The Yoga Cookbook: Yoga Cookbook

The positive: I read the other reviews and I'm not sure if I like the recipes because I haven't really had vegetarian food before. I got this book because it was required in a college course. Sounds weird, I know, but it served a purpose. I've tried quite a few things from this book and I found a lot of recipes that I liked. As a final project in my class I made a variety of dishes and took them to class and the class really liked it too. I liked this book so much that when it was lost in a fire I ordered a new one!The negative: some of the recipes are time consuming and I do like a larger variety of spices, but I guess with this being a Sivananda book, some spices just are not used for specific reason.

As an omnivore, I don't really care how "yogic" this book may or may not be, and I'm a very casual, perhaps creative cook who doesn't bother much about measuring. That said, I got this book from the library and am now purchasing it as the recipes I tried gave new life to veggies in my house and everyone's happily asking for second helpings. Really interesting flavors and the kitchen smells divine! For days!I was inspired to try some recipes from regular Indian cookbooks, but found them too complex. This book is easy, useful, and makes me seem like a good cook. What more can you ask? You must try the delish sambar, made with lentils and veggies and a ton of spices. Love at first bite at our house where formerly the little darlings left legumes on the plate.I tried the oatmeal cookies but found the eggless butterless recipe too oily -- beautiful cookies though. An experienced baker would have known before making them that the recipe wasn't right for his or her taste.

I'm enjoying the recipes. Short and sweet with lots of tips and advice. Wish it had nutritional information included but it was written awhile ago.

one of my favorite cookbooks! I teach at the Sivananda ashrams Chair Yoga Teacher Trainings in CA and Bahamas so know firsthand how delicious the food is that is in here. It seems to be the ideal healthy diet for energy, vital health and well being, all while not harming animals.

I am not sure why other reviewers had problems with this book--I found it very easy and clear to use. The instructions are simple and easy to follow. The food looks like the pictures--if you want to present it with the garnishes etc.. I would recommend this book to anybody who wants to eat a healthier and more flavorful diet!!

I bought this as a gift and they told me they have gotten a great deal of usefull information from this book. Many good and healthy recipes.

This cookbook is a beautiful addition to my kitchen. The recipes are simple, easy, and delicious. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to eat in a clean, simple, delicious, and healthier way.

Love this book!

Love this book. Exactly what I needed as a recently turned vegetarian and yogi. Very informative, easy to follow, great variety of dishes. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to go deeper into their yoga practice.

I was really pleased with this cook book. It's full of interesting recipes suitable for vegetarians. The recipes are a mix of the expected and unique with many brilliant ideas. An interesting read if nothing else!!!

I have loved this cookbook for years, and had to get another after giving mine away. Just the sort of food you want that keeps you healthy.

I am learning every day about vegan diet and this book is a tremendous help.I can suggest it to anyone that wants to try the vegan challenge!

recopies are a bit too complicated.
