The Tastes Of Ayurveda: More Healthful, Healing Recipies for the Modern Ayurvedic

Description

Ayurveda, the 5000-year-old healing tradition from India linked to the development of yoga is based on the concept that the physical, mental and spiritual well-being of the individual comes from a number of sources, not least of which is a healthy diet based on one's individual constitution. In this all-vegetarian cookbook, Amrita Sondhi provides delicious new twists on traditional Ayurvedic recipes that are inspired by the growing popularity of whole grains and raw foods. Recipes include modern interpretations of Indian cuisine and spins on vegetarian fare.

Amrita Sondhi is a certified yoga instructor and Ayurvedic cooking teacher, and owner of Movement (movementglobal.com), a cutting-edge clothing line specializing in sustainable fibers. Currently she is co-host of The Ayurvedic Way, a television program broadcast in Canada on One: The Body, Mind and Spirit Channel. She lives on Bowen Island, British Columbia, Canada.

Amrita Sondhi demystifies an approach to eating that's unfamiliar to a lot of Americans but often credited with great health benefits ... Because the Ayurvedic diet is personalized based on the concept of three doshas, Sondhi helps readers target the recipes that are best for working to achieve their optimal health. --Today's Diet and Nutrition
