Review
In front of me is a new vegetarian cookbook: The Modern Ayurvedic Cookbook. Ayurvedic is a big word that may turn casual readers away, but for serious foodies seeking soothing and healing recipes, vegans and those who are into holistic health, this one works.... It's a friendly cookbook that anyone can use and appreciate, including those who just enjoy cooking and those who simply love Indian vegetarian cuisine.
—The Dining Out Guide (The Dining Out Guide )
I am pleased that Amrita Sondhi has written such a wonderful book! Not only as a cookbook, but also as a valuable resource and as a comprehensive introduction to the profound health science of Ayurveda, I heartily recommend this book! The recipes are tasty and easy to prepare, and the appendices offer important information on yoga-asana, aromatherapy, color therapy, and detailed menu plans, making it one of the most user friendly books about Ayurveda I know.

The Modern Ayurvedic Cookbook will make a welcome and impressive addition to personal and community cookbook collections.

Excellent Ayurvedic Cookbook for Westerners,
By
This review is from: Modern Ayurvedic Cookbook: Healthful, Healing Recipes for Life (Paperback)
This is a great Ayurvedic cookbook for westerners. All of the recipes I have tried from this book, are tasty & easy to prepare. Many of the recipes will make a "westernized" palate very happy. There are recipes for breakfasts, appetizers/snacks, entrees, soups, baked goods, condiments, etc.. The book gives easy to follow tips to adjust the recipe to your "dosha" type. The layout of the book is very clear and easy to understand. Whether you are a new or an experienced Ayurvedic cook, you will love the recipes in this delicious book. This book is a keeper!

Excellent,
This review is from: Modern Ayurvedic Cookbook: Healthful, Healing Recipes for Life (Paperback)
What an excellent cookbook. I'm a Master Herbalist and loved reading the ancient art of healing using Indian spices. The recipes are simple, delicious and easy to follow. I thoroughly enjoyed reading and learning how to balance one's dosha through nutritious healthy meals. I received my book yesterday and immediately tried the rice pudding recipe; it had a wonderful subtle fragrance of cardamon/cinnamon, it was the best rice pudding I had ever made. We live in Campbell River, not far from Bowen Island where Amrita resides. Thank you Amrita for writing this excellent cookbook. Diane

Lots of Food, Little on Healing,
By Antigone Walsh - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Modern Ayurvedic Cookbook: Healthful, Healing Recipes for Life (Paperback)
I purchased this book anticipating condition specific recipes,however, the coverage of the doshas and the problems caused by imbalance is superficial at best. The recipes provide a tasty introduction to mostly Indian style vegetarian food. Many are labor intensive and quite heavy on the carbs and a number involve frying. A few require exotic ingredients that may not be easily accessible outside of urban areas. No nutritional information is provided.The book is readable and the author has a pleasant, conversational style. The recipes I've tried have all been satisfactory, including the vegetable dishes, dals, pickles,lassis and rice puddings. The book is not limited to Indian cooking-there are also recipes for a fat free muesli, gazpacho and a refreshing fruit soup. There are suggested menus that are a bit starchy for my tastes and a cleansing/fasting program. Cursory chapters on yoga and aromatherapy are presented but without real depth. There is nothing on herbal supplementation and skimpy instructions on implementing the cleansing program. If your primary focus is on healing, you would be better served by offerings by Letha Haddady or Barbara Proust. If you are looking for tasty ways to include more vegetables in your diet, you will be satisfied by this book. 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful

I love this book!,
By Carrie "Health Maven" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Modern Ayurvedic Cookbook: Healthful, Healing Recipes for Life (Paperback)
I came across this cookbook at the library, flipped through it, and instantly knew I needed to own this book!! I've only tried a couple of recipes, but can't wait to try more! (Definately try the Carrot Halva on p. 241, spiced with cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon - and I also love the Spicy Almond Milk (p.273) with a unique blend of anise, pepper, and ginger - delicious!) Other recipes of interest include whole-wheat chapatis, paneer samosas (paneer is an Indian cottage cheese), and blackberry oat bars...! Amrita Sondhi explains how foods and spices can balance your dosha/constitution and includes a few menu plans, cleanses, and several yoga postures.If you like cooking authentic Indian dishes with wonderful spices, you'll truly enjoy this book (and so will your tastebuds!) |
