Very Tasty Veggie Recipes

As an omnivore, I don't really care how "yogic" this book may or may not be, and I'm a very casual, perhaps creative cook who doesn't bother much about measuring. That said, I got this book from the library and am now purchasing it as the recipes I tried gave new life to veggies in my house and everyone's happily asking for second helpings. Really interesting flavors and the kitchen smells divine! For days! I was inspired to try some recipes from regular Indian cookbooks, but found them too complex. This book is easy, useful, and makes me seem like a good cook. What more can you ask? You must try the delish sambar, made with lentils and veggies and a ton of spices. Love at first bite at our house where formerly the little darlings left legumes on the plate. I tried the oatmeal cookies but found the eggless butterless recipe too oily -- beautiful cookies though. An experienced baker would have known before making them that the recipe wasn't right for his or her taste.

Great Cookbook!!

I am not sure why other reviewers had problems with this book--I found it very easy and clear to use. The instructions are simple and easy to follow. The food looks like the pictures--if you want to present it with the garnishes etc.. I would recommend this book to anybody who wants to eat a healthier and more flavorful diet!!

Simple and delicious recipes

I've been using this book for about 6 months. The simple, easy to follow recipes are all delicious, making use of the flavours of fresh ingredients in a subtle but very tantilising way. There is also a great variety of recipes; you would eat very well using only these. The colour photos are also mouth-watering, I just wish there were more of them.

A Great Guide for Yogic cooking

It was high time for someone to write a book based on the principles of Yogic cooking. Being a Yoga Teacher myself and following the Yogic principles on eating sometimes students wonder how you can create great tasting dishes without onions, garlic, leeks, mushrooms, vinegar etc, now I can tell them just get this book. The recipies are visually well presented and easy to follow, there is something for everyone. I can heartily recommend this book to anyone interested in the practice of Yoga and a healthy vegetarian diet.

Beautiful pictures, great advice, interesting recipes!

This book is marvelous. Most of the ingredients don't require a trip to a foreign country. The taste, amazing. This book also has a lot of information on yoga, if that is of your interest. It is mostly vegan. I'd say about 99%.
