Mariel’s Kitchen Cookbook
As the granddaughter of illustrious author Ernest Hemingway, Mariel Hemingway was destined to be in the public eye. But at just 13 years old, Mariel became famous in her own right as she made a feature film debut in “Lipstick.” Four years later, she earned an Oscar nomination for her role in Woody Allen’s film “Manhattan.” Mariel is an actress model, yoga instructor, mother of two teenage girls, and one of the leading voices for holistic and balanced living and the host of Spiritual Cinema Circle.

Bliss Kitchen Beet Soup
By Patti Garland
Beets are vibrant in color and antioxidant-rich, this root vegetable is both building to the blood and the body while simutaneously tonifying the liver and other organs.

The cumin, cloves and cinnamon provide a spicy tang that stimulates digestion and warms the heart.
Donna De Lory on Bliss, Motherhood and Music
It’s a particularly steamy July afternoon, but singer, songwriter and producer Donna De Lory is ensconced in the cool of Jivamukti Yoga Center’s café, taking a quick herbal tea break before sound checking that evening’s concert at the popular New York studio. Exuberant, cheerful and very pregnant on this summer day (her second daughter finally arrived in November), De Lory says her return to Manhattan feels especially meaningful. Not only will she be jamming live on many of the new songs that appear on her sultry, invigorating new album Sanctuary, like the luminous title track, but while mixing the album in a Chelsea studio just months earlier, De Lory realized that she had truly – and blissfully - found the peace, fulfillment and inspiration she has been seeking as an artist and musician. With Sanctuary, De Lory has crafted an expressive, spiritually-charged album that embraces both her passionate exploration of yoga and meditation inspired music, like 2004’s mantra-driven The Lover and The Beloved, and the expansive, mystical folktronica that was the foundation of 2006’s Sky Is Open.
