Nutrient Density

My Prune and Orange Cookies are completely free of eggs, grains, dairy, refined sugar, nuts or seeds and yet they taste SO good! It’s hard to believe something so simple can satisfy your urge for a sweet treat and still be 100% AIP compliant!

I refer to this Easy Fish Salad Slaw as my ‘Eat More Fish, Woman’ salad. It’s my super-speedy solution to eating more nutrient-rich fish quickly, easily and tastily! It’s a bit of an obsession at the moment…

My wee Kale Sauce number is absolutely superKALEYfragilistic! It’s a great way to add extra nutrient density to your plate and it also happens to be free of anything bad. Zhush up simply grilled fish or chicken or add it to a bowl of soup… YUM!

This chilled lettuce soup is the perfect antidote to the SUPER hot temperatures that have been blasting Sydney already this summer. And, it’s a great way to get more folate-rich leafy greens into your tum, too.

I’ve got your AIP Christmas recipes covered with this lot. How to AIP-ise and remove the stress from your Christmas cooking. AIP muggles won’t even know!

Christmas Mince Apple Crumble Tart is the magical result of what happens when you combine an apple crumble with a Christmas mince tart. Two evocative puds in one luscious – and AIP friendly – package. YUMMO!

This rosemary-infused beet relish is the perfect addition to sliced meats (Christmas ham, anyone?) and frittatas. And, it’s a good way to get more gut-healthy beets in, too. No fancy ingredients required!

Easy Christmas Kraut is the perfect festive addition to your holiday table. Festive and fruity with a little bit of spice. It’s simply YUM! (Makes for great Chrissie pressies, too)

One of my best-ever recipes, these herbed slow-cooked lamb shanks are RIDICULOUSLY GOOD! So good that you’ll want to make it again and again. And, it freezes beautifully! So good!

This LAMBtastic Shepherd’s pie with crispy leeks is a very tasty AIP=-friendly take on the original (mashed cauliflower instead of potatoes). It has oodles of vegetables and it’s a great way to use up leftover lamb AND gravy! YUM!

Perfectly Pumpkin Spice Gummies. Yep – I succumbed to the pressure of the pumpkin! This baby was created because I wanted to see what the fuss is about. A healthy pumpkin sweet treat that’s both good for your gut and one tastes great, too!

If you have never tried braised broccoli before, you are in for a treat. It is AMAZING and will add another dimension to your broccoli recipe repertoire. Mellow and buttery, this number is great for a crowd.

Onion Jam is one of those secret little numbers that will sexy up the blandest of meals. It’s surprisingly easy to make and my version is also AIP-friendly. I’m pretty sure that once you’ve tried this, you’ll always want to have a jar in your fridge…

This oxtail recipe is not only outrageously good, but no nightshades are harmed when you make it (tomato-free, baby!) and it makes enough to feed a small army. Seriously good!

I’m staging a gummies renaissance! Full of gut-healing gelatine and SUPER easy to whip up, early in my AIP caper I was a bit of a gummies-making queen! It’s time to bring back the gummy!

This is a soup from my childhood. It’s a soup I have reconfigured nutrient-dense, low carb’ and AIP-friendly broth that I am fond of having for breakfast – especially when I am off the coffee. So I’ve christened it my AIP Reset soup!

This totally terrific tonnato is stand at your kitchen bench and gobble it up with a spoon-worthy! It’s also about the sexiest thing I can think of to make with a can of tuna! I love this stuff!

This ridiculously good carrot and thyme mash takes carrots to a whole new level. It’s so good! The secret is in the roasting (and the addition of just a hint of honey)

When I was a child, Mum used to prepare a less AIP-friendly version of this SUPER simple carrot salad. This is my healthy twist on the original and it’s surprisingly more-ish!

Six years after first being published, this bloody brilliant braised beef cheeks recipe continues to be one of the most popular in my collection. Now that the weather is well and truly turned wintery here in Sydney, David and I have been enjoying this old favourite.

I’m not kidding when I tell you that I think this is the best root vegetable soup in the world. It is so good. An AIP-version of the Graham Kerr classic, this soup is the soup of my childhood. IO’ve adapted it to make it AIUP-friendly and I know it will become a family favourite.

My SECRET SQUIRREL Nutty Granola recipe will give you the feeling you’re eating yummy, toasted, decadent granola without the gluten, dairy, or even oats. It’s free of nasties (additives and preservatives) and can easily be made sugar-free, too. I think this will become a favourite!

How to activate your nuts: Making a habit of soaking your raw nuts and seeds increases their vitamin and mineral content and makes them easier for us to absorb. In other words – more nutrient-dense. Why wouldn’t you?

So many AIP pâté recipes contain apple… Well, not this one! This is my Chicken liver pate with pear and sage. It’s both dairy-free and coconut-free.
You know eating liver is good for you and, it is the most nutrient-dense way to get more vitamin A into your diet fast.

First published in 2015, this is my newly updated AIP liver recipe round up. Consistently one of the most popular posts on joannafrankham.com, this baby is your one-stop repository for all things liver recipe-related.
You know you should be eating more liver, don’t you?

So many of my recipes are inspired by my mum. This Cheats Salmon Rillettes number is an AIP-version of her rocking salmon dip that she still whips up when we’re having drinky-poos… It tastes #bloodyfabulous and is chock-full of nutrient goodness!

Another recipe from my mate, Emma – and this is a doozy!
These sizzlin’ scallops are served on a bed of citrus-dressed zoodles. It’s an unbelievably easy and tasty way to serve yourself a super-healthy meal!

