I have two of Kurma Dasa's cookbooks and his cooking video series. He is a gifted cook with a deep knowledge of food and flavours. His recipes are delicious, they are easy to follow and the results are wonderful. There are a wealth of recipes for all occasions. I am still developing my cooking skills so it is wonderful to be able to cook and get tasty and healthy results. I have a very sensitive digestive system and have tried many different diet approaches over the last seven years. I now follow the wise Ayurvedic diet (food as medicine) because the spices and cooking methods make food easy to digest. This book is not specifically Ayurvedic but most recipes meet the approach. I highly recommend this book.
