Review Quotes

"A long time ago, I dipped my toes into being a vegan and abruptly ran away. I couldn't do it. Being Mexican, I was used to a spectrum of flavors that were all focused around meat. I could live without meat but I could not live without flavor. Then Radhi cooked for me- and I was shocked. My mouth exploded. It was the best meal I had ever had. Not the best vegan meal I had ever had, the BEST meal I had ever had. What was most shocking was how incredible I felt afterwards. For most of my life, even the most delicious meals made me feel bloated and sluggish.. Radhi's food gave me a newfound energy. I felt incredible. I am elated to have Radhi's recipes now. I finally get to have her presence in my kitchen and I know it's going to be life changing."--Francia Raisa, Actress

"I love the heart and thoughtful intention Radhi has poured into this cookbook. Her approach to delicious, whole foods meals as something that should be easy, flexible and fun is exactly my goal when cooking for my family. Even for those of us who are not plant-based, there are so many delicious recipes in Joyfull that we can all enjoy while nurturing our best-feeling self."--Kristin Cavallari, New York Times bestselling author of Truly Simple

"Radhi is super joyful, and as a vegan I love when we offer the world more plant-based options. So here's to spreading more joy through food!"--Tabitha Brown, New York Times bestselling author of Cooking From the Spirit

Weaving together mouthwatering plant-based dishes with ancient lessons from Ayurveda, Radhi takes us on a journey of what it means to cook with intention and passion.
