Author Description

In this book are over 90 of Patrick's favorite vegetarian recipes. Being vegetarian for close to 25 years, and with more than 20 years of experience teaching yoga, it was time to share some the insights and knowledge of his life experiences. This book only includes recipes that Patrick makes on a regular basis, with no recipes that are 'one time experiments', or recipes that 'aren't good enough' to make part of his way of life will be found in this book. With the priority of having the foods he eats 'taste good, ' the reader will find no recipes that have tofu or other 'healthy but not tasteful' recipes to the author's personal taste. As all teaching is about exposing new ideas, the reader of this book will have the opportunity to find some insights into their personal way of life in the area of diet and cooking abilities. As the author has taken consideration and understanding of different cultures in their technique and style of cooking, with the realization that there's a reason traditional recipes have lasted for generations, as these are the best vegetarian recipes from these countries. Whether it be in commonly used ingredients, or a basic and fundamental approach to the order in which the ingredients are added, the author hopes to improve the readers' cooking abilities as well as learn to cook to each persons' individual taste. With attention to detail being the essential component differentiating something from being OK to exceptional, the recipes have been given that extra effort for the less experienced home cook to make these improvements. This is a noticeable aspect of Patrick's life in all his efforts, obviously this is so in all his teaching, and unquestionably in his yoga practice.
