The Higher Taste is brand new -- again! Sporting a new cover and new recipes, this Hare Krishna cooking classic has maintained its original format -- short and insightful. If you are not a vegetarian when you start to read The Higher Taste, you might well be when you finish. With contributions from Bhutatma Dasa, Kurma Dasa, Drutakarma Dasa and Mukunda Goswami, the book has been renovated from top to tail, including the recipe section. A practical guide to gourmet vegetarian cooking and an instruction book for a karma free diet, The Higher Taste also contains over 50 famous Hare Krishna recipes from varied cultures around the world. There are instructions for preparing a Latin American buffet, a Greek dinner, a Middle Eastern banquet, an Indian dinner, and more. The handy glossary describes some of the more exotic ingredients to help you find them at your local supermarket. Learn how to make koftas in tomato sauce, stuffed Italian flat bread, spinach risotto, Gauranga potatoes and a whole lot more. The Higher Taste is more than just a cookbook. It informs you about the ecological, economic and nutritional benefits of the vegetarian diet. It is also a very readable introduction to the philosophy and practice of vegetarianism. Discover the health and economic advantages, as well as the important ethical and spiritual considerations, of a Krishna conscious approach to diet and nutrition. In chapter six you will find excerpts from the writings of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada on subjects such as the physical effects of meat eating, animals' right to life, a diet to cure the disease of the soul, and many others. In further chapters you will learn about karma and reincarnation in regard to diet, and how vegetarianism has a higher spiritual dimension that can help us develop love for God. The Higher Taste will teach you how to dramatically change your life by changing the way you eat.
