An

inspired vegetarian cookbook with 108 recipes inflected with the

practices of Ayurveda and mindfulness practices derived from a bhakti

yogic lifestyle.

Food is so

much more than nourishment for the body, and health is not just a

results-oriented goal. Lakshmi Wennakoski-Bielicki, the creator of

PureVege.com, creates food that is healthy, tasty, ethically sound, and

spiritually resonant- it is an offering of devotion. To Lakshmi, a

vegetarian diet is simply the practical starting point on the path

toward a more mindful life. Pure Vegetarian melds yoga philosophy with mindful food preparation and delicious meals, any day, all year long.

You do not need to practice yoga or Ayurveda to find these recipes

accessible, delicious, and divine.

Many of the 108 recipes are

influenced by Indian tradition but modified for the Western palate.

Lakshmi encourages experimenting with favorite vegetables and seasonings

to create fresh versions of familiar classics- spelt crackers with

hummus, strawberry halva, fig tart with frozen pecan pudding. The

recipes are easily adapted to a vegan or gluten-free diet as well.

Recipes include-

Homemade cheeses, yogurt, buttermilk, and other organic dairy products

Fresh-baked Indian-style flatbreads and snacks

Wholesome legume and rice dishes, packed full of seasonal vegetables for hearty meals year-round

Fragrant spice blends to accent all kinds of sweet and savory dishes

Salads, sprouts, chutneys, and sauces to flavor any meal

Sweet desserts, confections, and refreshing drinks to satisfy any palate
