Anti-Inflammatory

Anti-inflammatory eating is a whole-foods style of cooking that borrows heavily from the Mediterranean table: plenty of vegetables and fruit, fatty fish like salmon, beans, olive oil and avocado, herbs, garlic and spices, and very little processed food, refined sugar or deep-fried anything. There isn’t one official set of rules. It’s a pattern of eating many people choose for overall wellness.

Our OurCheff private chefs cook this way for Southwest Florida clients who want food that feels good to eat and still tastes like a treat. Gulf seafood, citrus and fresh herbs make it easy here. We build plates around fish or slow-cooked meat, colorful vegetables and good olive oil, and we skip the shortcuts like jarred sauces and seed-oil frying.

A recipe is CheffApproved in this category when it’s made from whole, minimally processed ingredients, with no refined flour or added sugar. It should lean on fish, vegetables, beans, olive oil or avocado, and it has to be genuinely delicious. Try our Mediterranean Baked Cod with White Beans, Egg-Free AIP Salmon Cakes or AIP Beef and Butternut Squash Stew.
