THE VERY BEST BOOK YOU CAN BUY FOR YOUR HEALTH!!!,
By Bill Butler "Bill Butler" (Tarzana, Ca. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ayurvedic Cookbook (Paperback)
Bob Sachs, author of "Tibetan Ayurveda", recommended this book to me. I feel that Tibetan Medicine is the best system of medicine.They believe that behavior determines health. But the second variable is food. Their system is ayurvedic. Based on body types. But they don't have a suitable book out for sale. This book is Indian Ayurvedic. Which is about 90% the same. Each menu will tell you in numbers how much it matches your body type. And there are other symbols which tell you about seasons and tastes and so forth. This is all really quite simple. But I don't follow this book. My reason is Indian Cooking. All the meals are cooked using Indian Cooking. You are supposed to put mustard seeds on the frying pan and as soon as they start to pop, you start to put in other ingredients. It has to do with timing. You don't want the mustard seeds burnt or black. This is a small thing, I suppose. But I bailed out when I got to that. I do think that this book will give you the very best health care outside of good behavior. Thank you and happy eating.

Tastes Great, Good for You,
By Seth Heidkamp (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ayurvedic Cookbook (Paperback)
I'm not a vegetarian, but when I use the recipes in this book, I don't miss the meat. Yes, this book will teach you about the ancient art of Ayurvedia, but that would all be useless if it didn't taste good because I wouldn't use it. It emphasizes well spiced foods specific to your particular constitution, and I found that the recommendations often went along with things that I had already figured out, for example that I needed to eat well cooked foods. Most the ingredients in this book are easy to find - if I can get them in Philly, you can probably get them anywhere. If this were only a vegetarian cookbook, it would be a 5-star book (and I say that as a meat-eater). With all of the extra Ayurvedic information, this is a book you should have if you do any of your own cooking.

The Ayurvedic Cookbook,
By Tami Brady "Whole Health" (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Ayurvedic Cookbook (Paperback)
I have to admit that I was a little intimidated when I first picked up The Ayurvedic Cookbook. I am new to Ayurveda. I have been reading everything I can get my hands on about the system and have started to change the way I eat according to these principles. However, to this point, I have been looking at specific foods and tastes to help my own health rather than trying to create a whole meal for my family.Even with my limited experiments, I have already noticed changes in the way I feel. I was eager to do more but afraid that it might be more complex than I could handle. I was also a little worried that the food would be bland and boring. Now, I'm so glad that I picked up The Ayurvedic Cookbook. The recipes are delicious. I haven't had to say "eat it because it's healthy" once. My favorite part is that each recipe includes information at the beginning that details how the recipe fits into the Ayurvedic system. Moreover, the book includes a little blurb of information about the main ingredient of each section. This gives me a better idea about what this ingredient does in the system and when it works best. It also tells me how that particular item reacts with vata, pitta, and kapha types.
