This is not a bad book. But Amadea Morningstar's first Ayurvedic Cookbook is a classic. It's brilliant. This tries to do a similar thing but to "westernise" the food and to me it just doesn't work. I have both this and her first book. The first one gets constant use. This sits on my shelf and gets pulled down every so often, only to be returned. I can see what she wants to do. To produce recipes which are apprpriate for people who don't like Indian food. But the recipes in her first book bear no resemblence to what gets served up in Britain's curry houses. So even if you think you don't like Indian food, I'd bet you'd like most of the recipes in the first book. So this one just seems redundant.

This is a super book for people interested in Ayurveda who think this health system can be followed using only Indian foods. Morningstar prooves this myth wrong. Her recipes are familiar and are coupled with a wealth of interesting and useful information. I'm glad I have this book on my shelf.
