Through centuries, great masters of science and philosophy have interpreted and defined life in myriad ways. According to Ayurveda, ayu or life is an orchestra of body, senses, mind and soul. For sweet music to flow, the body and the senses have to be nurtured in a way that they take care of the mind and soul. Balance, moderation and compatibility are the grand conductors of this heavenly orchestra that steer life away from sickness and suffering, thus leading to a well-lived life of happiness and contentment, or Sukham Ayu.

You are what you eat, claims the popular adage. Add to this the knowledge that what you need to eat is not elaborate menus with unavailable and exotic ingredients, but simple home cooked food using regional and seasonal availables that suit your constitution. This is the quintessence of an Ayurvedic diet in a nutshell.

This collection of recipes consists of daily, simple, vegetarian dishes that all Indian homes are familiar with. A closer look will reveal the fine thread of Ayurvedic insights binding them together, for what makes food healthy and ‘Ayurvedic’ is proper combinations, compatibility and methods of cooking. Thus, these recipes have been included with a clear focus on freshly cooked food, on the correct use of spices to enhance taste and good health, on the right combinations that make them tridoshik, or ‘agreeable to all doshas’.

Slight variations and unobtrusive additions and deletions to daily home cooking, along with Ayurvedic insights, make these recipes worth trying.

Customer Reviews of Sukham Ayu

Review by Aruna:

Friday 02 April, 2010

We are what we eat. In the fast paced life, we have lost touch with our roots and age old wisdom that has been passed down the ages from Mother to daughter. Tradional cooking habits were developed according to the region, environmental conditions etc. "Sukham Ayu" is an excellent book for someone who wish to benefit from this vast ocean of traditional knowledge. Presented in uncomplicated fashion, easy to comprehend and practical for everyday usage, this is a must for everyone who wish to cook keeping in mind the ayurvedic insights. The books’s subtitle “Cooking at Home with Ayurvedic insights” is so appropriate. It makes the tenets of Ayurveda easy to follow in your home with ingredients to be found in most Indian kitchens.

Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
