Baba’s Bites: A Cookbook, Handmade for the Mind, Body and Soul

Baba’s Bites is a passion project by siblings Matthew and Rebecca Teague. Born in Cardiff, Wales and having spent a lifetime immersed in the world-city of Hong Kong, they have both been heavily influenced by global culture and cuisine, taking particular interest in the food and wisdom of India. With backgrounds in therapy, energetics and food, Matthew and Rebecca are Ayurvedic and Yoga Lifestyle Consultants, but moreover enthusiasts for life and creatives at heart. Their vision is to create a cookbook that fuses the ancient Indian healing wisdom of Ayurveda with a modern approach to plant-based eating. This is a crossover they feel can work wonders as an aid for people on their journeys to lessening their environmental footprint, reducing their toxic burdens, and facilitating the healing of the all-too-common gut-related illnesses that take root in imbalanced diet and lifestyle. The recipes in themselves contain only natural ingredients and are fully free of preservatives, additives and other nasties. Hand-made and designed as a sketchbook, the book’s beautifully drawn illustrations are works of art in themselves. The book includes an accessible yet informative introduction to Ayurveda, designed as an entry for those just venturing out into the subject. Otherwise, the book in itself is a wonderful little addition to any kitchen, with its unique and easy-to-follow recipes. Baba’s Bites is packed full of useful ‘bite-sized’ guidance on how to create and maintain a healthy being, with the well-being of our planet in mind.
