Many folks get intimidated with the thought of elimination diets. They think it would be too restrictive and boring. They worry that they might never get to enjoy a meal again. And they would be so wrong! The AIP diet, even though it eliminates all foods with any kind of allergenic potential like dairy, gluten, soy, nightshades, grains and refined sugar, is all about nourishing and nutrient dense foods. If you see all the different AIP recipes that I and my fellow AIP bloggers have been posting over the years, you will realize that you don’t need to feel deprived when you are on the Autoimmune Paleo (AIP) diet.
And now there is one more brand new resource for folks on AIP which is guaranteed to take any boredom out of AIP ! ‘The Global Paleo AIP cookbook’, is a community ecookbook which is the brainchild of Bethany Darwin of Adventures in Partaking and has recipes from all over the world! This ebook is a treasure and an absolute treat! There is so much variety in the recipes -From Indian Fish Cutlets to Argentinian Carne Picada to an Irish Stew and Bao Bing -a Chinese dessert! Whoa that’s exciting right? Scroll down below to get the recipe for ‘Indian fish cutlets’ that will give you an idea of all the exciting recipes in this book.
Some stats about this book:
- It has a total of 122 recipes – all 100% AIP compliant!
- 18 bloggers including yours truly ( 🙂 ), contributed recipes to this book. All of us contributors have experience eating around the world (real subject matter experts) and are all using AIP to control their various autoimmune conditions.

Interesting read Indu. I make those same fish cutlets, but usually with some regular potatoes, I like the idea of the white sweet potatoes. I make them with canned mackerel and salmon, also tuna like you have up above. Yumm!
yes Loretta these are an AIP version of those same cutlets! I bet yours are very yummy! 🙂
