About

First and foremost this is a cookbook – albeit with a difference! – so feel free to flick through the host of breakfast, lunch, supper and snack ideas inspired by my travels. You will begin to feel the vibe of Ayurvedic philosophies through the ingredients, terminology and recipe introductions that tell the story of the recipes and how they came about. Or you can start at the beginning.

My mission with East by West is to introduce the way of Ayurveda and impart a deeper understanding of its principles and styles. For example, why milk and sugar, which have become the outcasts of modern health philosophies, can be good and nourishing in their whole form when properly prepared, and why, according to ancient Ayurveda, animal foods such as bone broth and meat have a place in our diet.
