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. ... Read More:

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.
