Are you guilty of thinking that the Autoimmune Protocol would be boring and bland? Well, think again! In her new cookbook, My Paleo / AIP Indian Adventure, Bethany Darwin works hard to adapt the traditional flavors of Indian cuisine to the AIP template. I am happy to confirm that she has succeeded brilliantly! With Bethany’s book, you can now enjoy simple, home-style Indian dishes – full of rich, deep flavor – to your heart’s content.
A Little Bit about Bethany
Bethany Darwin is the blogger behind Adventures in Partaking. Like so many of us, she uses the Autoimmune Protocol to keep her autoimmune conditions in check. For Bethany, it’s spondylarthritis and uveitis. She wrote My Paleo / AIP Indian Adventure first and foremost to share her unconditional love of Indian cuisine. Pre-diagnosis, she enjoyed hot and spicy foods, but as I am sure you can related to, her food choices had to change once she began her healing journey. Nightshades and non-AIP spices were the hardest to give up. She describes it as her “Spice Grief Journey.” One day she decided to bring back the heat and depth of flavor she was missing and My Paleo / AIP Indian Adventure was born.
Living in Abu Dhabi, UAE with her husband, Joseph, Bethany shares her amazing AIP-friendly recipes from around the world through her blog and her cookbooks (you might know her from her popular cookbook AIP Safari). Her recipes are quick, delicious, and simple enough for any home cook and the new cookbook is full of them! I don’t know about you, but I am very excited about this new addition to my AIP library!

I live in Southlake, TX. I’d love to win this book and make AIP Indian food at home. My husband loves Indian food and I usually go to Indian restaurants with him and watch him eat.
Hi! I’m currently living in New Hope, PA. Ha, I always struggle answering this question…depends what you want to know. I was born in Poland, grew up in NJ, moved around a lot and have landed in PA for now. Oh, I so miss Indian food. I love it and loved my trip to India. This book is going to bring Indian food back into my home!!! Thank you for the opportunity to win.
I love Indian food, being nightshade free, I would totally enjoy this ebook!
I’m from Hobart, Tasmania & I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a copy of your book as I’m SO bored with what I currently cook for myself on AIP! I need some tasty recipes to get myself excited about cooking AND eating again!
Ooohhhhh, I’m from South Australia I’d love to win this book because I never really had a chance to get into indian food pre-AIP and my partner didn’t like ‘heat’ in his curry so I tended to miss out…..but now that I do make a few separate meals occasionally I’d love to indulge! You never know, he’ll probably love the recipes too
I am from Ireland where is cold and windy and this cookbook would add little heat in my life
I live in Colorado, the Southwest US where nightshade spices are a food group unto themselves; and three years later I’m fairly sure I’m going to permanently mourn their absence in my kitchen…even as I don’t miss the painful consequences of eating even a bit of them. Thai, Middle Eastern and Indian cuisines are long time favorites with the deep layered flavors, and rich slow cooked main dishes.
I am from Oromocto, NB (Canada). I would love to win this cookbook because I love trying new foods and finding recipes that I want to make over and over.
Fighting an ugly autoimmune disease and would love to add Indian food.
Hmmmm….I don’t consider myself from just one place! Born in Louisiana, grew up in Egypt , the Bahamas, traveled Europe-one of the biggest perks? Learning about other culture’s cuisines!!
The giveaway is very considerate, thank you!
I’m based in the U.S. (North of Dallas), but have loved different cuisines from around the world for over 20+ years. i even did a series of ‘eat-out’ events for a local Meetup group a while back where we tried to visit every cuisine from A-Z here in the DFW area. We started with African (Ethiopian) and made it to Mexican (not Tex-Mex, there is a difference) , before I had to stop for personal reasons not health-related. Indian and most corn-based Mexican dishes is a couple of the things I miss most now while on the AIP lifestyle…
I would love to win this book! I love Indian Food but have been afraid to order it in restaurants not knowing when there might be something in one of the sauces that my trigger some symptoms! I would Really enjoy having some guidelines and feeling safe about it!
I’m from Ontario Canada (between Niagara Falls & Toronto). I’ve been AIP for approximately 7months due to a rare gastrointestinal disease that doctors know little about. I’ve been managing my disease through the AIP lifestyle and have seen some improvement. My loving and supportive husband is on board with me and partaking in AIP along with me (with his own deviations since he doesn’t need to be as strict). I’d LOVE to win this book as we used to enjoy Indian food almost every week .. it was a big favorite in our home and it’s rare that I can prepare anything super tasty that resembles real Indian food. I hope you’ll choose me so I can give back a little extra love in food form to my super supportive husband.
Many thanks to both of you for the generous contributions that you make to the AIP community. I don’t know how I ever could have even started on my AIP healing journey without all of the generously provided information from the experts that I’ve found online.

