It aims to create balance in the body and mind through proper diet, lifestyle, herbal remedies and spiritual practices. This cookbook brings the wisdom of Ayurveda straight to your kitchen with a collection of easy, delicious recipes tailored to nourish each dosha or mind-body type. According to Ayurveda, we all have a unique combination of three doshas - vata, pitta and kapha. Vata governs movement in the body and is balanced by grounding routines. Pitta oversees transformation through digestion and metabolism and is balanced by cooling activities. Kapha provides structure and stability and is balanced by stimulating actions. When our doshas are balanced, we feel healthy and energized. When they are imbalanced, we are more prone to disease. This book contains recipes and meal plans to balance each dosha. For vata, you will find grounding dishes like Dahi Aloo, Moong Dal Khichdi, Sweet Potato Mash and Warming Chai. Cooling foods like Cucumber Raita, Coconut Rice, Kitchari and Rose Lassi help calm excess pitta. To balance kapha, the book offers light and stimulating recipes like Detox Dal, Ginger Tea, Quinoa Upma and Honey Lemonade. In addition, there are recipes and tips for eating with the seasons, cleansing routines, using Ayurvedic superfoods like turmeric, as well as special sections on breakfasts, snacks, desserts, and remedies. Everything has been designed keeping in mind the unique needs of each dosha. Cook your way to greater balance and vitality with timeless wisdom from the ancient science of Ayurveda!

Traditional blessings for food from various cultures are sprinkled throughout the book.

Ayurveda is a holistic healing system developed in ancient India to increase an understanding of the human body, mind, and spirit. It organizes the elements of ether, air, fire, water, and earth into three body types, or doshas. Although each person is unique, one of these doshas will predominate their constitution and will need to be balanced on a regular basis. Dairy products are important foods in traditional Ayurveda; however, for every milk-based food that Ayurvedic healers revere, there is an equally effective whole-food, vegan alternative. Following the same nutritional principles as traditional Ayurveda, Talya created over 120 delicious recipes that provide healing flavors and harmony to the mind and spirit. Easy-to-follow symbols on each recipe page show how the unique chemistry of that recipe can be used to balance the body'’s constitution. Since a healthy digestive system is at the core of ayurvedic medicine, these recipes will keep you on track and in good health.
