Ayurveda for Women: The Power of Food as Medicine with Recipes for Health and Wellness

(Wife writing this review) I absolutely love this book. The ingredients are simple, the recipes are easy to follow and understand. The forward was written so beautifully. Those two pages alone are worth the price of the book- full of wisdom, they capture the feeling of living in a busy, fast paced world- as well as how to find ourselves again. I was nervous about purchasing this book because most cookbooks are full of recipes with ingredients I've never even heard of and the recipes are always complicated- I opened this book and was so pleasantly surprised at how doable this will be, she breaks everything down and gives so many options for each recipe depending on the season and personal tastes- even the feel of the cover of this book is perfect- it's a wonderfully thick, soft paperback. This book is going to be well used over the years and I plan to purchase a copy for all the women in my family and I've already texted the link to all of my friends. I read nearly the entire thing in one sitting- even the recipes- I actually read it all, planning out menus and taking notes..... if you clicked on the book to open this page- just go ahead and purchase it- you will love it!

Excellent book with delicious recipes. More to think about what we eat and how it can heal or hurt us.

I refer to this book all the time. It is well thought out and well laid out. Gives an overview of Ayurvedic principles and then lots of recipes to promote better health and well being. I combine these recipes with the list of foods my doctor says to include in my diet (making adjustments for foods avoid) and now I feel healthier than I have in a long time. Having recipes made all the difference. This book was a real game changer for me.

This would make a nice gift. I bought this for I wanted more recipes for my dosha. Nice book, shares info on different ailments women may go through in life and how to address them. Beautifully done!

There is so much I love about this book it’s hard to know where to start. You will find information on Ayurvedic principles for healthy living, sample menus and easy to-follow recipes, and remedies for common female complaints and conditions. Emily’s background in Eastern and Western medicine as well as the culinary arts provides a unique and authoritative perspective. The book is beautifully designed. You can read it front to back or jump in to topics of particular interest. You will cherish this book for its wisdom and guidance.

I love the recipes and information, however, I feel a little bit misled by making this purchase. I didn’t realize it was solely more of a cookbook than information about Ayurveda and women’s health. While I will definitely use the recipes, I thought there would be more in-depth content regarding Ayurvedic practices for Health. I would call this a cookbook in some capacity on the front cover so it’s clear that you won’t be learning as much as getting a bunch of recipes. While it does say “with recipes for health and wellness,” on the front cover, that seems like those would be a bonus. Not the chunk of the book.

Gifted for my sister. She loved it. Got her creative in her cooking and she loved that there was a test

The recipes I’ve made so far are easy and make my tummy (and myself) feel sooo happy.It’s nicely organized as well to find recipes for a specific ailment or time of the year.Love this cookbook!
