I'm not even sure how I came across this book because I have never heard of her but I am so glad I did. I have studied Ayurveda casually for decades and find it wonderfully adaptable and definitely life-changing, but the traditional suggestions for an Ayurvedic diet were so heavy on dairy and grains I always found that element to be out of touch. Like the author, I was once a raw vegan for a long time and it was helpful initially, since I'm a Pitta and lived in a hot dry climate, but over time it just weakened my digestion and of course, disaster ensued. I experimented a lot over the years with various ways of eating and food prep and recently realized that for my best health it's all about alkalinity and avoiding inflammation. That's honestly something everyone could benefit from but I'll stick to my own story for the sake of objectivity and authenticity.
First, I am struck by how beautiful this book is. As a lifelong bibliophile I loathe paperbacks and was delighted to see this as a hardcover book and quite affordable. The pages are a heavy duty matte finish, which is lovely to the touch and will no doubt prove more durable with frequent use over time. The aesthetic value of this book cannot be overstated, either. Even the layout and presentation of the text only pages is lovely and makes it all easy to skim or flip through for specific information, though this book is a treasure trove of useful and applicable information so you'll want to read it cover to cover.
The recipes are lovely and very straightforward. There is some initial investment in some things you might not have on hand (like Ashwaganda or Shatavari) but they are not expensive and can be easily obtained online or at health food stores and it is well worth the adaptation. These are meals, snacks and beverages which are meant to be pleasing to the palate, easy to create and deeply healing. I absolutely love that. As she comes from a raw food background as well, this is the first Ayurvedic book I have seen which addresses that and makes room for including that in your life. You don't have to be fully raw to benefit from those foods and you don't have to give up all raw foods to incorporate Ayurveda into your life. I personally find that during the hot summer months, including more cooling raw dishes is the perfect path to keeping my fiery, acidic Pitta constitution happy but during the cold winter months I limit uncooked foods to some fresh fruits and creative salads with healing homemade dressings. So you can see that Ayurveda is also quite intuitive and remarkably easy to adapt to your body type (dosha), climate, season, age and current state of health and this book will make it very easy for anyone, even someone totally new to Ayurveda, to flow with this ancient way of living which offers so much timeless wisdom.
As a 30+ year yoga practitioner (and 13+ year teacher) who has been fascinated by Ayurveda as a sister science for a long time, I find this beautiful, lovingly-created book to be an invaluable resource. I offer my deepest gratitude to Sahara Rose for the passion and creativity she poured into this offering.

This is a book of self-love!
This books is a true treasure! Sahara Rose’s essence really comes through as well as her deep selfless desire to help others. It’s engaging because she relays things in layman’s terms, and her personality and spirit come through with her personal journey to optimal health. I literally received it today and it is living up to all of my expectations. It will be in my purse for a while because I am now in the school of Eat Feel Fresh.I am a stage 3 cancer survivor seven years out now. I did a cleanse with holistic doctors in 2014 and they set my body on track which it had just never been at. I got off course with my eating habits and my body and soul have been calling out for me to get back on track. And the universe sends me this book, no coincidence!I literally vibe with books or not and this one from the onset was calling my name. Not only is it a beautiful work of art but the content is amazing. She breaks things down for us like the essence of Ayurveda and how it relates to yoga , how the book modernizes Ayurveda, the Doshas and how to know which one you are, alkalinity in the body and foods, the chakras, and so much more! There are even healing mantras, (my heart jumped for joy with this one)!What gets even better are the recipes! They are amazing, and encompassing of global cuisines! This is trés important for me as I LOVE food and consider myself a foodie at heart! My love of eating is what got me off my course on healthy eating as I need variety and excitement for my taste buds. The ingredients are easy to find and there are plenty of tips to make things easy. Everything from sauces, pesto, desserts, drinks, soups, bowls, curries, and more. Some of the recipes that I’m so looking forward to making:*Lebanese Lentil Bowl*Bento Box Sushi Bowl*Chakra Soups*Roasted Cauliflower and Lentil Tacos*Plant-Based Pho*Sweet Potato Lentil Shepherd’s Pie*Raw Rose and Pistachio CheesecakeEeeek, so excited!!!!I’m starting this Saturday with the Chai pancakes as I already have all the ingredients!This is the cookbook for these new times of higher awareness and consciousness. Getting it is definitely a step in the right direction to alignment of mind body and spirit.
