This book has easy to follow/easy to cook recipes. I've already made two of the recipes, neither of which required obscure or expensive foods, and both of which were very easy to make. Both recipes took 20 minutes TOTAL - preparation & cooking time - to make, which is an added bonus since I find many veggie/health recipes to be very consuming. To top it off, the results are tasty. One word of caution - some of these recipes are a little ayurvedic suspicious - there are some foods which one may consider to be unfriendly to certain doshas but are listed underneath the dosha recipe anyway.

This book is a must! If you're interested in Ayurvedia and its principles - then you'll really enjoy this book. It has sections on the constitutions and recipes for each of these. There's lots of great recipes along with information in each section. It's a great choice and a wonderful addition to your culinary cooking choices. It is for all tastes!

If you're interested in Ayurvedic Cooking and an easy explanation of the Ayurvedic principles, you need this book. Ms. Smith provides a beautiful explanation of Ayurvedic theory and her recipes are delicious and easy. This book is the way to start!!!!

This book really puts the harmony in eating. I'm not a vegetarian but I combine the pinciples of doshas to create everyday and seasonal meal plans. This book has makes eating part of a whole life experience.

The author has taken the principles of Ayurveda and applied them to the American palate, food supply, and lifestyle. For example, if you suffer from constipation, heartburn, or sinus congestion, you will be gently steered to the food choices that help alleviate those problems, without having to become a vegetarian or go out of your way for exotic ingredients. Well organized, with lots of simple menu ideas enjoyed by everyone. Thank you, Eileen!
