Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet for overall well-being. Incorporating Ayurvedic principles into your cooking can enhance your health, boost your energy levels, and promote longevity.

You have powerful healing tools available to you all the time. Your breath, your mind, and your hands. All of which are engaged when cooking. How we prepare and consume our meals brings these three aspects together.

This is why in Ayurveda, it’s said that our food is medicine.

Food is comforting and sensual, and we could not survive without it. It’s one thing to imagine the fragrance or know what a blend of spices may bring to a dish, but to truly experience it, to see the colors, to smell the aroma, to touch the food, and hear the spices sizzle, to taste the nourishment in person. Well, there’s nothing like it.

This is what makes our in-person cooking experience different. You are present with all your senses and in the process, they come alive.

Sharpen your senses. Cooking is a conversation of elements. The smell of something will change when it’s done. The color will shift, and the consistency will change. All of this has to be seen, smelt, touched, etc.

Be a part of the discussion, Ask questions, get immediate answers, and share your experience.

Discover techniques for good mechanics around prepping, cutting, and timing. All of which are essential aspects of becoming a rockstar chef.

Learn with and be inspired by others. I’ve developed as a cook by standing beside my teachers, friends, and family watching.
