For Isolde Frost, weekends used to mean takeout menus and late brunches. “I loved the comfort of it,” she says. “But by Sunday night, I’d always feel groggy and bloated.”
She didn’t want to give up the joy of relaxed weekend meals—but she knew her body needed something different. That’s when she started experimenting with anti-inflammatory recipes that felt cozy but still clean.

On Saturday mornings, she’d make turmeric-spiced oats with a splash of almond milk and berries—warm, earthy, and soothing. For lunch, it might be a grain bowl with roasted sweet potatoes, arugula, and tahini. And dinner? A simple stew with garlic, lentils, ginger, and kale. “It was food that didn’t weigh me down,” Isolde says. “But it still felt like a treat.”
Sundays became her reset ritual. She’d cook at a slower pace, letting the kitchen fill with the scent of fresh herbs and spices. Chopping veggies became meditative, and sipping warm lemon water while she waited for things to simmer became her small act of self-care.
One weekend led to another, and soon it became a routine she looked forward to. “I stopped seeing food as something I had to ‘clean up’ after,” she reflects. “Now it’s part of how I recover, recharge, and reconnect with myself.”
For Isolde, anti-inflammatory cooking isn’t about restriction. It’s about nourishment—in every sense of the word.
