Eat feel fresh: a contemporary, plant-based ayurvedic cookbook

Modern take on Ayurveda

I have read many books on Ayurveda but this one is my favourite by far! Although it doesn’t go super deep into Ayurvedic philosophy it gives you the essence of it in a beautiful and easy to understand way. After that she has wonderful recipes with pictures that pop off the page and actually inspire you to make them. Many Ayurvedic books are great but they have you searching everywhere to find the right foods and taste that go together. Sahara has done a wonderful job at taking out all the complexities of this, making it so easy to eat in an Ayurvedic way. She also is mixing Ayurveda with a modern day approach creating meals that have flavours from all over the world instead of sticking to the native foods in India, making this book more practical for all! On top of this, she makes Ayurveda modern by altering her recommendations for this day and age. One example of many is now she is recommending mushrooms as modern research has discovered the many medicinal benefits of them, in traditional Ayurveda they didn’t recommend mushrooms as many that were picked back then were posinous! The changes like this are necessary for bringing Ayurveda to the 21st century and for bringing Ayurveda to all! We are truly blessed to have Sahara make this book, and on top of this, it is probably the most beautiful book I have ever bought! This books seems to be a labour a love and I have nothing but love for this book and everyone I show it to seems to say the same!

I am overjoyed with this cookbook. The recipes are not complicated, and I was able to find all the ingredients at my local Indian grocery store in Europe. Sahara Rose Ketabi is steeped in knowledge that she imparts in an easy to understand way. I am completely new to Ayurveda and after eating for my dosha for only a week, my digestive issues have cleared up. But the best part IMO is how gorgeous the book is, and how wonderful the matte pages inside feel. Also the size and weight. It's not too big or heavy. It's absolutely perfect. The pages are beautifully illustrated and colorful with fantastic photos of the food. I cannot recommend this enough, it's my #1 favorite cookbook!

The book is very interesting and informative, as well as colorful. I have tried a good amount of the recipes and overall it tastes good. I have noticed that some of her measurements are off. For example, I follow it precisely but noticed some things are not mixed how it should be (ex: maybe too watery). Also, I have not noticed any evidence that Ayurveda works, just that it tastes good. I made a Moroccan recipe, then went to Morocco a month later and it tasted almost nothing like the country, like way, way, way off. But she does mention that this is her own spin on things. So overall I liked the book for taste and fun but not sure how accurate it was.

Libro molto interessante ricco non solo di ricette ma di informazioni sull'Ayurveda. Molto bello anche esteticamente

I understood myself much better than I thought I do. I resonated with each and every word of this book. I used to think eating raw vegetables will solve all issues I have with my digestion and overall health. But when I used to follow that diet I used to start looking malnutritioned and loose excess fat. I was just racing against the waves. Never knew what exactly my body needed. Unhealthy eating patterns was a norm.I felt every page speaking to me like “hey, that’s how it is and that’s how you can heal”.Can’t thank enough, Sahara Rose for existing and sharing her ancient wisdom with us. I believe whoever finds this book be transformed into her highest self ✨
