Ayurvedic Cooking for Self Healing

This is a wonderful book.Very useful for everyone who wants to learn healthy and tasty recipes. Thanks to the authors.

I bought this over 10 years ago, and it is still my favorite cookbook. I particularly love the kitchari recipes, I've made the pitta kitchari recipe for nearly everyone I know. This book covers the basics for how to follow an ayurvedic way when it comes to cooking, and I would say it's relatively traditional (as compared to some more new age ayurveda cookbooks I've come across lately), which I really appreciate. The recipes are easy to follow and offer a range of meals, dishes, soups, drinks, teas etc. Highly recommend!

Over the past two years I have been a human sponge when it comes to ayurveda. This book is great. Some of the items I cannot find locally. However, it does make suggestions for most herbs that can be substituted. The receipts are easy to follow and make. The concept of using specific herbs with specific foods is very interesting. I totally enjoy cooking and eating using this method. I would say this is a must for a personal ayurvedic library and a must have for interesting meals for family and guest. As I read through the book I got the feeling I was standing in the kitchen with the author and having a conversation rather than just reading how to directions.

Very informational. I would have given it five stars if it had pictures. Another great feature would have been what could be substituted for items that cannot be found or else where it would be possible to attain them. I would buy this book again simply because of the educational value. Very well written!

Such a great book. Amazing recipes that make you feel good and that are relatively easy to make.

the print in this book is very hard to read - why don’t they take the time to update the typeset, fonts, and paper quality? recipes are ok, a little dated - was a bit disappointed by this book and gave it to goodwill

This is the perfect book if you want to learn how to heal yourself through eating. Food is medicine or food is poison. Stop eating poison and learn to eat medicine. Other reviews are saying this is just an average book on ayurvedic cooking. If you want really complex, super tasty dishes that will only satisfy an Americans extravagant taste buds, then they might be right. But this book is all you need to know to cook "balanced" ayurvedic meals that will heal you. I also recommend The complete book of ayurvedic home remedies by Dr. Vasant Lad.

This book is a must have for anyone serious about ayurvedic cooking. This book come from extremely knowledgeable people.( for Western people, possibly the most important pioneers of ayurveda. Read Dr Vasant other books, and you will understand what I am saying.) This book is just filled with information. Not only does she give charts on food qualities. After each recipe, she tells you a little bit about the main ingredient. There is also a remedy section, where she goes into details about most fruits and spices. Did I mention that the recipes are supper tasty. Food that is a pleasure too chew a little bit longer. Most of her recipes are also tri-doshic, with little tips throughout the book. Overall I can't recommend this book enough.

Yo quería 1 libro, no sé porque se me han seleccionado 2. El mismo libro, en las mismas condiciones tiene 2 precios. Quiero devolver uno de los que me habéis enviado y cambiarlo por otro.

very usefull book with all recipes and ayurvedic prospective of diet!I advice you this book

Ça fait longtemps que j'ai acheté ce livre, mais je n'ai pas pu l'utiliser souvent car il y a des ingrédients qui semblent essentiels et qui apparaissent souvent dans les recettes, mais qu'ils sont introuvables même dans les épiceries asiatiques comme ajwan, hing et feuilles de curry. Il y a une petite introduction au monde d'Ayurveda au début ; le chapitre sur l'assimilation des aliments est très basique. Les deux recettes que j'ai essayées (samosas, mung dal kitchari) sont très saines et nourrisantes.It has been a while since I've bought this book, but I haven't been able to use it often because there are ingredients that seem essential and often appear in the recipes, but are unobtainable even at the Asian specialty stores like ajwan, hing and curry leaves. There's a small introduction to the world of Ayurveda at the beginning of the text ; the chapter on food combining is very basic. The two recipes that I've tried (samosas, mung dal kitchari) are very wholesome.

Good 👍 buy

Really enjoy these tasty recipes, filled with flavor. Easy to follow which recipe applies to specific dosha but also ability to adjust for others eating the same dish.Highly recommend.
