AYURVEDA COOKING EXPERIENCE – WEEK GROUPS

Week groups are a maximum of three people.  It can be scheduled on Wednesdays or Fridays once per month at my home in Shandon, Columbia-SC.

Because of nature’s inner intelligence, Ayurveda recommends local, fresh, seasonal, and organic products. Therefore, the recipes respect each time of the year and promote good digestion and absorption for each season.

The experience lasts about 4h00 and consists of a brief theoretical and a practical part:

• I’ll give you an Ayurveda introduction and self-observation to make the best food choices.
• The culinary experience: let’s cook the proposed menu together.
• While we sit at the table to eat, I can give you some Ayurvedic tips for better digestion and absorption.

Menu:

• First plate: Colorful sweet potato gnocchi (homemade) with cilantro sauce (vegan and GF).
• Second plate: Smashed brussels sprouts, red cabbage, and Hasselback Maroccan roasted carrots.

All the ingredients are included.
At the end of our meeting, I’ll send you the recipes by email.

SPRING

Vagbhata explains that Kapha, accumulated at the end of the Late Winter season, is aggravated in Spring. It happens because when Kapha is exposed to intense sun rays, it melts, overflows, and travels throughout the body, tending to produce disease by lodging in weak tissues.

The Kapha liquefaction diminishes the digestive fire (Agni), making it sluggish. It gives rise to many diseases such as asthma, indigestion, cold, and cough.

Therefore, we should avoid consuming foods that are difficult to digest, with cold and unctuous qualities, and sour and sweet tastes because these food qualities tend to increase the Kapha we need to mitigate.

SPRING IN SOUTH CAROLINA

The menu was planned to relieve the seasonal qualities that are present now in South Carolina, such as temperature variation, high humidity, and weight sensation (which can be perceived by laziness, mucus, or indigestion).

Respecting nature movement promotes immunity, a strong body, and a resilient mind. Spring health depends on the choices we make now.
