Hi there - can you recommend recipes for arthritis sufferers? I am starting to look eliminating nightshades - could this be a new category perhaps?

Turmeric and ginger are both great for this. Anti-inflamatory and helps with knees. I add one or other (or both) to tea.

I throw a teaspoon or more of cinnamon in my smoothies in the morning. There are numerous articles online that mention cinnamon as alleviating pain from arthritis.

Turmeric is great for smoothies- good anti inflammatory.

Eliminating tomatoes from my diet? Not going to happen even if I limp a bit because of my bad knees.

Had no idea sour cherries were helpful for arthritis - though given my knees, I probably should - but I can rec Sour Cherry Soup, as my Hungarian grandmother made. This 'reads' similar to her recipe, from Joan Nathan, who's very dependable - though my grandmother served it cold in the summer: http://joannathan.com/cold-sour-cherry-soup/ Tarragon or dill also work well. (Looks pretty anemic in the photo - much prettier in person.)

Many blogs and websites already focus on these recipes.
Maybe do a search and see if they are what you want.

Cherry pie (we always start with dessert)- sour cherries, if you can find any, are said to be quite helpful; don't remember the significant chemical, however.

Thanks for dessert, love a sour cherry and didn't know about that. Would Food52 consider running a competition for this = Non Nightshade Recipes - could be popular?

You're welcome- cooks just wanna have fun, and a question like that is bound to land you a lot of raw shredded kale and stinging nettles boiled in wheat grass juice and that sort of stuff.
