Eating an anti-inflammatory "diet" you should focus your dishes on vegetables, fruits, some spices, nuts, and omega-3 fats.

Here are some basic guidelines you should follow for an anti-inflammatory "diet":

Consume plenty of vegetables and fruits. Generally speaking, this goes along with the anti-inflammatory principle of sticking to foods that are as close to their natural states as possible.
Consume whole grains, as opposed to refined carbohydrates like pasta, white bread, and white rice.
Consume foods rich in omega-3 fats, like flaxseeds, chia seeds, and fish oil.
Season foods with anti-inflammatory herbs and spices like cloves, cinnamon, turmeric, rosemary, ginger, sage, and thyme.
Make oily fish your primary protein.
Consume alcohol, processed meat, and dairy rarely.
Avoid processed foods and refined sugars.
Cut out trans fats completely.
Like the Mediterranean diet (which is a type of anti-inflammatory diet), an anti-inflammatory eating pattern works best when coupled with a healthy lifestyle. Lifestyle factors that can cause inflammation include poor sleep, high stress, lack of movement, smoking, and long-term use of antibiotics and medications.
