"Eat Taste Heal makes the ancient healing wisdom of Ayurvedai 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.

5 stars Raymond & Suzan Dalle` 2010-03-13

Reviewer: Raymond Dalle

We have the Pleasure of Knowing the Authors personally and they are not only good at writing, they believe in what they do. There are people out there in the world that can talk the talk, but mostly scrimp when it comes to walking the walk. Not these guys, they live, breathe, eat and taste and yes, heal, with ayurveda. It is a well written book and serves the general population as well as the more learned of us. We have used a lot of the recipes and find each one a delight to eat, taste and heal with. Thank you so much for writing this book guys! And thank you even more for living it in front of us all!

Eat-Taste-Heal is a must have for the person who is looking for a healthier way to explore a new lifestyle. Ayurvedic foods are tasty and fragrant but even more than that, Dr. Yerema educates the reader on which foods are balancing for one's "constitution" or doshas, as they're called in Ayurveda. At long last, we are turning the corner on how we consume empty calories and focus on the concept of food being our medicine as well as our pleasure. Once we discover the simplicity of Ayurveda recipes, we'll be hooked on a new kind of "fast food".

1st half of the book covers Ayurvedic theory in an easy to understand way. The 2nd half of the book has great recipes. I bought several copies to give as holiday gifts

well balanced and relatively complete theory explanations with great fairly simple recipies - delightful book

4 stars A great introduction to Ayurvedic cooking and flavors 2009-04-14

Reviewer: Seattle N

As we begin our Ayurvedic exploration, we were searching for a cook book that was both a blend of educational information and practical recipes that we could incorporate into our daily lives. This book has both.
We are also fortunate that we can mind most, if not all, of the ingredients locally, even many spices here on Amazon if need be! And with a little extra time we can adjust the recipes by dosha per the recommendations at the end of each recipe so that every dosha can enjoy them.
The meals are "approachable" and I want to try them because they look delicious. I thought I might have some troubles with all the new spices or flavors, but I think that this is a great introduction to the food and variety in Ayurveda.
Good cook book if you are looking to try something new, or begin Ayu. I think bringing new balance to your diet is a good thing, and this might be just the ticket.
Enjoy!
