While studying philosophy in college, Eileen Keavy Smith
became interested in Eastern philosophy and religions, meditation,
and yoga. She went on to earn a Master's Degree in library and
information studies and has been a librarian for over 30 years,
during which time she has spent most of her career managing
libraries that specialize in health subjects and working with
colleagues who are health professionals.
In the late 1980s, Smith attended a meditation conference, where
she was introduced to the concept of Ayurveda--the ancient Indian
system of holistic health care. She has been studying the subject
and applying it to her life ever since. The Quick & Easy Ayurvedic
Cookbook is the result of Smith's strong interest in nutrition and
cooking and her desire to share insights about how to apply this
healthful Eastern philosophy to modern lifestyles and tastes. Smith
lives in Tallahassee, Florida with her husband Rob (who teaches
meditation in his spare time) and their three canine companions.
