During the first few months of 2020, Michael Symon religiously posted Symon Dinners on Instagram every day to help his fans keep pantry-inspired meals fun and varied. The response was so great and his followership so engaged that creating a cookbook of simple weekday breakfasts, lunches, and dinners became a priority for him. In Fix It with Food: Every Meal Easy, Michael combines simple dishes for busy weekdays and meals that address autoimmune triggers for a collection of 120+ health-supportive recipes.
The chapters are divided by what trigger you're avoiding, including No Meat, No Dairy, and No Flour. If you're not sure what your food triggers are, the ten-day reset will help you figure out which foods to avoid. After the reset, Michael offers guidance about how to reintegrate foods into your routine. Through fan feedback, Michael discovered that most people using his first book didn't need four servings--most wanted just enough for two meals, so in Every Meal Easy, all of the main recipes yield two meals or enough for one meal plus leftovers. And since sometimes you have a crowd to cook for, Michael offers helpful information regarding how to double recipes when needed. Readers will also find a list of his favorite 30 anti-inflammatory friendly ingredients to keep in stock all the time and a master ingredient substitution list, so if you don't have kale or black beans on hand, you can swap in whatever you have in your fridge or pantry.
With Michael's encouraging voice and flexible recipes, Fix It with Food: Every Meal Easy is a must-have for anyone who is looking to feel better without compromising eating well.
Fix It with Food: Every Meal Easy: Simple and Delicious Recipes for Anyone with Autoimmune Issues and Inflammation: A Cookbook Reviews

This is a fantastic cookbook. So many wonderful, easy recipes to pick from. The pictures are outstanding. The ingredients are all simple easy to find, You may have most in your pantry already. I highly recommend this cookbook.

Michael Symon is one of my favorite tv chefs. This cookbook is filled with great recipes, all targeted at reducing inflammation caused by autoimmune diseases. While I don’t have those issues, I look forward to trying many of these recipes like the eggplant Parmesan and the coffee chocolate chip blondies.

Some great recipes!
-
Great recipes and made for two! Love the substitution list, very helpful. Easy to make and very yummy! :-))

Chef Symon has done it again, continuing with this sequel to Fix it with Food. He gets personal and real with his struggle with food and how it effects him physically. I just love Michael Simon, and I don’t say that because he is from Cleveland. He is genuine.
If you struggle physically and with pain, this, and the first book are what you need. -
I used his first Fix it with Food program last year and discovered a few foods that were triggering joint pain.
This version includes a lot of new recipes and an expanded explanation on how to add back in foods. That's good. I had to make up my own version of that last year (which is pretty close to what he recommends)
My only two additions to this would be to first also try eliminating nightshades. I found out by accident that they are a huge trigger for me. He does not eliminate them during the 10 day reset but if I were you, I would. (Google what all is a nightshade to cover your bases, potato is the one that trips most people up)
The second would be when adding back in meat, don't be broad stroked. You might not be able to eat chicken but able to eat beef or vice versa. Be very intentional when adding in foods.
If you have joint pain I highly recommend seeing if the foods you eat are making it worse. I'm almost a year in to eating differently and the improvement in my health has been AMAZING. -
So this is a great book for anyone with autoimmune or inflammation. There are a lot of recipes once you figure out your triggers. My big issue is the RESET phase. I understand why it needs to be done, but for anyone who feeds a family this won't work. My kids and husband will not eat much of anything in it. I'm already way too busy and stressed out with food to try that part. This is the problem with a lot of these reset type food eating plans, they do not account for families. I don't have the time or effort to make two different meals every day, multiple times a day.
I've had a few recipes from the RESET and they are good for me during breakfast and lunches, but not sustainable long-term. The book itself is well written. You can easily understand why this method helped Michael and why it may help you. It's set up well and the pictures are beautiful.
I'll end up adding some of these recipes into my daily life, but unfortunately can't follow the strict RESET plan. -
As a person who suffers with inflammation I’ve tried numerous blog recipes and random Pinterest links that are somewhat reliable as to how they will turn out or taste. Luckily over the years I’ve learned some tricks but this book should be the bible of tricks. Im really pleased to have such a great chef create a cookbook I can use everyday and the food tastes amazing, is easy to make and follow. Sometimes simplicity, flavor, and savored moderation still make you enjoy life at the table more than an elaborate feast ever did.

This book has a great format with well thought out recipe plans. The recipes are nicely photographed with good comments and suggestions for substitutions. The focus on reintroduction with respect for individual triggers is an essential part of this type of food plan.
Huge error on page 66 - Flair-up is not a term. It’s FLARE-UP. Shameful this wasn’t corrected. -
Unless you have health issues, this cookbook probably isn’t for you. The 10 day reset is very restrictive and focuses on vegetables, eggs and grains. When proteins and gluten get reintroduced, the recipes improve. It’s not a cookbook I’d keep on my shelves but could be a valuable one for someone.

I love Michael for his work on Restaurant industry and for uplifting Cleveland's hospitality industry. I didn't know he suffers from auto-immune disease.
This book is a about developing a lifestyle to alleviate such conditions (this is not a medical disclaimer) and a food-driven approach. -
Lot's of recipes for things I am eating right now ---cabbage, cauliflower, avocados, blueberries, zucchini, and 25 other items.
I definitely would make several recipes in the book, so it's on my to-purchase-later list. -
I don't have any autoimmune issues or food allergies, but I am interested in cooking with whole, unprocessed ingredients, and Michael Symon delivers in spades. Since I don't have any dairy issues, you're never going to sell me on faux cheese. Sorry, not sorry.
-
Cannot wait to cook through this. Love this idea.
-
So many great recipes, I think I’m going to end up buying this one!
-
Ok this is an easy, helpful plan and I like how it is set up with the recipes.
-
Great photographs, great recipes. Makes me ponder what would you DO to feel better?
-
I'm not the target audience for the book with any kind of medical need for the food. But did like looking at the recipes that were pretty easy
-
Cindy Wilson recommended. Discusses the need for a healthy diet to combat what ails old people, with some good recipes.
-
Terrific, very helpful and loved the recipes. Fan of Chef Symon's from watching him on various Food Network shows.
