Pretty book with not much depth
Great photos...maybe some interesting positioning of Indian names totally out of place on occasion with the photos and the food that complimented it and the names.
I was pretty confused. I am from India, living here in US now and was hoping for more recipes adapted for the daily lifestyle here but it seemed more like a memoir of a personal journey of discovery through food and photography.
I grew sad a little. It’s an attempt to take something raw, honest, meaningful and useful science and turn it into something glamorous and failing at it.
There are so many wonderful receipies from India if there was any real time spent in the kitchen to adapt for a contemporary take. Honor and respect to the knowledge that Ayurveda brings as a whole system is totally lost. I am not sure if the reader can arrive at a method to adapt what is shared for him/her in daily cooking.
