Ayurvedic Food Culture and Recipes by Dr. Vinod Verma Ayurvedic food means a harmonious combination of food products prepared with various seeds, herbs and spices in order to create equilibrium in your body and to rejuvenate you. This food should increase 'ojas' (immunity and vitality) in the body. The preparation of the food, the way it is consumed and its quantity also play a significant role. The quality of the food should be according to the place, weather, climate, specific situation (like fatigue, sickness, stress etc.) and the fundamental nature of an individual. The food preparation should be balanced in relation to the five fundamental elements (ether, air, fire, water and earth) of which the whole universe is made and in addition the equilibrium should be sought in the above-described factors. It is essential to know all these basic factors to comprehend properly about the Ayurvedic food preparations. This book is a key to health for those who wish to live a long, healthy and disease-free life with optimum energy level. Ayurvedic cooking does not mean 'Indian cooking' and Ayurvedic cooking preparations do not have to be Indian. Ayurvedic principles are largely followed in many traditional homes in India. Nevertheless, not all Indian foods are prepared according to the principles of Ayurveda. Most existing books on Ayurvedic cooking are simply Indian cookbooks and those too at times are westernised. For example, the wheat bread eaten in most Indian homes is made with dough prepared simply with flour and water and this flat bread is baked on an iron pan. It is called chapati and it is freshly made for each meal. There is no salt or fat in the chapatis. They may be slightly smeared with ghee (clarified butter) on the top after they are ready. The chapatis are eaten with various vegetable or meat preparations, which are salted. However, to my utter surprise, many of the so called Ayurvedic cookbooks had instructed to add salt in the dough for chapatis, obviously to make the taste comparable to the salted bread eaten in the West. There are also many deep-fried, oily and fatty recipes written under the name of Ayurvedic cooking. In the ancient texts of Ayurveda, these foods are specifically prohibited and when eaten, they should be made with particular spices that promote digestion. However, these spices are not mentioned in the recently published books. I have written this book to give you an over all understanding of the Ayurvedic concepts of food preparation by illustrating the scientific reasons for using particular spices in particular preparations. This way, you will not only learn the limited Ayurvedic recipes but will also be able to use the specific products in your own recipes at an appropriate time in order to make them according to the Ayurvedic principles of balance and harmony. Many recipes described in this book are specifically designed and are invented by me to suit our modern way of life, available equipment and time constraint. Since I have spent a substantial part of my adult life in Europe and also three years in the USA, and have travelled around the world, my recipes are very often cross-cultural but modified according to the principles of Ayurveda. Dr Verma is a world renowned scientist who has studied Neurobiology in Paris in the University of Pierre et Marie Curie (old Sorbonne) and has worked in prestigious places like National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, USA and Max Planck Institute in Germany. She resolved to do research in health rather than disease after having worked in a pharmaceutical company in Germany in 1984. She was the first one to bring scientific aspects of Ayurveda to the West. Her books on Yoga and Ayurveda a comprehensive and holistic scientific system appeared in late eighties and early nineties in various European languages. She has written 23 books on various aspects of health until now. For more details see www.ayurvedavv.com

During the recent years, Ayurvedic wisdom has been propagated by religious or sectarian gurus rather than by Vaidyas (traditional Ayurvedic physician), scholars and Indian women, who have kept the Ayurvedic tradition alive for thousands of years. Gurus tend to mould the Ayurvedic wisdom from scientific to sectarian. This book, written by a woman Ayurvedic scholar, who has also had Western education in medical sciences, is a valuable piece of work, as it puts forward the scientific aspect of Ayurveda in context of its food culture and preparations. It is a prime example of the integration of scientific values in Indian cultural tradition. The book highlights the rational basis of what we should eat, when, how and why. The book contains authentic Ayurvedic food culture and mode of preparation of various international recipes by applying Ayurvedic principles. Scriptural wisdom of Ayurveda does not tell you to give up your glass of wine or leave out your favourite dishes. The way to good health is not through insipid food, but to enjoy the colours and flavours of life and have sensuous fulfilment with various rasas (tastes) of the cosmos. The secret to good health lies in understanding the Ayurvedic food culture and following its Eight Golden Principles. The book teaches the art of preparing balanced and rejuvenating food by using different herbs and spice mixtures and by attaining the knowledge about their hot and cold nature. With appropriate knowledge of Ayurvedic food culture, one can enhance energy, immunity and vitality and above all can cure one's minor ailments. The Great Sanskrit scholar and an India's leading Pandit on Indian cultural tradition, Professor Dharmanand Sharma has described this book as follow: "Dr. Vinod Verma's book, which is based upon the ancient scientific principles of Ayurveda and is presenting modern methods of preparation is like a ray of hope in this age of darkness and confusion when our food is little better than poison. It is not only a recipe book but also describes the Ayurvedic food culture, which can help many people heal their digestion-related ailments. The use of modern equipments to shorten the time and systematic preparations of numerous spice combinations make the book a valuable gift to humanity. This book is a commendable and extraordinary attempt to present the ancient wisdom in a modern way for the benefit of humanity."

