Editorial Reviews:

"Eat Taste Heal makes the ancient healing wisdom of Ayurveda accessible - and deliciously so - to modern cooks everywhere. Read this book." - Deepak Chopra

Eat Taste Heal: An Ayurvedic Cookbook for Modern Living provides modern applications of Ayurveda, humankind's most ancient system of healthy living. A complete guidebook and cookbook in one, this book offers every reader an individualized blueprint for achieving vibrant health. Fulfilling the adage, "Let Food Be Thy Medicine," Eat Taste Heal offers recipes that are inviting to both the kitchen novice and master chef.

The authors are a unique trio: physician, patient, and chef. Dr. Thomas Yarema, M.D., director of the Kauai Center for Holistic Medicine and Research, created for his patients an understandable dietary program rooted in common sense. Daniel Rhoda, a patient who found healing through Ayurveda, demystifies the ancient science that helped restore his health. Chef Johnny Brannigan, an internationally trained Ayurvedic chef, has created more than 150 recipes to empower individual healing through the exploration of taste.

Summary: bravo
Comment: I have never enjoyed cooking, nor cook books.... "Eat, Taste, Heal," is the only cook book I have actually read from cover to cover. The colorful presentation and eloquent writing unexpectedly caught my attention and I found myself reading for hours at a time!! When I adhere to the health suggestions in this book I have more energy, I sleep better, and my stress levels are reduced. I teach Yoga full time and I have recommended this book to all of my clients as a practical spiritual methodology. The complex Science of Ayureveda is presented in a way that everyone can enjoy. Purchasing "Eat, Taste, Heal," is like buying a toolbox full of easy to use tools that build harmony, peace and health in ones life. Even someone who doesn't like to cook will enjoy this book.

Summary: Very new to this
Comment: I get the feeling that this book gives you a good start in regards to Ayurveda. This book has a lot of information and great recipes that are broken down into Vata, Pitta & Kapha. If you're looking at a recipe for Pitta and you're a Kapha, it tells you at the end of the recipe what you can substitute OR if you should avoid it. This book also gives you Dual-Dosha recommendations.

It's easy to read and the beginning gives you a good overview of what you should know. I tend to be easily overwhelmed by too much information when starting something new. This book doesn't have that effect on me. I also like pictures in my cookbooks. I like to know how it should look if I've not made it before. I'm starting off with this book knowing there's a lot more to get into if I want.

Summary: An Incredible Guide to Ayurveda
Comment: This is a beautifully crafted, comprehensive guide to the ancient science of ayurveda. You can tell that a lot of care went into the creation of this book. It makes a perfect introduction to those new to Ayurveda, and a great resource for those already immersed. It explains, in an easy to understand format, all you need to know to determine your ayurvedic constitution and what foods/ recipes are best for you. The recipes are great, with many vegan and gluten free variations possible. The food photography is world class and stunning. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: The Best Ayurvedic Cookbook out there!
Comment: I am usually not so easily impressed, but this Ayurvedic cookbook is simply the best! Beautiful to look at with a very well-written easy to understand Ayurvedic theory part, the recipes are mouthwatering and simply delicious using only the healthiest ingredients. New and unusual combinations make this book a must-have not only for people on an Ayurvedic regimen, but for anyone who loves healthy gourmet food! I own probably every Ayurvedic cookbook out there, since I am an Ayurvedic practitioner myself, and I find most other Ayurvedic cookbooks boring, but not this one!

Summary: Did anyone else try the recipes before writing reviews?
Comment: The first recipe I made from this cookbook was awful. I mean downright inedible. After trying it twice, I determined that there must be two typos. I amended the recipe and it is edible but not great. I tried a few others and they also left me quite underwhelmed. Makes me not all that excited to try any more recipes and this cookbook has been relegated to the St. Vinny's basket. There are so many great cookbooks out there that this one seems a waste of time. The Ayervedic information in the front of the book is easily gotten elsewhere (it was nothing new).
