Food brings us together. It creates a space for gathering around a table, laughing together, sharing memories, and building new ones. Chef Shannon Berends wants everyone to enjoy that experience, especially after discovering early in her career the lack of fresh, innovative, and delicious recipes for those with dietary restrictions. Thus, The Anti-Inflammatory Cookbook was born, a collection of gourmet autoimmune- friendly and anti-inflammatory dishes designed to give everyone a seat at the table.
