The sequel to Divya Alter' s hugely successful first cookbook What to Eat for How You Feel is an ingredient-driven must-have for plant-based kitchens. This indispensable kitchen companion takes the reader on a flavourful journey to a new, more personalised relationship with food. Chef Divya Alter pulls from her wealth of knowledge of Ayurvedic nutrition, sharing life-giving information on how to select and cook essential plant-based ingredients that are the right fit for the individual' s needs. The eighty globally inspired recipes empower the health-conscious cook to create delicious meals with a bonus: increased vitality, joy, and balance. Alter takes the relevant self-healing wisdom of the past and brings it forward by teaching us to delight, nourish, and heal, ingredient by ingredient, through flavourful meals such as sunflower-beet hummus, cream of fennel soup, adzuki bean and red lentil patties, asparagus pizza, and rose chocolate mousse. This book makes the reader want to be healthy, encouraging them to develop an intimate relationship with the grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and dairy that make up their meals.
"It' s rare to find a cookbook that successfully weaves together healing and nourishing ingredients with creative and uncomplicated recipes-Joy of Balance does it beautifully. This book is a guide to finding and maintaining the pleasure of good health and true vitality-I can' t wait to get into the kitchen with this book in hand. " -Amy Chaplin, James Beard Award-winning author of Whole Food Cooking Every Day "Divya does it again, combining the ancient wisdom and practice of Ayurveda with modern techniques and flavors to support the whole being. It is an honor to call her a friend and a food fighter in the movement of integrative and culinary medicine. People are hungry for change, and Divya is here to feed us. " -Chef Robert Graham, MD, MPH "What a beautiful way to eat! Divya helps you prepare plant-based meals that are not only flavorful, but healing for your body and in harmony with nature. " -Francine Jay, author of Lightly and The Joy of Less
