Heaven's banquet was written as a result of Miriam Kasin Hospodar's twenty-year culinary journey to cook using Ayurvedic principles. The book was written with the support of the Maharishi Ayur-Veda Institute,
“A rare cookbook—one that inspires you to read it, use it, and
share it with others—presented in the context of India's ancient
health science of Ayurveda. Its effects will remain in the mind and
body long after food has been enjoyed at the table. This is an
ideal book to help demystify Ayurvedic cooking.”—Yamuna Devi,
author of Yamuna's Table, Lord Krishna's Cuisine: The Art of Indian
Vegetarian Cooking, and The Vegetarian Table, India
"Packed with an astonishing variety of recipes, placed in a global
context of cultures, histories and literatures, knit together by
the author's thoughtful commitment to the Ayurvedic dietary system
that defines health as that which brings body and mind together.
Any system that recommends "Eating for Bliss" is worth exploring in
some detail.”—Betty Fussell, author of I Hear America Cooking and
Home Bistro
“Hospodar's heartfelt book is robust, bursting with information and
zest.”—Sue Bender, author of Plain and Simple and Everyday
Sacred
"Offers the kind of cooking wisdom and inspirational recipes that
even I—a reluctant cook at the best of times—will turn to again and
again.”—Jennifer Hawthorne, co-author of Chicken Soup for the
Woman's Soul I and II," and Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul
“Resplendent with palate-pleasing recipes, Hospodar has cooked up a
fascinating feast for nourishing mind and body. This is a must-read
for everyone who wants a deeper, more balanced relationship to
food, and a personalized approach to perfect health.”—Deborah
Kesten, award-winning author of Feeding the Body, Nourishing the
Soul
“A masterful integration of ancient wisdom and modern culinary
science. Beautifully written with humor and compassion, Heaven's
Banquet shows us how to make our kitchens a source for health and
healing. It is a must for every kitchen.”—Harold H. Bloomfield,
M.D., bestselling author of Healing Anxiety Naturally
