Volume IV
Breakfasts & Porridges
The Western breakfast table is full of cold cereal, cold milk, juice and coffee — everything that dampens agni first thing in the morning. Here the familiar oats, quinoa, rye and pancakes come back warm, cooked, gently spiced and fortified with protein. Serve between 7 and 9 am; finish with a warm drink rather than coffee.
