Product Description
Ayurvedic books tell us what food items are good for different constitutions, but without the knowledge of how to cook Ayurvedically, and without specific recipes, such information remains limited. This boo fills this need very well. Over 250 taste-tested recipes are specifically designed to balance each constitution, with an emphasis on simplicity, ease and sound nutrition. It is a considerable task to write a cookbook that can be used for healing purposes Amadea Morningstar has worked diligently, as the scope of this book indicates, ansd Urmila Desai adds her recipes and specific knowledge of human cooking.

Format:Paperback
Covering the ancient science of Ayurvedism in one book and relating that science to your daily menu is no easy task. Yet this book does so quite well, and is appropriate for the beginner or the expert. If you know very little, you can learn how to determine your own dosha and begin assessing what foods are best for you. If you are beyond that, you will benefit from the many insights offered in a wide range of topics including seasonal and daily diets, nutrition, ingredients, and of course the recipes. As a chef with an interest in healthful cuisines, I must admit that some of the recipes are a bit bland. However, as the book points out, our taste buds have become accustomed to excessive salt and these recipes allow you to experience the pure flavors of the ingredients. Some recipes are completely delicious, such as Spicy Cumin Eggplant or Cream of Greens Soup. Another benefit of this book is that most of the ingredients are easy to find, which can be a problem for American cooks trying to make Indian food.

I have been really pleased with the Ayurvedic Cookbook! It gives an excellent introduction into Ayurvedic nutritional theory, along with a self-exam so that you may determine your Dosha. There is a great index in the back which lists all foods according to their Dosha which makes menu planning easier. For the most part, the recipes are tasty and easy to prepare. You may find it difficult, however to locate some of the unique Indian spices and food items, especially if you are not living in a large metropolitan area. I did not care for some of the recipes as they were a little strange to my taste, but most were excellent!

Format:Paperback
I thoroughly recommend this book whether you're into Ayurveda or are just a vegetarian looking for tasty recipes. The introductory chapter on Ayurveda is also concise and informative. However, if you're expecting 'normal' curry recipes, choose another book as the flavours here are more subtle than the average modern palate is used to.
