The Ayurvedic Kitchen: Cookbook for Vibrant Health (ePub)

Ayurveda is an ancient Indian holistic healing system that has been practiced for thousands of years. 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!
