 great pictures! bad recipes :(Nov 09, 2003
i really wanted to love this book. the pictures of the dishes throughout the book are amazing. this book does have some great info on yogic diet and fasting, but as i made a number of the dishes in this book i wondered if they really tested them out. the directions sometimes seem to leave out steps and/or ingredients, which makes it hard to follow. maybe i've just been unlucky with the recipes i've chosen over the last 6 months, but the what i've made from this book has not turned out (and i'm not a novice cook). it really is too bad that the recipes don't live up to the picture that go along with them.

 A Great Guide for Yogic cookingJul 07, 1999
It was high time for someone to write a book based on the principles of Yogic cooking. Being a Yoga Teacher myself and following the Yogic principles on eating sometimes students wonder how you can create great tasting dishes without onions, garlic, leeks, mushrooms, vinegar etc, now I can tell them just get this book. The recipies are visually well presented and easy to follow, there is something for everyone. I can heartily recommend this book to anyone interested in the practice of Yoga and a healthy vegetarian diet.

Beautiful pictures, great advice, interesting recipes!Apr 18, 1999
This book is marvelous. Most of the ingredients don't require a trip to a foreign country. The taste, amazing. This book also has a lot of information on yoga, if that is of your interest. It is mostly vegan. I'd say about 99%.

Simple and delicious recipesSep 23, 1999
I've been using this book for about 6 months. The simple, easy to follow recipes are all delicious, making use of the flavours of fresh ingredients in a subtle but very tantilising way. There is also a great variety of recipes; you would eat very well using only these. The colour photos are also mouth-watering, I just wish there were more of them.

Recipes are not great - missing steps, incorrect portions, etcAug 12, 2005
By Miss Jessica
I 100% agree with the last reviewer. I really REALLY wanted to like this book and to use it everyday. I have had nothing but problems trying to cook with this book. The steps are incredibly vauge, the amount for any particular ingrediant is out of proportion. I'm writing this review after attempting the banana-nut tart on pg 108. First of all, the amount of left-over mix for the crust is unbelievable - I could have cut the amount of ingrediants in half. There is no binder, so the whole thing fell apart. And the filling is just the same! I am a very experienced baker and cook, and I am so frustrated that this isn't working out! The pictures are gorgeous, and the information on diet is very helpful, but overall it is not worth your money. Sorry!
