This book by Amrita Sondhi is now in its second printing, and is a modern look at the 5,000-year old holistic healing tradition of Ayurveda from India. Of course India is also the birthplace of yoga in which physical and spiritual well-being is achieved by a number of sources, including a healthful diet. The Modern Ayurvedic employs ancient wisdom that helps one determine what their body needs. Through a variety of questions, one determines their dosha. The dosha is described by being either air (vata), fire (pitta), and earth (kapha) and is determined by one’s individual mental and physical characteristics. The beauty of this book is that it includes easy-to-find ingredients and modern-day cooking methods appropriate for busy lifestyles so that you can easily incorporate its recipes into your diet.
