Enter Feed the Beloved Soul with Ayurvedic Cooking: Indian Vegetarian Cuisine.

Author Kumud Gokani follows her extremely popular first book, Cooking with Kumud, with this extraordinary collection of authentic Indian family recipes. Prepared by vegetarian Indians every day, each dish is based on the health-giving and healing properties of Ayurveda.

In this lighthearted and easy-to-follow cookbook, Gokani discusses a variety of common Indian spices, the proper use of ingredients, and more, with a special emphasis on the most important component of all-love. She passes along years of cooking passion and knowledge to provide a relaxed means of learning how to cook the way real Indian families do, with recipes that include both vegan and gluten-free options.

Sprinkled with heartfelt anecdotes from the author's life while living in a traditional Indian family, as well as in the West, this guide is the perfect addition to the kitchen of anyone who loves simple and delicious cuisine.
