SIMPLE RECIPES FOR JOY

Sharon Gannon

More Than 200 Delicious Vegan Recipes

Part vegan cookbook, part call to action, Simple Recipes for Joy reveals the delicious vegan recipes behind the brilliant menu at New York City's Jivamukti Yoga Center and Jivamuktea Cafe, from its founder, renowned yogini and animal rights activist Sharon Gannon, with beautiful 4-color photos throughout from both Jivamuktea Cafe and the Wild-Woodstock Farm Sanctuary.

Simple Recipes for Joy is a compelling, personal and moving elucidation of how to make the preparation and eating of food a component of your spiritual practice. In 1984, Sharon Gannon and David Life founded Jivamukti Yoga, a yoga method and center with highly skilled, dedicated instructors and a strong vegan-activism message. Jivamukti soon became an international phenomenon with thousands of devoted patrons, with centers everywhere from Toronto to Cincinnati to Berlin. Jivamukti's New York City center now plays host to the likes of Russell Simmons, Sting, and many others. Sharon, who had become a vegan and an animal rights activist in the early 1980s, had incorporated these philosophies into the first yoga classes she taught—tentatively at first. She was surprised and gladdened to find that her message struck a chord with many would-be yogis, and thrilled when more and more people came knocking.

In 2006, Sharon and David opened Jivamukti's sister cafe, Jivamuktea Cafe. Customers loved it from the start—the peaceful ambiance, the camaraderie, and, most of all, the delicious, hearty fare served—burritos! chocolate mousse! Delicious, filling, and cruelty-free, the recipes at Jivamuktea were an instant hit.

Now, for the first time, Sharon Gannon presents the secrets and recipes behind the acclaimed menu at Jivamuktea Cafe. Learn to prepare a flower salad, vegan pesto, and a BLT without the B. With a stirring forward by Kris Carr, author of Crazy Sexy Diet, Simple Recipes for Joy is perfect for both the stalwart vegan and the vegan-curious, including: • More than 200 delicious, vegan recipes • Answers to all the questions frequently asked of vegans, from "Is organic milk okay to drink?" to "But humans have eaten meat forever. Why stop now?" • Three 21-day cleanses to remove toxins from the body and hit the digestion reset button • Accessible, delicious, and powerful, Simple Recipes for Joy will show you how to bring joy and tranquility into your life and onto your plate.

Sharon Gannon is an animal rights and vegan activist and a world-renowned yogini, author, dancer, poet, musician and producer. She is the co-founder, with David Life, of the internationally influential Jivamukti Yoga Method; there are Jivamukti Yoga Centers and affiliates in 43 cities worldwide, including locations in Germany, Switzerland, Mexico, Norway, Spain, Russia, Greece. David and Sharon are also co-founders of the Jivamuktea Café at 841 Broadway in New York City.
