Annapurna more than cuisine

For Yashoda Naidoo, owner of Annapurna Ayurvedic Cuisine and Chai House, Ayurveda is not only a diet, it's a philosophy. Ayurveda is based on the medical science of India, which dates back over 1000 years, Naidoo said. Its purpose is to provide balance by nourishing the body and soul with vegetarian foods that are easy to digest, she said.
