a lot going on, but that’s another blog post. It served two purposes: one, to give me the break I needed and two, to be inspired by the Vaidyas there who were used to communicating the eastern holistic philosophy of Ayurveda into practical takeaways for the westerners who visited. A magical Ayurvedic paradise - basically super serene and really quite luxurious compared to the more rough and ready Ayurvedic Panchakarma places in India that I was familiar with. I realised to get this book done and to preserve my energy I was going to have to enhance my way of working.įast forward a month or so to spring 2017 and I travelled to the Himalayas to the beautiful enclaves of Vana. I’m a procrastinator when it comes to big projects at the best of times and, as a Vata type, I’m easily distracted and continuously lured away by other shiny things. I was getting deep into the incredibly exciting and fascinating world of Ayurveda, but struggling to actually get the book done. On top of that, my publication date for mid-2018 suddenly got brought forward a year, so I had to quickly get to work on drafting chapter ideas on the book every morning and evening either side of my usual schedule. During this time I got a new publisher for my latest vision - East by West the cookbook - and I was absolutely ecstatic but pretty much close to burnt out. Back in January 2017, I was not only recovering from some festive season excesses, but also from running my 3-month long East by West pop-up restaurant - which I had created and opened in just 10 days and was front and back of house on top of my usual work with Hemsley+Hemsley.