I live in Boulder, Colorado and miss Indian food! It would be wonderful to find recipes that were safe to cook at home and share with my family!

I am from Minnesota. I would like to try new flavors and new recipes.
I’m from Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. I LOVE Indian food and, silly me, assumed going on the AIP diet meant giving that up. So this cookbook is very exciting! I would love to obtain a copy!
Danielle
I’m from Alberta Canada, and I would love to try this recipes in this book to make delicious Indian food for my family, including my kids who are grain free and dairy free, my sister who is on the AIP, and myself and my husband who LOVE Indian food (I am also mostly gluten and dairy free).
I live in London U.K and have been AIP for four months. I was diagnosed with Sjogrens a year ago and after a nasty reaction to steroids I decided to take my life back and work at putting my symptoms into remission. Being AIP seems fairly tricky in the UK as we don’t have a lot of the products available in the states, so winning this prize would really make a huge difference. I’m not a great cook and i do miss my Saturday night takeaway, so please pick me so I can have fun in the kitchen and bring back the taste of my favourite Indian dishes.
Would like to have this new cookbook! The recipes sound great!
Denver, Colorado. Since being AIP and being sensitive to peppers, a big loss for me is not being able to eat at Indian restaurants. I really miss Saag Paneer and Tandoori Chicken.
I miss chicken tikka masala, please send help!
I live in Afton, Wyoming. (Hi neighbor!) I would love to have more diversity in the flavors of our food. Your book Simple French Paleo was a wonderful beginning to our flavor adventures!
Hello from Florida! I would love to be able to eat Indian food again. It was a favorite pre-AIP and one I haven’t experimented with in my own kitchen much.
Howdy from Pittsburgh, PA. What a great idea! My husband and I attend an Indian cooking class at our local library once a month. We’ve been exploring Indian cooking and also using my Instapot (which they recommended at class) Being able to make them AIP friendly would be awasome>
I’m from California and I MISS INDIAN food! One of my favs and haven’t had it in years! Would love to start adding it back into the rotation.
I like your name
Hi! I’m from Minnesota, USA and I’d love to win this cookbook because I grew up eating Indian food at my friends’ houses so now Indian food tastes like home – but I haven’t tasted it in months!
Also, I really believe ethnic food connects very deeply to the souls of the people in the culture that invented the foods (over uncounted generations). I love your focus on European /Provence/Belgian foods and now celebration of Indian!
Thank you Sophie and Bethany for giving us back our cultural foods via aip improvements!
I’m from Sun City, AZ and really miss Indian food! I’ve been AIP for a long 10 months now!
Pre AIP, one of my biggest treats was when we would go out for Indian food. I miss it so much and was so excited to hear about this cookbook. I would love to be able to enjoy Indian food again in a way that won’t hurt me.
Oops! I forgot to say that I am from New Brunswick Canada.
My name is Annika & I’m a proud Seattlite! I would love to win the Cookbook because I love Indian food and miss the aroma of Indian curries cooking in my home! The smell always takes me back to happy times filled with savory, spiced dishes covering a table surrounded by laughter and dear friends…soul food. I would love to share these recipes with my friends and family again! Thank you!
What a beautiful cookbook and treasure trove of new ideas!! Sure would like to win this one.
Would love to receive this book!!! I am new to AIP for about 7 months to help my daughter survive. It has been a gift, but still searching for new and interesting recipes.
I am in Cherry Hill, NJ! 🙂 Kathy
I LIVE in Red Banks, Mississippi and Jan 2018 I began the AIP journey again and my hubs is joining me. Giving up the spices has been difficult as we both love Indian foods! I had no idea this was even possible to enjoy again!!!
Great giveaway!!
I’m from the Netherlands. I have different diseases and in doubt if AIP would be something for me. I love cooking and when I will go on AIP (but also if I’m not) I would love to have soms inspiration!!
Not being able to live the life I wanted is not easy, but I really wish and pray that some things can heal (although other things can’t anymore)
Good Luch with this giveaway!

