Ayurveda, the 5,000-year-old healing tradition from India linked to the development of yoga, is based on the concept that one's physical, mental, and spiritual well-being comes from a number of sources, including a healthful diet based on one's individual constitution. Amrita Sondhi, author of The Modern Ayurvedic Cookbook, provides new Ayurvedic recipes inspired by the growing popularity of whole grains, raw foods, and locavore movements. The book is full-colour throughout.
