Summary: Great Indian cookbook
Comment: The first section of this book explains the thinking behind Ayurvedic cooking and the difference between the three doshas- Vata, Pitta and Kapha. It attempts to help you find which one you are, gives examples of meal plans and then the rest of the book is made up of recipes. I found this book to be very accessible and although based on Ayurvedic principles it feels to me like a normal cookbook that I can just pick up and cook from. The reading before the actual recipes was very enjoyable.I have experienced many new tastes using this book. Some of the recipes are so easy, simple and delicious and some take much longer but are equally delicious. There is a wonderful section on beverages including lassis and almond milk. Each recipe designates which dosha it would be good for. The breakfast and snack sections are also great. A very good book for someone wanting to explore Indian cooking or looking for new recipes.

Summary: THE VERY BEST BOOK YOU CAN BUY FOR YOUR HEALTH!!!
Comment: Bob Sachs, author of "Tibetan Ayurveda", recommended this book to me. I feel that Tibetan Medicine is the best system of medicine.
They believe that behavior determines health. But the second
variable is food. Their system is ayurvedic. Based on body types. But they don't have a suitable book out for sale. This
book is Indian Ayurvedic. Which is about 90% the same. Each menu will tell you in numbers how much it matches your body type. And there are other symbols which tell you about seasons and tastes and so forth. This is all really quite simple. But
I don't follow this book. My reason is Indian Cooking. All the meals are cooked using Indian Cooking. You are supposed to put
mustard seeds on the frying pan and as soon as they start to pop, you start to put in other ingredients. It has to do with timing. You don't want the mustard seeds burnt or black. This
is a small thing, I suppose. But I bailed out when I got to that. I do think that this book will give you the very best
health care outside of good behavior. Thank you and happy eating.

Summary: Tastes Great, Good for You
Comment: I'm not a vegetarian, but when I use the recipes in this book, I don't miss the meat. Yes, this book will teach you about the ancient art of Ayurvedia, but that would all be useless if it didn't taste good because I wouldn't use it. It emphasizes well spiced foods specific to your particular constitution, and I found that the recommendations often went along with things that I had already figured out, for example that I needed to eat well cooked foods. Most the ingredients in this book are easy to find - if I can get them in Philly, you can probably get them anywhere. If this were only a vegetarian cookbook, it would be a 5-star book (and I say that as a meat-eater). With all of the extra Ayurvedic information, this is a book you should have if you do any of your own cooking.
