Everyday Ayurveda Cooking for a Calm, Clear Mind: 100 Simple Sattvic Recipes

I absolutely loved this book. The recipes are all perfect for someone with any health challenge including my problem with kidney disease. I am able to use all these recipes for continued health and healing. The book is laid out beautifully. So happy that I purchased this book.

I'd forgotten that I had ordered Kate's book and so it was like Christmas when it arrived in my mailbox. I loved Kate's first book, but have to admit that I have fallen even more in love with this new book already. I'm devouring it. I LOVE the Ayurvedic perspectives on food and the mind put in such a useful and easy format for both those of us who are practitioners as well as laymen seeking healthy food choices to support the mind. I find this especially useful in this age of wild minds, complicated and unhealthy diets and trends, and the deep disconnection from our food. Kate keeps it simple, straightforward, and understandable. The recipes and format is uncomplicated and easy to use. Thank you Kate for another amazing book.

This book is changing my relationship with my mind, body, spirit and food! I fell in love with Kate's first book but this one seals the deal. Kate O'Donnell is brilliant and I'd invite her in my home any day...for one of her meals ;) She offers a simple, yet informative and intuitive way to understand, embrace and take action to create a soothing relationship with food...soothing for you mind, body and spirit. I will cherish this book for many, many years and share it with others. I know she may not want to hear it...but I can't wait until her next cookbook! Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world Kate!

I received this beautiful gift for Christmas and I have wanted to write a review for some time. Author Kate O'Donnell has put together much more than a delicious cookbook. I have learned so much and am much more intune with my body thanks to her knowledge of ayurveda that she shares. Over this last year I have incorporated into my life many of her suggestions. I feel lighter, happier more balanced. I have always eaten healthy but still had some significant, nagging health issues not knowing what more could I do. Well just at the perfect time I ran across this book. Finally, after many years, this is what I needed. A cookbook that I received at the same time "Eat feel fresh" by Sahara Rose Ketabi is also filled with Ayurvedic recipes and information. I have found these two books compliment each other. If you are interested in ayurveda I can't recommend enough these two books. And they are beautiful as well!

The messages at the beginning of the book are very helpful, and some of the recipes that I've made thus far are good, except for the "baked" dessert-type recipes that call for coconut oil. The oil dominates every other taste in the dish. I still recommend it, however.

This is a wonderful cookbook with a perfect blend of teaching and recipes. She writes about Ayurvedic principles in a way that is supportive, not preachy or dogmatic, but encouraging and doable. The recipes are delicious and easy to make; even my non-ayurvedically inclined family in joins them.

I just bought the Kindle version of this book and am delighted to find it full of fairly simple recipes that don’t use too many ingredients. The explanation of the Ayurvedic basis on which the author has arranged the recipes is also very clear. I know I will be cooking from this book in the months to come and recommend it for others who are interested in plant based eating and Ayurvedic theory.

If in doubt, or even if you're not really thinking about getting this at all, get this book. It's the most usable, simple and most importantly tremendously wise modern Ayurvedic book I've come across to date (in addition to the next book about the Gunas) and has been an incredibly helpful tool in understanding and applying Ayurvedic health principles into my life. I've gotten this for so many family members and recommended it to friends. A pleasureable, inspiring and beautiful book about about how to put Ayurvedic principles into practice. I know my health has benefited from this in many ways

I bought this book after attending a workshop with Kate. I love this book, the introduction about Ayurveda and the sattvic lifestyle guidelines are easy to follow and the recipes are quick and delicious

This is a great book, if you are trying to approach to ayurveda and the dishes it make easy to understand and the recipes are easy to follow.

Leckere und einfache Rezepte, die trotzdem super und raffiniert schmecken. Viel Hintergrundwissen im Buch.

Ayurveda made simple and easy to follow - great simple recipes for all occasions that work. Many books I have read are way too complicated and confusing - this one isnt.

It is a shame that she doesn’t specify more about the doshas and which recipe is better for vata or pitta or kapha
