Find out how easy it is to use Ayurveda in the kitchen and create a delicious way to your well-being. These recipes use the power of taste alone to restore and maintain balance in your mind and body and are designed to empower you to create health naturally from delicious meals. How does Ayurveda work? Ayurveda identifies six tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, astringent, and pungent which affect each of us differently. We all have different preferences for these tastes based on our unique mind-body type. Find out your mind-body type by answering the short questionnaire in this book. Then you use your score to choose suitable recipes in the book. Why are tastes so important? They act upon the three controlling principles called the three doshas, which make the primary and secondary mind-body types, and one's dietary preferences, to maintain balance and well-being. The three primary types are: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Vata types tend to be thinner and have a fast metabolism, Pitta types are medium build & competitive, and Kapha types are bigger build with a slower metabolism, so need exercise. In this book, there are Spice Mix recipes for Vata, Pitta and Kapha which offer a simple and quick way to prepare tasty meals that balance the doshas. Each Spice Mix provides all 6 tastes, except salt, which lead to feeling satisfied and nourished. You won't feel the need to nibble. To give you an indication, some of the ingredients used in the Spice Mixes include ginger, turmeric, coriander, cumin & cinnamon. John uses some of the recipes with the Pitta Spice Mix every day, because it is so easy, tastes nice & gives him all 6 tastes which is very satisfying and prevents cravings.
