Simple Recipes for Joy by Sharon Gannon

Incredible plant-based recipes from the world-renowned founder of the Jivamukti yoga method and the Jivamuktea Caf .

Since 1984, Jivamukti yoga has been synonymous with a new way of living: peacefully, healthfully, and consciously. In 2006, Sharon Gannon and David Life opened the Jivamuktea Caf in New York City to complement their yoga school as a living expression of how compassionate spiritual activism can be put to practical use. The peaceful ambience, the camaraderie, and, most of all, the delicious, hearty fare struck a chord with patrons who were thrilled to eliminate meat and dairy from their diets without sacrificing taste.

Gannon reveals the secrets behind the caf 's acclaimed menu and showcases her own home-cooking, with recipes she's been making for family and friends for decades--from Creamy Wild Mushroom Soup, to Cajun-Mexican-inspired Jambalaya, to her signature chocolate mousse. Her recipes are paired with gorgeous color photos by award-winning photographer Frank Guzman. The hardcover is featured in Rachael Ray's 2015 Go Vegan Guide and was named a Best Fall Cookbook by Well + Good. Whether you're a stalwart vegan or one of the millions of people who eat vegan part-time for health and environmental benefits, Gannon's accessible, delicious, and spiritually powerful recipes will bring joy to your table and tranquillity to your life.

Sharon Gannon is altering people's perceptions of spirituality, life, themselves, others, animals, and the environment. She co-founded the Jivamukti Yoga system with David Life, a road to enlightenment through compassion for all beings. Shri Brahmananda Saravati, Swami Nirmalananda, and Sri K. Saravati, her teachers, blessed her. Pattabhi Jois is a pioneer in the field of spiritual activism through yoga. The Jivamukti Yoga practice emphasizes vegetarianism as a basic value.
