The Everyday Ayurveda Cookbook (Kate O'Donnell)

The 10th anniversary edition of the beloved first book in Kate O’Donnell’s Everyday Ayurveda series, showing the reader how to eat delicious seasonal food, balance the body, and heal the gut with simplified, traditional Ayurvedic wisdom and over 100 simple recipes designed to get you cooking in the kitchen.

Even the simplest Ayurvedic practices complement Western medicine because of their focus on correcting imbalance before it creates disease. Keeping digestion on track is the key to health in Ayurveda, and eating natural, homemade foods in accordance with personal constitution and changes in environment is often all that is needed to bring a body back into balance. The Everyday Ayurveda Cookbook inspires yogis and non-yogis alike to get into the kitchen and explore this time-honored system of seasonal eating for health and nourishment. This special 10th anniversary edition is edited and updated, with a new author’s note and a foreword by Amadea Morningstar. 
    Ditching processed food and learning to eat well at home are the first steps you can take to relieving imbalance. The Everyday Ayurveda Cookbook removes many of the obstacles by showing you how straightforward and accessible preparing your own delicious, seasonal meals can be. Learn how the changing weather and qualities in your environment both mirror and influence your body and appetite, season by season, with lifestyle advice, meal planning, and self-care regimens. The no-fuss recipes will make you eager to cook.
    To expand your cooking repertoire, you'll also learn foundational everyday recipes that can be adapted to any season and any constitution.
