Praise for The Migraine Relief Plan Cookbook
“Much useful information is packed upfront, from the basics (food,
sleep, exercise) to the prevailing science, as well as lists of
what to eat and what to avoid, a shopping guide, and a monthly
calendar to acclimate to the changes she advocates. Then the
dishes, freely borrowed and adapted from others: breakfast hash,
wild game chili, ratatouille, 'faux' guacamole (substituting squash
for avocado), sorbet, fudge. Her inclusion of a 'budget-friendly'
indicator, three 'progressive cooking' recipes that adapt well to
leftovers, and quotes from members of the medical community help
this stand out.” —Booklist
"Good nutrition is an important part of lifestyle changes, which
can improve headache disorders. Stephanie Weaver provides
common-sense advice and fixable, straightforward recipes to
optimize every meal and snack. Using her book can enhance dietary
excellence and the lifestyle behaviors useful in headache
management.” —Dr. Stewart Tepper, Director, Dartmouth Headache
Center
“Stephanie Weaver was diagnosed with migraines at the age of 53.
When she learned that over 1 billion people worldwide suffer from
these debilitating headaches, she decided to write this book and
help others focus their diet on foods that can reduce migraines.
The recipes are thoroughly appealing to anyone and highly
approachable. This book is a must for any migraine
sufferer.” —Kathy Gunst, cookbook author and Resident Chef of
NPR’s Here and Now
“Stephanie has done it again with The Migraine Relief Plan
Cookbook, her follow-up to The Migraine Relief Plan. This
collection of 100+ anti-inflammatory, migraine-friendly recipes
displays the same attention to detail and painstaking research we
saw in her first book, offering a varied and comprehensive list of
recipes from breakfast to delectable desserts. Dishes hail from a
diversity of cuisines, including those from North America, Spain,
Italy, Japan, France, Lebanon, India, Mexico, Greece, and more. I
daresay you won’t find a better approach or more delicious
migraine-friendly recipes anywhere. If you suffer from migraines or
know someone who does, Stephanie’s books are the only ones you need
on your bookshelf.” —Ricki Heller, PhD, R.H.N., author
of Living Candida Free

addressing an array of additional dietary needs, this follow-up
cookbook to The Migraine Relief Plan is an excellent and
much-needed part of the migraine wellness toolkit.” —Jeanne
