Original name: Thomas Yarema "Eat-Taste-Heal. An Ayurvedic Cookbook for Modern Living"

About the book in one sentence: Proper nutrition is the best cure for all diseases.

Recently, the Mann, Ivanov and Ferber publishing house (more about it at the end of the article) sent me another book. Last time I wrote to Leanne Campbell, now I have the opportunity to read the edition of Thomas Yarema, Johnny Brannigan and Daniel Rod. And here's what I think...

As always, for convenience and clarity, I will write everything down point by point.

Pros:

1. To be honest, such books evoke sacred awe in me by their very appearance. Pleasant cover, coated paper, high-quality binding... In general, the quality of the publication cannot be underestimated.

2. People who are interested in Ayurveda simply must have such a book at home. It is undoubtedly useful for those who are just beginning to study this ancient science. And if your friends or relatives ask you: “What is Ayurveda?”, You can give them “Ayurveda. Healthy recipes with thousands of years of history for modern life” for review. I was even a little surprised how much useful information is contained in the book. It seems that the authors were able to cover all topics, highlighting the main theses in each. Here you will find a description of the doshas, and information about tastes, and tips on arranging the kitchen, shopping for food, nutrition during pregnancy and various diseases, as well as many other useful topics.

3. The section on doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) would like to be highlighted separately. For me it has been very helpful. I have been a vegetarian for more than 2 years, I am familiar with the basics of Vedic cooking and some of the principles of Ayurveda. But, interestingly, she could not force herself to understand the doshas. I opened some articles, books a couple of times, but everything seemed so confusing to me. But thanks to the book, I was able to quickly understand the meaning of doshas and even easily determined my type.
The information in the book, as well as the recipes, are given according to the type of constitution of each person. So, you can find here the main recommendations on lifestyle and nutrition for representatives of each of the 3 doshas. In addition, in the second section of the book there are recipes for breakfasts, lunches, dinners and even snacks, and also for Vata, Pitta, Kapha separately.

4. Let me give a little advice to those who want to study the book. At the end there are a few words from the authors. I advise you to start with them. I really liked the following lines: “Let the pages of the book have food stains, and its text makes you think: “Yeah, I knew that.” May your meal times be filled with laughter, lightness and gratitude. And may the book give you and your loved ones joy and confidence, and may the food you cook be a reflection of your unique self.
In general, after reading parting words from the author, studying the book is much more interesting. We can say that the appropriate tone for reading is set.
Therefore, I also attributed the fact that the book has a few words from the authors to the pluses.

5. After flipping through the book for the first time, I came across a recipe with salmon and then I thought: “strange ... Ayurveda and fish don’t seem to go well together ... That’s the first minus.” But, having read the book in full, I changed my mind on this issue.
Yes, at first I was a little struck by the fact that the book gives recommendations for eating meat. Although in the book itself, out of more than 170 recipes, only 7 with fish and chicken. No meat or eggs are found anywhere else.
Then I thought that this is the right position - after all, not all people are ready to give up meat right away. Perhaps such a tolerant approach to this topic, on the contrary, will be of interest to more people. After all, there are no phrases like: "You should not eat meat" or "Meat will kill you." No. Although at the same time the authors of the book make it clear that meat is harmful and that being a vegetarian is more beneficial for health. And there, everyone will decide for himself what and how to eat.

Minuses:

1. Surprisingly, there is only one minus for me. And he's talking about recipes again. Since the authors are American, most of the recipes contain ingredients that are not very accessible to us (for example, not everyone can find mung beans, and coconut milk and asparagus are quite expensive here). Although, of course, for those who want variety, the recipes are wonderful.
And I'm still waiting for one of our compatriots to write a book with vegetarian recipes that will contain more familiar potatoes, turnips, zucchini and more.

And in conclusion, I want to say a few words about the publishing house "Mann, Ivanov and Ferber". I currently have three of their books in my library: Recipes for Health and Longevity by Leanne Campbell, The China Study by Colin Campbell, and Ayurveda. Healthy recipes with thousands of years of history for modern life" Thomas Yarema, Johnny Brannigan and Daniel Rod. And I never get tired of admiring and scrolling through them. Firstly, the publications, as I said, are very high quality and beautiful. And secondly, the books are really as useful as possible, as indicated. In general, I am very glad that I got acquainted with this publishing house. Thank you very much for such a fruitful and necessary work.

P.S. If you liked the article, subscribe to updates - new vegetarian recipes will be waiting for you in the mail!

“As is the cosmic body, so is the human body. What is the cosmic mind, such is the human mind. As is the macrocosm, so is the microcosm.

The infinite intelligence of nature at the quantum level is the basis of our existence. What is the Universe (macrocosm), such is man (microcosm). By understanding this connection, we can find the power of healing within ourselves. » .

The word Ayurveda is derived from two Sanskrit wordsayus Andveda. Ayusmeans "life" in translationveda- "knowledge" or "science". Thus, it can be considered that Ayurveda is knowledge or the science of life.Ayus(life) is not only the biological age or physical health of a person. According to Ayurvedic principles, “it is the union of mind, body, senses and soul. It's endless energy and life force » .

Here I would like to say very briefly: best book according to Ayurveda, which I have ever studied or held in my hands.

Even the dosha test, with which you determine which energies predominate in your body (fire, air, ether, water or earth), the variations for which are in the hundreds, is absolutely logical and understandable in this book.

“Doshas are the biological forces of the human body and mind. They control all physical and mental processes and predetermine the individual scenario of health and self-realization of each person. » says Ayurveda. Understanding your doshas is the beginning of applying Ayurveda in your life.

In this book you will find:

1. A very brief, but voluminous and detailed introduction to the basic concepts of Ayurveda (the authors managed to brilliantly structure and literally explain the principles of ancient knowledge on their fingers).

2. Clear and valuable tests. For example, by determining the amount of ama (toxins), a taste test. Why are they so useful? They give you the opportunity to assess your current state of health and choose the best plan for either its strengthening or healing.

3. Simple recipes for preparing Ayurvedic dishes, as well as general principles of nutrition and food combinations.

There are people who are shown a raw food diet, while others it is contraindicated. One suits running, the other - smooth yoga. Some do well in humid climates, others do well in dry ones. Ayurveda provides the key to understanding your health and the tools with which you can get rid of all diseases. And even if you can’t move to a country with the ideal climate for you or completely choose organic food for yourself, in this book you will find a lot of tools to help you adjust environment to make your life as comfortable as possible.

Ayurveda heals the body, and through it, the emotions and soul. When our body is not slagged either on a physical or emotional level, everything is much easier for us - self-realization in the profession, and creativity, and building harmonious relationships.

For me, Ayurveda is one of the most organic and holistic teachings that serve as a catalyst in knowing yourself and improving your life. This book can be your starting point in this fascinating world of ancient, but at the same time extremely relevant wisdom today.
