Ayurveda in the Kitchen: Nutrition, Digestion and the Six Tastes

Ayurveda is a traditional form of healing originating in India over 5000 years ago. In the timeless wisdom contained in the practice of Ayurveda, we have guidelines on how the food, spices, herbs, teas, and tastes we consume will impact us. In this class, we learn:

- Principles of digestion according to Ayurveda.

- Ayurvedic recommendations for daily routine.

- The six tastes and examples of how they appear in the foods we eat.

- Food options and how to determine what is right for you and when.

Additionally, we prepare a seasonal meal together using the concepts learned in class in an easily adaptable recipe.
