Eating for both nutrient density and the Autoimmune Protocol has never been so easy thanks to The Nutrient-Dense Kitchen! You might be surprised to discover exactly how difficult it is to reach nutrient sufficiency eating a modern diet. While our food system is flooded with high-energy foods, these products only serve to fill us up and offer close to nothing in the way of true nourishment. An adequate supply of nutrients--vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, fatty acids, and fibers, to name a few--are needed by the body to perform countless functions and provide essential structure. Nutrient density in the diet impacts both the outcome of chronic illness and the prevention of future disease. In The Nutrient-Dense Kitchen , Mickey teaches you everything you need to know about eating like a "nutrivore." You'll start with a comprehensive tour of nutrients that are essential for both optimal health and deep healing, with handy charts to help you identify which foods contain them in varying amounts. You'll also get an overview of Autoimmune Protocol details, some creative ideas for affordably sourcing the highest-quality and most nutrient-dense ingredients, and tips for setting up your kitchen to cook whole foods. The centerpiece of The Nutrient-Dense Kitchen is Mickey's impressive collection of flavorful, approachable recipes that comply with the strictest phase of the Autoimmune Protocol--no grains, legumes, eggs, dairy, nuts, seeds, or nightshades. If you have further eating restrictions, a handy chart helps you locate the recipes that are low-FODMAP, coconut-free, or low-carb/ketogenic. If you are pressed for time, the same chart will help you identify recipes that take 45-minutes or less to prepare, can be made in your Instant Pot(R), or only use one cooking vessel for easy cleanup. In addition to the recipes you'll find five sets of meal plans and shopping lists to quick-start your approach to eating for nutrient density. The seasonal meal plans focus on ingredients that are at their peak ripeness and availability in the spring or fall seasons, while the budget meal plan incorporates recipes with an eye for affordability. For those who are interested in deep healing, the "nutrivore" meal plan incorporates only recipes that sit at the top of the nutrient density spectrum. Lastly, for those embarking on this journey as a couple, the two-person meal plan accounts for larger servings while still only requiring one cooking session per day. If you are looking for a practical, approachable resource for the Autoimmune Protocol that places nutrient density at the core, look no further than The Nutrient-Dense Kitchen . Mickey's recipes and guidance help you set yourself up for success without sacrificing time or flavor! Review: Great Book & Recipes! - Includes quick, easy and healthy one-pot meals for everyone, not just those with autoimmune issues - 10/10 from us! Review: Beautiful recipes - I'd been doing Wahls protocol for a few months but it wasn't helping so I've recently switched to more of the AIP paleo approach. I am so hooked on this cookbook. The recipes are beautiful and tasty with minimal "fancy" ingredients. Mickey is so talented. Coming from Wahls, where there recipes are just very health focused, but don't always make sense to the palette (such as smoothies with a side of liver) this is such a treat. I do not feel at all restricted.

Lots of new recipes to try
May be some difficulty sourcing some ingredients in Ireland so extra research for substitutes required. But overall great variety & choice in book!

Buy this book, it’s a gem!
I have followed Trescott’s AIP protocol since the release of her first book in 2014, so I was anxious to order her latest offering. Her positive approach of “nutrient dense” foods appeals to me, as I was raised by an Adele Davis “Let’s Eat Right” aficionado in the 60s and 70s, with an overlay of Dr. Bieler‘s “Food Is Your Best Medicine”. Restrictions and long lists of “don’ts” can be tiresome, and I believe food is one of our great resources and a joy. I was not disappointed with her latest release as it is as visually beautiful as it is well organized. Not only does she include her basic, go-to standards like bone broth and no-mato sauce, but she treats us to many more adventures I had not seen in other AIP books. I got recipe testing immediately, and the horseradish sauce became an instant staple, along with creamy mushroom soup and her famous bacon-liver pate. The gorgeous fish curry soup that dons the cover was my first foray, and I was not disappointed. When my son complained about the bitter taste of turnip, I quickly substituted sweet potato to excellent effect. The broad range of items, including appetizers, smoothies, entrees divided into meat type, and lovely not-too-sweet desserts has kept me busy. While no single cookbook can (or ever has!) address every palate or sensitivity, I appreciate the way Trescott offers substitutions and encourages readers to experiment with recipes. What puts this book over the top are it’s extensive resources, such as 5 different meal plans with shopping lists, nutrient source tables, and clear instructions designed to inform and empower the reader. Thank you!

The Final Verdict
If you are diagnosed with an autoimmune disease (like Hashimoto's, Celiac, Crohn's, or Rheumatoid Arthritis) and want to try the Autoimmune Protocol, this book should be your bible. It removes the guesswork from the diet, provides genuine culinary inspiration, and teaches you how to feed your body for deep cellular recovery. It is well worth the investment for both beginners and veteran AIP followers looking to refresh their meal rotation.
