Book Description
Back of the Book

South Indian Ashrams serve the finest cruelty free meals enjoyed anywhere and Kauai’s Hindu Monastery carries on the 6,000 year old tradition. They believe good food is humankind’s best medicine and there is an energy in their culinary contemplations called prana that nourished body and soul alike. Now the monks have shared their secret collection of recipes gathered over the year and perfected in the Island.
