(More customer reviews)In all the 10 years that I have been cooking I have not found another book that has vegetarian recipes interpreted the Palghat (Kerala)way! 'Samayal' gives these recipes and much more in a very easy way. The calorie chart after each recipe makes it more interesting.
My mom who is an excellent cook jotted down a few of the recipes that she thought I would try and learn. But this book has made it so simple for me that I need not them learn anywhere else. These days my husband loves what I make and the photographs make it more tantalising.
I would highly recommend this book to a novice interested in learning these cuisines (Palghat and Tanjore)!

Nominated as runner up for The Best Vegetarian Cookbook, this book comes with a free ayurvedic booklet. This little treasure book contains inputs on the great science of healing with some gems of recipes handed down through generations from the sacred lands of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Ayurveda originally took roots in Kerala and the Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala pioneered ayurvedic treatment with medicinal herbs and a vegetarian diet that is most healthy. It characterises a life without ailments. For a Hindu vegetarian there is a strong moral belief that all life is sacred and killing amounts to violence. Hence the choice of food determines their way of life. In ayurvedic language 'the body is the temple of a man's inner being' So that which we worship cannot be killed.
