PREFACE
VEDIC COOKING
The ancient art of Vedic cooking is one of the main treatment arms of Ayur-veda, the system of health and medicine which has been developing in India for the last 5000 years. The goal of Ayur-veda is not only to obtain good health, but more importantly, to help the body and mind evolve to higher states of consciousness.
Ayur-veda teaches that each person is unique in their nutritional needs based upon specific imbalances and seasons of the year. The system or knowledge is simple. Only the reasons for specific individual imbalances vary, due to the fact that everyone is different. The knowledge of Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health programs takes these individual differences into account and raises one to the level of perfect health to enjoy the full dignity of life. This is why Vedic knowledge is necessary. Because the path and cure for any one individual is highly specific and personalized.
Vedic Cuisine A gourmet Guide for Bliss Consciousness, is a vegetarian Ayur-Vedic cookbook written by Scott Peterson. He has been a Gourmet Vegetarian cook for 20 years and has delighted meditation communities all around the world with his skills in the
kitchen. He studied Ayur-veda through Maharishi Vedic Science in India and is a teacher of the Transcendental Meditation Program as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Scott said "the reason for writing this cookbook is to bridge the knowledge of cooking and diet with self awareness and the evolution of consciousness".
