Customer Reviews

This cookbook is a gem!
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!

perfect for the lazy healthnut
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.

Quick and Easy Ayurvedic Cookbook
