Find out how easy it is to use Ayurveda in the kitchen. These recipes use the power of taste alone to restore and maintain balance in your mind and body.
Ayurveda identifies six tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, astringent, and pungent which affect each of us differently. We all have different preferences for these tastes based on our unique mind-body type, which you can find out from the questionnaire, and choose dishes to balance your type.
Tastes act upon the three controlling principles called the three doshas, which make the primary and secondary mind-body types, and one’s dietary preferences. The three primary types are: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Vata types tend to be thinner and have a fast metabolism, Pitta types are medium build & competitive, and Kapha types are bigger build with a slower metabolism, so need exercise.
In this book, there are Spice Mix recipes for Vata, Pitta and Kapha which offer a simple and quick way to prepare tasty meals that balance the doshas. Each Spice Mix provides all 6 tastes, except salt, which lead to feeling satisfied and nourished. You won’t feel the need to nibble.

To give you an indication, some of the ingredients used in the Spice Mixes include ginger, turmeric, coriander, cumin & cinnamon.