One of my favourite hobbies is to ferment my vegetables. And it turns out it’s a GREAT choice in a hobby because the edible end result is so good for you. And, it’s economical and seasonal and sustainable – and all those other things that a thinking AIPer is interested in. Onwards!

I first shared how to ferment your vegetables back in October 2015! I’m still using this method to make seriously nutrient-dense and gut-friendly probiotic-filled fermented veggies. They taste amazing and are so good for you!

Want a nutrient-dense slaw number that checks all the right boxes when it comes to taste and eating the rainbow and batch cooking (cooking once to eat twice) and all that good stuff + one that all the family will enjoy? THIS is that baby.
It’s REALLY good for you and REALLY tasty, too!

I’ve been cooking this slow-cooked pork number recently and it is so good!
Slow-cooked pork is one of those ridiculously easy things to whip up, yet it always pleases. Incredibly versatile and great for leftovers. It’s is YUM!

This Rhubarb and Apple Crumble is sinfully good. With a ginger and coconut topping, it is both healthy and allergy-friendly. 100% AIP elimination-friendly, I’d be willing to bet your AIP muggle-mates won’t even know you’re feeding them healthy food!

My Jamie Oliver-inspired four hour lamb really is sublime. It is so ridiculously easy to prepare but it tastes amazing. This is the thing I cook most often.

Broccoli Sauce is a revelation. Slowly braised over low heat makes the flavours incredibly mellow. This baby is a great nightshade-free alternative to tomatoes and broccoli is chock-full of vitamin C – a great immune fighter

Another of my mate, Em’s recipes from our time together at Conscious Autoimmunity.
Emma thinks this is her best recipe creation ever! It’s certainly one of the most requested. Perfect for when you’re short on time but after something über nutrient-dense and tasty.

Another offering from my good mate, Emma (formerly of The Bacon Mom) – speedy Instant Pot Beef Bourguignon!

Em’s special sauce is to create tasty, hearty and nutrient-dense fare, fast! She doesn’t have time to pfaff around. This is one of her most asked-for recipes!

This is my go-to WORLD FAMOUS Chicken Soup when I need a BIG hit of nutrient density. It’s got all the goodness of your Mum’s (or even your Nan’s) chicken soup with the added bonus of some extra goodies to help fight inflammation.

This is also the soup I make fror friends who need a pick-me-up, too.

First published back in mid-2016, this Turmeric Latte number is having a revival at my place as I try to calm a recent flare.

It will have you feeling like you’re indulging. Especially if you’re off coffee and keen to give your wee adrenals a break. And, it’s one of the consistently most popular recipes on my site!

The ginger is warming and the turmeric has oodles of anti-inflammatory benefits. Just perfect for when you need a little pause in your day…

This ALL THE LEAFY GREENS Frittata-ta-ta-ta-ta is chock-full of good stuff.
I created this baby as part of my quest to further up my nutrient density this year. If you have successfully reintroduced eggs back into your life, you will love it. I promise!

Slow Cooked Pork Carnitas with Cranberry Relish are so good! These babies are 100% AIP friendly and so easy to whip up for a crowd. This recipe is from my super-good mate, Emma and I know you’re going to love it. It’s so easy to prepare.

I’m a smidge proud of this VERY MERRY Raspberry Glazed Ham number. It’s 100% AIP-friendly…

These AMAZING Avocado and Mackerel ‘Boats’ come to you care of my lovely AIP mate,…

I’m on a mission to increase the amount of seafood in my diet. Today’s nutrient-dense number is my RESTORATIVE Roasted Butternut Pumpkin Soup with Scallops.

It’s a banging good soup all on its own, and then it can be further elevated to something really special with the addition of scallops…

When I was a girl growing up in New Zealand, my Dad used to make us porridge (or oatmeal) in the winter time. He’d serve it with brown sugar and cream, and a glass of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice made from the old grapefruit tree in the garden.

These days, I can’t eat oats. Regular porridge is off the table. Enter my Chai Spiced Norridge – all the tummy-warming goodness of porridge without the actual oats! It is seriously good!

There is something reassuring about knowing a recipe you’re about to try for the first time works because it comes recommended by someone who makes it frequently, don’t you think?

This listicle is 100% AIP-friendly. All of the recipes are bloody good. All of them are recipes I have on repeat. And, all of them are from fellow bloggers who know their shizzle when it comes to healthy food with great flavour!

My promised fermented garlic paste number is here! This baby is full of probiotic goodness and you will not believe what a great kitchen hack it is!

And, if you’ve never made your own fermented garlic paste before – it’s bloody fabulous. I highly recommend you add this to your wholefood arsenal…

Just because you’re on a restricted diet doesn’t mean you can’t indulge a little…

I’ve rounded up some of my favourite-looking recipes from around the traps. These are all recipes that tickle MY fancy. I hope they tickle yours, too!

  I shared this play on a Peter Gordon-inspired Kale and Preserved Lemon Couscous recipe…

We’ve been having a long, hot and humid summer. I’ve been making a LOT of salads. Because, that’s what you do when you want to ensure your nutrient density is up, even when it’s too hot to spend time in the kitchen.

This is my no frills, ‘go to’ salad dressing. I whip it up in no time, it’s tastes great and it is completely free of any nasties.

Give it a go. It may become YOUR no frills, ‘go to’ salad dressing, too!

I’m a fan of flavours umami. But – not everyone is, I know… This pomegranate infused tapenade recipe is a delicious way to make this traditional olive spread a little more widely accessible and a smidge sweeter… It also happens to be REALLY good for you!

This is my AIP furikake take on the intensely umami flavoured traditional Japanese sprinkle, loaded with omega-3s and a great way to add nutrient density
