| Devotee Cookbook Prasadam of ISKCON's Early Days |
This cookbook of prasadam recipes was handed to us by a devotee who’d been carrying an
old photocopy around for man years. Obviously this cookbook was written while Srila
Prabhupada was still physically present. Judging from the language and recipes, our best
guess is that it’s circa 1972-73. The recipes will ring familiar with those devotees who
remember the wonderful prasadam in ISKCON temples during the ‘early days’.

"I am pleased to learn that you are thinking of putting together a cookbook of our Krishna prasadam recipes. I
understand that in London, Yamuna Dasi has already done some work on this same project, so you may
correspond with her in this connection. I know that at our feasts especially many persons become interested in
preparing foodstuffs in this way, so this cookbook is a nice thing to instruct such persons in preparing and
offering nice prasadam for the Lord. So when there is some tangible book ready for publication, please inform me,
and we shall try to arrange for its publication. I am pleased to note your description of the increasing interest in
vegetarian diet in this country. Actually, the practice of meat-eating is very detrimental to spiritual life, because in
spiritual life the goal is to become free from all sinful reactions, and meat-eating means simply to force oneself to
suffer the sinful reactions of killing our fellow living entities. So as many people will be taking to practicing spiritual
life through the influence of our Sankirtana Movement, such cookbook will be very important, and you should work
for this as you are able. Please convey my blessings to your husband, Dinesh, and to your child, Visnu Arati. I
hope this will find you all well."

"Cooking means if you have no appetite, it will create appetite. That is cooking, not that simply some ghee and
masala and cook it. No. It is a great art."
