Industry Reviews
"This is the book equivalent of the aphorism, 'give a man a fish and he can eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he can eat for a lifetime.' While there are many books that outline principles of Ayurveda and then proceed to provide a list of recipes, this book helps us apply the principles to our own thought process and understanding so well that we can tailor our own recipes to whatever ingredients we have on hand, in whatever climate or state of being we find ourselves, and prepare and eat food in ways that promote optimal health. I love this book."
