Book Reviews of Heaven's Banquet: Vegetarian Cooking for Lifelong Health the Ayurveda Way
Book Review: My favorite inspirational cookbook
Summary: 5 Stars
I usually shy away from cookbooks with no pictures because they're not as inspiring and it's more difficult to decide on recipes. However, I've been interested in Ayurveda for a couple of years and thought I'd try it out. I turn to this book everyday...It's a shame that people are writing reviews about the recipes in this book using too much fat or sugar. I wonder if they actually read the first section of the book that explains why the recipes are this way and to remember to honor what one feels like eating. Sugar has a place in our diet, but as Miriam states, those of us who crave sugar might have an imbalance. Those recipes are to be used sparingly. Also, if you find that you'd prefer cooking with alternative flours to white flour, or alternative rice to white rice, I think the idea here is to follow your intuition. These recipes are only meant to be a base for your ideas and not to be the end.
What I love about this book is the flexibility the recipes provide with suggestions for variations depending on your mood and what you have on hand. In no time, you'll be creating your own recipes inspired from Miriam's.
This is the first Amazon review I've written, that this book has truly inspired me to do so.
Summary of Heaven's Banquet: Vegetarian Cooking for Lifelong Health the Ayurveda Way
Written with the support of the Maharishi Ayur-Veda Institute, this comprehensive cookbook shows how to incorporate the timeless principles of Ayurveda into the twenty-first century kitchen. A result of Miriam Kasin Hospodar's twenty-year culinary journey, "Heaven's Banquet" draws from a rich palette of international cuisines and teaches you how to match your diet to your mind-body type for maximum health and well-being. It contains over 700 surprisingly simple recipes, ranging from Thai Corn Fritters and Asian-Cajun Eggplant Gumbo to West African Avocado Mousse and Mocha-Spice Cake with Coffee Cream Frosting. Readers will discover the most effective methods of preparing food, the benefits of eating seasonally for invidual types, and how to create a diet for the entire family. There are special sections on how to lose weight and control sugar sensitivity, a questionnaire to help determine mind-body type, and essential ingredients for a well-stocked Ayurvedic kitchen.Healthy Books
