ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of health and healing based in the principle that each human being is unique, and has a distinct individual constitution, genetic inheritance, and predisposition to certain ailments. This is the first Ayurvedic Cooking book that allows you to easily implement Ayurvedic principles in your cooking and improve your health without devoting long hours of study to the subject or breaking your budget. Learn how to cure insomnia and indigestion, even out mood swings, and much more, just by making food choices based on your Ayurvedic constitution. The recipes include familiar favorites - such as baked apples, chicken burgers, and potato salad - making it a practical, easy-to-use addition to your kitchen and home.
USER REVIEWS
"This is one of the best cookbooks I have ever bought! Eileen Smith notes in the preface that her main objective is to keep meal planning and cooking as simple as possible, and she has managed to do that.
This cookbook includes recipes with easy-to-find ingredients, short prep and cooking times, the inclusion of chicken and seafood (most Ayurvedic cookbooks are completely vegetarian), and recipes that taste great!
I also liked that she included some introductory information on Ayurveda, including a test to determine your dosha. I already knew I was Vata, and was very pleasantly surprised to see that almost every recipe listed to balance Vata sounded good to me, like Baked Fish with Herbs, Scallops in Wine Sauce, Chicken with Mustard Marinade and more.
I would highly recommend this cookbook to anyone looking for good, healthy food that's easy to make and tastes great!"

"This cookbook is excellent because the recipes are simple and easy to understand. Also, you can find all the ingredients! I've made 6 recipes so far, and all have turned out excellent. (Try the herb baked fish--mmmm)"

"This book has been a wonderful way to introduce Ayurvedic cooking into my kitchen. I love the fact that these recipes are not "indian" dishes, for variety. I've tried the Salmon Loaf, Seafood cakes, beans & rice, and some very simple side dishes to go with these....all are great. I can also serve these to others who don't care to have indian food 7 days a week ;) As a beginner, I find most recipes in other, traditional Ayurvedic cooking sources a bit too much for my full-time work week, yet as an added benefit from using this cookbook I found that I've built up the courage to try those challenging ones as well... maybe on the weekend, initially. I base this review on comparison with the more complex "Eat - Taste - Heal", "The New Whole Foods Encyclopedia" (good reference on Ayurvedic properties of single foods, but not on "mixing"), and "The Path of Practice" (although this one is not really a cookbook). Hope my experience encourages you to try the Ayurvedic diet!"

"I prefer cook books with color photos, times to both prepare and cook food and this one hasn't had much of a life out of the book case.
It is hard to find good vegan cook books, I like the subject matter and that it does address food as a source of healing."

"The recipes are easy to follow and not expensive to make. Trying to eat healthy gets to be so expensive, this book offers many tasty economical alternatives to fast food."
