USER REVIEWS
"I get the feeling that this book gives you a good start in regards to Ayurveda. This book has a lot of information and great recipes that are broken down into Vata, Pitta & Kapha. If you're looking at a recipe for Pitta and you're a Kapha, it tells you at the end of the recipe what you can substitute OR if you should avoid it. This book also gives you Dual-Dosha recommendations.
It's easy to read and the beginning gives you a good overview of what you should know. I tend to be easily overwhelmed by too much information when starting something new. This book doesn't have that effect on me. I also like pictures in my cookbooks. I like to know how it should look if I've not made it before. I'm starting off with this book knowing there's a lot more to get into if I want.

"This is a beautifully crafted, comprehensive guide to the ancient science of ayurveda. You can tell that a lot of care went into the creation of this book. It makes a perfect introduction to those new to Ayurveda, and a great resource for those already immersed. It explains, in an easy to understand format, all you need to know to determine your ayurvedic constitution and what foods/ recipes are best for you. The recipes are great, with many vegan and gluten free variations possible. The food photography is world class and stunning. I highly recommend this book. "

"I am usually not so easily impressed, but this Ayurvedic cookbook is simply the best! Beautiful to look at with a very well-written easy to understand Ayurvedic theory part, the recipes are mouthwatering and simply delicious using only the healthiest ingredients. New and unusual combinations make this book a must-have not only for people on an Ayurvedic regimen, but for anyone who loves healthy gourmet food! I own probably every Ayurvedic cookbook out there, since I am an Ayurvedic practitioner myself, and I find most other Ayurvedic cookbooks boring, but not this one! "

"The first recipe I made from this cookbook was awful. I mean downright inedible. After trying it twice, I determined that there must be two typos. I amended the recipe and it is edible but not great. I tried a few others and they also left me quite underwhelmed. Makes me not all that excited to try any more recipes and this cookbook has been relegated to the St. Vinny's basket. There are so many great cookbooks out there that this one seems a waste of time. The Ayervedic information in the front of the book is easily gotten elsewhere (it was nothing new)."

"As a polarity practitioner encompassing Ayurveda nutrition and yoga, this book both educates anyone on Ayurveda and its healing philosophy in a clear, fun way! So exciting! I have used this book in my practice with clients, friends, and family whom have all enjoyed understanding their dosha type and then trying the foods that support them. A powerful way for people to understand and use Ayurveda in there everyday life. A gift of vitality! The dishes are fabulous, lively tastes and full of colors! Thank you to Thomas Yarema, MD, Daniel Rhoda and Chef Johnny Brannigan! "
