This book is your companion to living a vibrantly rich and well-nourished life. Guiding you through an arc of a year, you’ll learn you how to stay in harmony with the different cycles of the day, the moon, and the seasons. Within each seasonal chapter, you’ll explore different yoga practices, rituals, and recipes that support the dominant dosha of the season. Spring focuses on balancing kapha, Summer focuses on soothing pitta, and the Fall and Winter sections explore ways to nourish vata. Conscious cooking is one of the quickest ways to balance the doshas and connect with nature. The simple, everyday recipes in this book highlight seasonal ingredients and tastes to nourish the doshas and support your digestion. This isn’t your standard vegetarian cookbook. Each season’s recipes use specific ingredients that highlight the six tastes and bring balance to the related dosha focus of the season. Claire's hope is you get playful in the kitchen, connect with the sensual experience of cooking and eating, and have fun with it! Read more about Living Ayurveda

Ingredients You Need for Crispy Okra [Vegan]
How to Prepare Crispy Okra [Vegan]
- In a small bowl, combine the spices and salt. Wash and trim off the tops of the okra. Pat dry to remove any excess moisture and prevent oil splatter in the hot pan.
- Slit each okra lengthwise to create a pocket where the spices will be stuffed into. With a spoon, stuff each okra with about 1/4 teaspoon of the spice blend. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet with oil on medium-high heat. Arrange the okra on the pan and fry for 2–3 minutes on each side. Turn the okra a few times to cook on all sides, cooking until tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
- Transfer to a plate and squeeze a bit of fresh lime juice over top.
- Serve hot.
