Synopsis:

Eating Healthy Never Tasted So Good!  
Ayurveda cooking has never been easier or tastier.  More than a cookbook, Essential Ayurvedic Cooking addresses wellness, happiness and balance via the time-honored principles of Ayurveda. This fresh interpretation is flexible and fun - designed for people living in a western culture seeking immediate benefits. With ingredient lists that are readily available and tailored to a western palate, you'll be whipping up tasty, healthy meals on a regular basis!

No prior ayurveda experience is necessary. Recipes are designed to balance all constitutions (tri-doshic), which minimizes the guesswork for what recipes are appropriate for each individual.