Hi! I live in Vancouver, WA, USA. I’ve been strictly AIP for a year and 4 months, and it’s become so boring. Sea salt, garlic and fresh herbs are wonderful seasonings, but I really need to find some flavorful dishes that I can share with friends who aren’t so restricted in their diets. Would love to try your Indian recipes!! Thank you!
I am from North Carolina. We were introduced to Indian cuisine after our friend returned from a business/mission trip. We also have dear friends in India. They love it when we cook Indian. Since my diagnoses of psoriasis and Hashimoto’s, etc, I haven’t been able to eat it. Our friend’s son is planning to attend university in our town and will be residing with us for two years. It would be so nice to be able to cook his favorite foods and at the same time enjoy them myself. Our Indian friends want us to come visit but I am so hesitant because I’m not sure what I’d eat! I would certainly take this cookbook along!
I live in London UK. Curry is our nations favourite dish so would love to win! It is also one of my boyfriends favourite dishes and he is super supportive of my aim journey so would be nice to cook him.something from the book

Not just for myself, but so that I can support my dear friend Jilly by cooking her delicious Indian meals which won’t make her sick.

I would so enjoy cooking from this very special cookbook!

Also i have a chronic Lyme disease diagnosis made in NewYork..as such diagnoses dont happen in ontario Canada. I’m trying to adhere to an aip eating plan and more flavourful food options would be so helpful. .hence the interest in the recipe book. EXHAUTIVE Traditional and no traditional interventions are not helping.
I am from New Mexico and New Mexican food has long been a comfort food; it is almost completely unadaptable to AIP). However Indian food is my other cuisine, but I am having a difficult time adapting it for AIP. I’ve been stuck really committing, but with some promising AIP recipes, good comfort food recipes, I know I can do it.
I live in the charlotte, NC area. I Just started the AIP Protocol 2 weeks ago and I’m absolutely overwhelmed. I LOVE Indian food! If I could add these recipes to my small collection of recipes I already have it would be wonderful!!

Hi, I’m Cindy from Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. I love Indian food and really miss it on AIP, so I would love a copy of this book to be able to cook it again!
I live in Tacoma, WA. A longtime fan of Indian food, AIP has meant giving up not only the spicy food of many cultures that I love, but also legumes and grains (my grief journey–I broke into tears, not of joy, when I discovered AIP). I’m also a yoga teacher, so Indian food is part of my adopted culture as well. I actually did a search one day specifically for AIP curry because I missed it so much.
I’m from South Carolina and would love nothing more than to be able to serve and enjoy Indian food in my home again. Prior to the AIP, it was a favorite for my husband and I…what a treat it would be to recreate some old favorites, but AIP this time!
I am from Victoria, BC Canada and would love a chance to win this book. I have ankylosis Spondylitis and have been following AIP for a year now. Indian food is the food I miss sooo much, masala, butter chicken…..I dream about these foods!
Live the French cooking book your write as well Sophie! I miss eating foods this t I love!
Thanks:)
I’m in Peterborough, UK. I’ve been doing AIP for seven months and am on stage four reintros. The one takeaway food I really miss is an Indian curry. I can replicate Thai style and Chinese but the Indian flavours don’t quite cut it. Also hoping this cool book gives some alternatives to coconut – I love it, but my husband doesn’t!
Hello! I’m from Chicago, IL. I would love to have a copy of the AIP Indian Cookbook because I love, love, LOVE Indian food, and have been missing the authentic flavors.

