perfect for the lazy healthnut, Jun 26 2005
By Vixenvillain "Jen" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Quick And Easy Ayurvedic Cookbook (Paperback)
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.

This cookbook is a gem!, Feb 24 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Quick And Easy Ayurvedic Cookbook (Paperback)
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!

Too close to the American diet, Oct 21 2008
By Heather L. Stanley - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Quick And Easy Ayurvedic Cookbook (Paperback)
The reason I bought this book was that it had "quick and easy" in the title. The title should read, "quick and easy, and heavily Americanized 'claims to be' Ayurvedic cooking."I have read several books on Ayurveda and Ayurvedic cooking. This cookbook deviates from the others. The recipes are more Americanized. Cheese, meat and pasta are used in a large percentage of the recipes. In this cookbook, the spices and herbs used in the recipes are typical of French, American or Italian cuisine: basil, marjoram, thyme, parsley, dill and spearmint leaves. In addition, the author combines cottage cheese and fresh fruit; in other Ayurvedic cookbooks, fresh fruit is recommended to be eaten alone. Mayonnaise, "a shocker", is also used in several of the recipes in this cookbook. How can this author claim that it is Ayurvedic cooking? I do not even consider this a cookbook for healthy eaters.
The benefits of Ayurvedic cooking are food combining and the more typically Indian spices: turmeric power, cumin seeds, and hing. Better Ayurvedic cookbooks are: The Ayurvedic Cookbook by Amadea Morningstar with Urmila Desai; The Chopra Center Cookbook by Deepak Chopra, MD; Eat, Taste, Heal by Thomas Yarema, MD, Daniel Rhoda, and Chef Johnny Brannigan; and Ayurvedic Cooking for Westerners by Amadea Morningstar.
