The timeless Ayurvedic cuisine

This book is an invitation to enjoy a mindful relationship with oneself and life. In Ayurveda, cooking is regarded as an honorable and spiritual activity that involves a deep connection with the life energy of food - the soul quality Prana - and its conscious preparation. "Food is medicine," says Ayurveda. The oldest health system in the world understands the laws of life and has been influenced by the timeless wisdom of all cultures. Thus, Ayurveda represents a kind of primal knowledge and is at home wherever there is life. This book, a valuable guide, an indispensable reference work, a therapist's manual, a reading material, and a delightful source of recipes all at once, particularly emphasizes the healing power of food in Ayurvedic cuisine. Alexander Pollozek and Dominik Behringer examine Ayurveda from their respective therapeutic perspectives.
