DK Eat Feel Fresh: A Contemporary Plant-based Ayurvedic Cookbook

I absolutely love this book! I have ME/CFS, which has included many food related problems over the years but finally, in Ayurveda,I've found a way of eating which my body is comfortable with and even loves. I've tried a few other Ayurvedic cook books but none have inspired me like this one. Also I can feel the vibrancy of the fresh foods giving me more energy so I can cook more and more often; it's a refreshing cycle! I'm not craving carbs/sweet foods inbeteen meals like I was and as the foods travel down my digestive tract they feel silky smooth and light, even the mung bean brownies, which I ordinarily find heavy.So far I've made the Chia pudding, Sweet Potato Chickpea Burger, Spaghetti Squash with Lentil-Walnut Plantballs, Sweet Potato Lentil Shepherd's Pie, Mung Bean Brownies and I'm waiting for my Sahasrara (crown chakra) soup to be ready for my lunch. Each recipe is clearly explained and they work so if they're followed carefully even the most inexperienced of cooks should get perfect results. I've read so many reviews of other cook books where reviewers say the recipes don't work so this is a refreshing change because everything is well thought out, tested and proven.I thoughroughly enjoy perusing the pages in search of my next recipe partly due to the stunning, colourful pages and all of the interesting and useful Ayurvedic advice. I have numerous cookbooks but this is the only one I've been using regularly. I urge anyone reading to buy the book without hesitation. My soup's ready! Enjoy the book.

Amazing!! This book has been the answer to my incredibly long search for finding an eating plan that's right for me. I've been loosely vegan for a few years now mainly due to the ethical and environmental factors associated with animal produce but have not been convinced that it has been the best option for my health.Having tried yoga and meditation to help with the mental struggles I've faced and found that the benefits have been incredible I became interested in the principles of Ayurveda but was disappointed and frustrated by the use of dairy as a main staple within it. This book offers both sensible alternatives and crucially the explanation as to how this food type is utilised by the body in the context of the principles of the Ayuverdic way which once understood is so amazing. Now the only dairy I include in my diet is ghee, I've made swaps in my meal choices to accommodate my dosha and I understand so much more clearly what my body needs to be in balance. I can't recommend this book enough, it is literally the answer to my prayers and has changed my life. I feel more energised, happy and in tune with myself and my spiritual pursuit than ever before. Thank you Sahara Rose 🌹

Some of the recipes in this book work and some... don't. To be honest I'm disappointed because spending money on cookbook you're expecting that all recipes are working, aren't you? The recipe on the pic is misleading. If you follow it, you wont get "batter" which you can "spoon" into the pan. You recive dough which is almost impossible to roll out to make it flat like chapatti supposed to be made. Sahara Rose Ketabi should double check her recipes before making it in a form of a cookbook :/

Finally a modern up to date Ayurveda cook book which does not rely heavily on grains/ghee and spices.I loved the fresh approach to this ancient healing system and that the author had taken the basic principles of Ayurveda to create beautiful recipes that work for our modern day lifestyles. I loved that not all the recipes were heavily spiced based, there wasn’t too much overuse of everything “coconut”, lots of lovely vegan recipes and keeping to low carbs meant many of the recipes used gluten free and pseudo grains which is great for those of us who have to follow a gluten free lifestyle. I also liked that many of the recipes did not have a list of ingredients as long as your arm and do not seem to be too labour intensive either.The layout of the book, the beautiful photographs and easy to understand approach to the Ayurveda lifestyle make this the best Ayurveda book/cook book I have purchased to date. If you are looking for tasty, light refreshing recipes and a new approach to Ayurveda then I would definitely recommend this book.

Since I got the book I haven’t stopped trying different recipes feeling amazing and learning so much. The book has super quality information and very relevant to TODAY’s way of living, I find in Ayurveda a lot of terms that are not as easy for me to understand and I am also vegan so this for me was exactly the perfect gift for my body and my soul! Highly recommended!!!
