I didn't leave the Left - the Left left me. No, I won’t go to your march. I won’t be your token Jew chanting ‘From the river to the sea’. Fuck you. No, I won’t call Israel’s bombing in Gaza a ‘genocide’. Yes, I agree that Netanyahu’s a fascist. No, that doesn’t mean that he’s a ‘Nazi’. If Israel wanted to slaughter Gazans wholesale in concentration camps, it could have done it by now. How dare you talk to me about genocide.
Quick Cookbook Review/ The Ayurveda Kitchen/ Anne Heigham
I have been hanging around Ayurveda people for decades. Going to courses and conferences, reading books and integrating what I can into my life. Ayurveda is a vast vast field, and I am knowledgeable about it in only the general sense. But I have met and heard such luminaries as Vasant Lad, Robert Svoboda and Claudia Welch. I love going to Ayurvedic conferences in India - it is all way above me, the specialised stuff, but boy you hear some tales. And see remarkable stuff with your own eyes (some things Vasant Lad does, man oh man).
One of the areas that Ayurveda particularly pervades is the Kitchen. A newish (2021), delightful and simple book is on the market. It is a gentle introduction to using Ayurveda in your kitchen. It includes an extensive introduction to Ayurveda, a medicine cabinet full of herbal tonics, and recipes suitable for any experience level. And the recipes are GOOD, surprising so. They remind me a little of Maya Tiwari's recipes in her books, but they are less focused on Indian-style dishes.
It is a well laid out book, pretty indeed with its colourings. Recommended for anyone interested in learning about Ayurveda (it is much more easily consumed than Vasant's books 😄)
