Overview: Ayurveda is a holistic healing tradition from India whose
history is linked to the development of yoga. It is an ancient system in
which physical and spiritual well-being comes from a number of sources,
including a healthful diet based on one’s individual constitution.
Ayurveda is about achieving a physical and spiritual balance through a
number of means, including yoga, aromatherapy, and diet. This
all-vegetarian cookbook based on Ayurvedic traditions features
delectable and nutritious recipes that appeal to particular doshas,
which are one’s personal constitution based on physical and mental
characteristics: fire (pitta), air (vata), and earth (kapha). (The book
includes a dosha questionnaire so readers can determine their own.) And
while the recipes are authentically Ayurvedic, they feature easy-to-find
ingredients and modern-day cooking methods appropriate for busy
schedules.
The book also includes yoga postures, cleansing programs, and
information on aromatherapy, color therapy, and Abhyanga massage. There
are also suggested meat substitutions for non-vegetarians. (Ayurveda is
not exclusively vegetarian, although this book is.)
Written with both converts and beginners in mind, The Modern Ayurvedic
Cookbook is a twenty-first-century approach to a five-thousand-year-old
tradition that will restore your health, energy, and sense of well-being
