Straightforward explanations of ayurvedic principles and great recipes for implementation

I realize that no book can replace an in-person evaluation from an ayurvedic practitioner, but this book is very straightforward and includes explanations of the basic principles of ayurvedic living and then provides clear dietary guidance through its recipes. I have recently adopted a vegetarian and mostly vegan lifestyle (not wanting to consume any cholesterol), and this book helped to provide guidance in maintaining a balanced approach to eating. I will be trying a lot of the recipes based upon my doshas and will be keeping track of whether my results are in keeping with the guidance provided in the book. I figure that a dietary approach that is centuries in the making is bette than trying random, popular diets that focus not on the content of what you eat, but the quantity / number of calories consumed. I love Indian food in general (though I tone down the heat on many of the recipes I prepare, eliminate dairy and reduce fat content). This cookbook provides excellent recipes for doing just that. A definite keeper cookbook!
