Great Book for Western Tastes

I enjoyed using this book. The recipes are very good and not complicated. I recommend it!

a novice

As a novice to Ayurvedic practice and lifestyle I find this book packed with easily accessible information. It will take some time to try out the many recipes. I'm still benefiting from the introductory nature of the material.

Excellent!

This cookbook provides a thorough explanation of Ayurvedic concepts, including the 5 elements and 3 constitutions or doshas. Each recipe comes with a -/+/0 to indicate that a certain dish can calm, aggravate, or have a neutral effect on each dosha. Living in a multi-dosha household, this feature alone makes the book one of my favorites! The recipes and ideas in this help meld ayurvedic principles with traditional American life.

An excellent resource

This is a super book for people interested in Ayurveda who think this health system can be followed using only Indian foods. Morningstar prooves this myth wrong. Her recipes are familiar and are coupled with a wealth of interesting and useful information. I'm glad I have this book on my shelf.
