Pure Vegetarian: 108 Indian-Inspired Recipes to Nourish Body and Soul

Lakshmi Wennakoski-Bielicki, the creator of PureVege.com, creates food that is healthy, tasty, ethically sound, and spiritually serves as an offering of devotion.  Pure Vegetarian is an inspired vegetarian cookbook with more than one hundred recipes that meld yoga philosophy with mindful food preparation and delicious meals, any day, all year long.

Many of the recipes included in the Pure Vegetarian collection are influenced by Indian tradition but modified for the Western palate as Lakshmi encourages experimenting with favorite vegetables and seasonings to create fresh versions of familiar dishes.  The recipes are easily adapted to a vegan or gluten-free diet as well.
