According to Ayurveda, the ancient Indian wellness practice for a good life, whole and fresh sattvic foods offer both energy and balance through subtle flavors. Yogendra breaks down sattvic cooking for millennials, describing the fine art of calibrating the six rasas or flavors to suit individual body types, as well as different seasons. Fruits, vegetables, sprouted grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, honey, and jaggery all fall into the sattvic foods category, but sattvic eating is really all about moderation. Mitahara (Sanskrit for sweet or pleasant foods) and foods that are sautéed or fried in healthy oils are not taboo, if you know how to use them correctly. If you’re looking for a handful of easy sattvic recipes to try out, along with nutritional information, this is the book to pick up.

“Twitty makes the case that Blackness and Judaism coexist in beautiful harmony, and this is manifested in the foods and traditions from both cultures that Black Jews incorporate into their daily lives…Twitty wishes to start a conversation where people celebrate their differences and embrace commonalities. By drawing on personal narratives, his own and others’, and exploring different cultures, Twitty’s book offers important insight into the journeys of Black Jews.”—Library Journal
“A fascinating, cross-cultural smorgasbord grounded in the deep emotional role food plays in two influential American communities.”—Booklist
The James Beard award-winning author of the acclaimed The Cooking Gene explores the cultural crossroads of Jewish and African diaspora cuisine and issues of memory, identity, and food.
In Koshersoul, Michael W. Twitty considers the marriage of two of the most distinctive culinary cultures in the world today: the foods and traditions of the African Atlantic and the global Jewish diaspora. To Twitty, the creation of African-Jewish cooking is a conversation of migrations and a dialogue of diasporas offering a rich background for inventive recipes and the people who create them.
The question that most intrigues him is not just who makes the food, but how the food makes the people. Jews of Color are not outliers, Twitty contends, but significant and meaningful cultural creators in both Black and Jewish civilizations. Koshersoul also explores how food has shaped the journeys of numerous cooks, including Twitty’s own passage to and within Judaism.
As intimate, thought-provoking, and profound as The Cooking Gene, this remarkable book teases the senses as it offers sustenance for the soul.
Koshersoul includes 48-50 recipes.