Hi, I’m from Gloucester MA USA and have been AIP for just a year – am finally getting a bit more comfortable trying some new recipes. I love Indian food but haven’t dared go out for it and would love a cookbook to help me figure out some new favorites!
I’m from Ohio and I miss Indian food so much since going AIP a year and a half ago. I drive past my favorite Indian restaurant a few times a week and whisper “I miss you so much.” haha.
I live about 50 miles west of Atlanta. I would love this resource because Indian food was my absolute favorite before AIP. I’ve done a little AIP Indian cooking, but I’d like more variety. Thanks for the chance to win this.
I live in Florida and am having a hard time with the AIP diet because I feel the food is so bland, so I would really like to win this cookbook. Thanks for the opportunity
Hi! I am pretty excited to hear about this book as I was unaware of an AIP Indian food book! I really enjoy Indian food and used to enjoy it a lot when I lived in the UK, I am now in Vancouver Canada and eat it when I can but as I rarely eat out anymore and cook almost exclusively all my meals at home, it would be very practical and truly helpful to own a copy of this book Thanks for considering me! XO
I live in Kansas City, KS and I MISS Indian food so much since going AIP!!
I’m from Satellite Beach, FL, and I began my AIP journey about 6 months ago. I’m a foodie who can’t live on baked chicken and some sort of steamed vegetable. I would love a copy of your book so I can add to my recipes with lots of flavor that are AIP compliant. I have been enjoying your French Paleo book. It’s clear you enjoy flavor too. Thank you for sharing great recipes that will also heal those of us dealing with autoimmune issues.
Hi Sophie. I was born and raised in the uk. Spent 3 years travelling after school then back to the homeland for a couple of years before marrying, having kids then hubby getting a posting to Dubai for what we thought was 18 months. Stayed there 4 years then a further 9 years in Qatar. As a result we became very versed with Indian/Arabic cuisine. And do I ever miss it! I’ve managed to AIPify a couple of our favourites and the kids still ask for an Arabic feast once a month. This cookbook would look so good on my cookbook shelf and would be very well used. Have lived in Australia now for 7 years and Aussies really do not know how to do Indian!
I’d really love to make AIP Indian food at home. I have your other cookbook and it is great
I’m Abby from PA, and I would love to try this cookbook! I love the fact that it has coconut-free recipes included. I have family with coconut allergies that follow AIP and it’s so hard to find AIP recipes that don’t utilize coconut all the time!
from Vermont usa and love Indian food!
I agree: This would be a wonderful addition to my AIP library!
I am from the Orlando, FL area but grew up in upstate NY. Indian food is my favorite for a lot of reasons. One is for the amazing flavor, Another is because it’s so full of antioxidant and medicinal spices. But the best reason is because it’s the kind of food my dad and I enjoy together. Whenever I visit him we take a night to go out and eat Indian food, I’ve cooked it for him a few times too. Indian food has a special tie to my health and my heart!
Hiya Sophie, I’m Emma, A Scottish Brit living in the Netherlands. When I was young we lived in Yorkshire, England where the Indian and Pakistan community was thriving. Every Yorkshire town has an Indian restaurant & takeaway. It was absolutely fantastic to be able to get Indian food whenever you wanted it. I fell in love with their curries, rice dishes, breads (oh the chapstick!), popadoms, pickles etc. Hmm hmmmm. I miss Indian food so much living here in the Netherlands that around 12 years ago my husband and I flew to Leeds for a weekend just so we could have a curry. Hence, I need you book. Lol.

Him I am Tina from South Africa, I would love to receive this book!!! I am new to AIP for about 4 months and still battling and searching for new and interesting recipes., as the first couple of months were so difficult adjusting to this new way of eating. I absolutely love spicy tasty food and have sooooo missed my curry dishes . Thank you for this awesome opportunity to win this book!
I live part time in maine and the other in montana. I LOVE indian food. It was a big part of my childhood. I miss it so much!
Je suis en banlieue de Montréal, au Québec. J’ADORE la cuisine indienne, ce serait trop fantastique pour moi de gagner ce livre de recettes ! 🙂 Bonne chance à moi 😉
I’m from NYC and have been struggling with thyroid and inflammatory problems since the 90’s and think this cookbook will help me make a much needed transition from preparing meals that add to my problems to preparing meals that heal!
I am from Northern Kentucky (similar to Cincinnati, but not and not claimed by the rest of KY) and I would love this cookbook bc my husband and I need as much help as we can get in AIP!
I’d love this cookbook because we love cooking Indian food but it can be overwhelming to navigate around foods to be avoided. I’d love to be able to make a feast for my mom who was recently diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, to show her how truly delicious an AIP meal can be.
Your blog inspired my daughter to change her eating habits and all of her thyroid problems went away and she lost 20 pounds in 6 weeks! Now, my other daughter and myself are starting the AIP diet. This cookbook would be a bonus! Thank you!
I’d love a free copy! My family has gone through so much on our health journey. New recipes are a blessing. And we love Indian food! Thank you. From Florida, USA
Hi. I’m from Hampshire, UK and have been following a Paleo/AIP diet for 2 years now. I absolutely adore Indian food and this has been off the cards since I changed to Paleo/AIP so I would absolutely LOVE to have a copy of this book! I am totally salivating at the thought of Rogan Josh 🙂 Thank you x
I’m Hethyr from Colorado Springs. I’ve been on AIP for two years and one of the cuisines I’ve missed the most is Indian. I was a real foodie before becoming sensitive to so many foods due to Lyme disease. I haven’t made much of an effort to make Indian food since I started AIP since because many Indian spices are not compliant. I’d love to bring Indian food back into my life!
I live in Oregon and there isn’t a lot of variety to the food here, and following AIP has limited my already limited options. This book would definitely help to increase the flavor index of my dishes!
Can’t wait to get this book!
I’m from Georgia and I love Indian food. Plus, I love trying out new recipes.
I live in rural Australia. I don’t do well with nightshades and I didn’t think I would ever be able to eat Indian food again. So excited to know this book exists and can’t wait to try some of the recipes
