The Ayurvedic Cookbook

Ayurveda is an ancient system of health from India. It is a Sanskrit word which translates as "science of life". According to Ayurvedic principles, the same spirit that animates all living things also exists in food - and eating is therefore a spiritual experience, a celebration of life. The focus of this cookbook is the spiritual and mindful aspect of cooking. It contains vegetarian recipes from many cultures that take Ayurvedic principles into account, aiming to keep physical, mental and spiritual energies in balance.
