In this light-handed anti-inflammatory diet cookbook, integrative medicine proponent Weil (True Food) shares appealing recipes that are easy to prepare. Elegant appetizers (e.g., walnut-crusted quince and manchego bites, lemony hummus with dukkah-spiced pita chips) will satisfy all manner of eaters, as will worldly mains (e.g., broiled halibut with green harissa, roasted salmon topped with sake-glazed shiitake). Weil includes plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free recipes and steers clear of unconventional ingredients that appeared in his previous titles (e.g., sea buckthorn juice). Desserts such as triple chocolate brownies and coconut-lemon bars aren't guiltless, but they get a nutritional boost from olive oil and ground nuts.
VERDICT Weil's accessible recipes will attract flexitarians, especially those with a penchant for seafood, vegetables, whole grains, and olive oil.
