I think the recipes are great (I even liked the guidance to do a detox cleanse). The challenge I found - for me, at least - is that Ayurveda is a really complicated concept. There are probably a lot of people who are more "typical" than me, but after doing the quiz inside several times, I decided I was a Vata with a Kapha imbalance; the advice to reduce Kapha conflicted with the vata maintenance, so I was just confused. I don't think everyone would make it this difficult, but I think I would need some more specific help and not the generic info Anand provides to attempt to balance oneself. It has potential, but not everyone will be able to immediately follow it (or ever).
I have this habit of copying recipes I like from cookbooks I borrow into a Try-This Cookbook. However, I found myself unable to as there was just so much information to record (modifying recipes for each dosha, then being prepared for changing dosha balances and/or the doshas of others). I really think this is a book that, if you are going to sincerely try, you have to own the book. So, the question: is it worth buying? Ultimately, I have put it on a wishlist and mentioned it as an idea for the next gift-giving holiday. I would accept it as a gift, but I decided to get her other cookbook instead when spending my own money; you have to feel prepared and like you understand the plan, but I did not. One day, possibly.
EDIT: I bought it when it went on sale. I struggle with the Ayurveda but, simply as a cookbook, I rather enjoy it.… (plus d'informations)
