Food for Vitality and Fitness.
'Healthy Indian Kitchen' shows how healthy Indian food can be. It reveals the Ayurvedic principles behind Indian cuisine and explains how to choose the right foods to eat, selected for their overall nutritive properties, which ingredients to combine and the best methods of cooking.
Ayurvedic practitioners believe that the colours of food can indicate their health values - so, for example, carrots' orange hue reveals them to be a source of warm energy that builds immunity.
In this book, recipes are displayed on colour-coded pages that reflect the properties of their key ingredient, making the book a rainbow of rich colours as bright as the food and spice stalls at an Indian bazaar.
Written by a leading writer on Indian cuisine, this is a definitive guide to Indian eating for greater wellbeing. With over 100 healthy and nutritious recipes to choose from, all of which are quick and easy to prepare, this is more than just a cookbook, it is a holistic mind-body health resource on eating for better living.
