about your diet.
