Compassionate Cuisine

Compassionate Cuisine is a milestone in nonviolent vegetarian literature. Put together in the late 1990s by celebrated five-star chef and 30-year yogini Vrnda Devi, both the author and this book have traveled far over the years and now to you. Here is the philosophy, loving rudiments and inspirational rules for caring about the animals, your family's health, and our fragile environment. With over 700 recipes Devi created and designed in the test kitchens of her upstate New York ashram and veggie food bank, this audiobook tells you how and, more importantly, why she did it. This was truly a labor of love, as she cooked freely for thousands, regularly fed the poor and homeless globally, and slowly unlocked the secrets of real vegetarian cuisine. There have been thousands of books of all stripes on the art of vegetarianism, but this was one of the very first. From beginning to end, this endeavor took over eight years of almost daily work. Today, Compassionate Cuisine is regularly used in vegetarian, vegan, and health food restaurants around the world. It has become a kind of bible of knowledge and care on the subject with Vrnda pretty much considered the mother of the vegetarian lifestyle in the United States and Europe. This is a book that tells you why and how. If you ever, even for a moment, thought about exploring the vegetarian alternative, this is the audiobook for you. Narrated by her husband, Sripad Jagannatha Das, this is a life-changing book brought to you by the love and care of a wonderful lady who showed the world the importance of compassion to all and the road to a healthier life. Vrnda lived, worked, and was trained in vegetarian cooking not only in India but also in Mexico, France, Italy, and her beloved Southern United States.
