“At the centre of these healthy recipes is the idea that food has medicinal properties with the power to heal. The beauty is in the simplicity of these recipes with the prerequisite that they are delicious too. When consumed daily for a week, the recipes in this book will make you feel light, energised and promote an overall sense of well-being,” says the author and the founder of Kairali Ayurvedic Group.
In the last few years, the veteran Ayurveda practitioner has written several health books including ‘The Ayurvedic Cookbook: Get Fit In Just Two Weeks’, and ‘Ayurvedic Herbal Massage‘. With over one lakh screened books and publications from over 230 countries, her latest book The Ayurvedic Wellness Cookbook has received Gourmand World Cookbook Award 2023, at UMEA Food in Sweden, in Diet and Vegetarian categories.
“I have written an easy-to-follow guide to maintaining a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. According to Ayurveda, this is what we follow in our daily lives. In Ayurveda, one does not count calories, instead, we commit to a philosophy and a way of life. Ayurveda proposes that eating be a mindful, meditative experience. By making a shift to a way of slow eating, using freshly sourced, seasonal ingredients, this cookbook shifts the focus of eating to detoxification and rejuvenation for all body types” she said.
