Great Gift!

I gave this to my college-age vegetarian daughter as a gift. She was thrilled. So, in case you have a young vegetarian on your gift list, rest assured this is "very cool."

worth having

So, I have to admit...when I picked this book up, it was to giggle a bit at the photos. But when I started to peruse the recipes, I realized I had to have the book. If you are vegetarian (or, like me, just don't eat a ton of meat), you likely already keep most of the ingredients as staples and buy the rest on a fairly regular basis. Perhaps you will even find something you always wanted to try, but never knew how to make edible--mine was quinoa. The recipies are diverse, creative, and easy to prepare (there is a "Special Occasions" section for time or labor intensive foods). Best of all, everything actually works! Several of the recipes have become standards for me, and every time I flip through I find something else I want to try. And, yes, I still occasionaly find myself laughing at the pictures.

Simply delicious!

I am extremely pleased with this book. A yoga instructor told me to check it out and I decided to buy it after reading the other review here. The recipes are well written and there is a lot of variey as well. So far, I have made the Louisiana Gumbo and the Southern Style Gravy with Sesame Biscuits - and both turned out amazing! I like the menu suggestions in the back and am anxious to try more of the recipes. If everything continues to turn out like the previous recipes, I may have a favorite new cookbook!

My New Favorite Cookbook

As a relatively new vegetarian, I have recently purchased many cookbooks. This one has become my favorite by far! I have tried recipes from all different sections, from appetizers to salads to main course and all but one have been delicious. As the only vegetarian in my household, I appreciate the recipes with fewer servings. Who would have thought that my non-vegetarian family would love Roasted Vegetable (Tofu) Quesadillas?!

This cookbook serves up a delicious combination of pleasurable dining, consicous energy, and cultural diversity. At the Shoshoni Yoga Retreat a bevy of good cooks, motivated by their yoga practice, create the heavenly food enjoyed by retreat guests. In Yoga Kitchen master chefs Faith Stone and Rachel Guidry present favorite meals of both the guests and staff. These recipes feature American comfort foods blended with the invigorating and unique flavors of Indian, southwestern, and continental traditions.

They also show how to apply the practice of mindfulness in the kitchen, cook with "shakti", and eat in harmony with the seasons. You'll learn about the principles of Ayurvedic cooking which are based in accordance of living in balance with nature. These recipes truly nourish both body and soul.

A sample menu is:
Breakfast
Wheat-free Multigrain Panckes with Blueberry Sauce
Fresh Fruit and Yogurt

LUNCH
Warm Beet and Carrot Salad with Fresh Mint
Fresh Spinach & Basil Pesto Stuffed Shells w/SavoryRed Sauce
Fresh Italian Herb and Roasted Garlic Foccacia
Almond Butter and Carob Chip Cookies