Sacred & Delicious is an award-winning vegetarian cookbook, a primer on Ayurveda (India’s ancient wellness system), and a gorgeous food memoir that celebrates the healing power of food. Author Lisa Mitchell writes inspiring and clear prose about the power of the Ayurvedic system to sustain good health and reverse chronic health problems, recounting her own recovery. The book includes 108 recipes and more than 60 full-page color photos. Most of the dishes include vegan options, and all but two are gluten-free. Only ten of the recipes reflect traditional Indian cooking. The rest demonstrate how to apply the balancing principles of Ayurveda and the creative (yet subtle) use of spices to modern Western cuisines that many Westerners prefer. Mitchell shares the Vedic perspective on why food is sacred and how cooks can bring a sacred intention to their kitchen labors to approach food preparation as spiritual practice. Traditional blessings for food from various cultures are sprinkled throughout the book. In April 2019, Sacred & Delicious won silver medals in two prestigious book industry awards competitions: the IBPA Benjamin Franklin Awards (in the Body, Mind, Spirit category) and the Nautilus Awards (in the Food, Cooking, and Healthy Eating category). It also won the cookbook category in the Body, Mind, Spirit Book Awards and is a finalist in the Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards (to be announced in June).

"The Ayurveda Diet Cookbook" is a comprehensive guide that intertwines the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda with modern nutritional needs, offering a unique approach to health and wellness through the lens of culinary delights. This book is more than a collection of recipes; it's a journey into the heart of Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old system of natural healing that has its origins in the Vedic culture of India. At its core, "The Ayurveda Diet Cookbook" is grounded in the principle that food is medicine and that what we eat significantly impacts our mind, body, and spirit. The book begins with an enlightening introduction to Ayurveda, making it accessible to newcomers while providing a refreshing perspective for those already familiar with the practice. It delves into the concept of the three doshas - Vata, Pitta, and Kapha - which are the fundamental energies that govern the function of our bodies and minds. The book offers a simple yet comprehensive questionnaire to help readers identify their predominant dosha and understand their unique body type. Following this foundational knowledge, the book presents an array of recipes that are not only mouthwatering but also tailored to balance each dosha. The recipes are meticulously crafted, blending traditional Ayurvedic ingredients with modern culinary techniques. Each recipe is more than just a set of instructions; it's an educational experience that teaches the healing properties of various foods and spices, and how they can be used to treat different health issues, promote longevity, and maintain overall balance and harmony in the body. The recipes in "The Ayurveda Diet Cookbook" range from simple, everyday dishes to more elaborate preparations, ensuring there is something for everyone, regardless of their cooking experience. The book covers all meal categories, including breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks, and desserts, and pays special attention to seasonal eating, emphasizing the importance of aligning our diet with the rhythms of nature. One of the most appealing aspects of this cookbook is its emphasis on accessibility and flexibility. The author recognizes that we live in a fast-paced world and offers practical tips on how to incorporate Ayurvedic principles into a busy lifestyle. The recipes are designed with modern kitchens in mind, using ingredients that are readily available in most grocery stores, and offering substitutions where necessary. "The Ayurveda Diet Cookbook" also delves into the spiritual aspect of cooking and eating. It encourages mindfulness in the kitchen, teaching readers to cook with intention and eat with awareness. This holistic approach extends beyond the plate, offering guidance on other Ayurvedic practices such as yoga, meditation, and pranayama (breath control), which complement the dietary aspects of Ayurveda. Beautifully illustrated, each page of this cookbook is a visual and educational treat. The photographs of the dishes are not only appealing but also serve as a guide for presentation, making the act of cooking a more immersive and enjoyable experience. In conclusion, "The Ayurveda Diet Cookbook" is more than just a compilation of recipes; it's a transformative tool that empowers readers to take control of their health through the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda. It's a testament to the power of food as medicine and a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their health, find balance, and enjoy delicious, nutritious meals. This book is a must-have for anyone seeking to intertwine the art of cooking with the science of well-being.
