Ayurveda Cooking Class
Ayurveda Cooking Class
Food is medicine. Combinations of herbs and spices with seasonal vegetables can help one to find balance and ease digestion. Reacquaint yourself with many of the herbs and spices that you may already be familiar with in a new way. Join Jodi Adams, Certified Yoga Instructor and Ayurveda Yoga Specialist, in April's virtual cooking class as she guides you through the foundations of Ayurvedic cooking traditions, spice blending, and mindful, seasonal recipes. Tune in to the live class via Zoom and cook along in your own kitchen using a pre-portioned Co-op class kit. By the end of the class, participants can enjoy a full meal made from scratch. The class menu includes:
- Kitchari (pronounced kich-uh-ree): a complete meal intended to nourish and rejuvenate that combines basmati rice with split yellow mung bean, ginger, and a balanced blend of spices.
- Vata Churna: an assortment of culinary spices that will be toasted and blended to flavor the food and traditionally used to ease stress, promote good digestion, and create harmony in the body and mind
- Roasted Japanese Sweet Potatoes: seasoned with vata churna and served alongside seasonal greens
- Cumin Coriander Fennel Tea (CCF Tea): commonly used to support healthy digestion, soothe common digestive discomforts and stoke digestive fire
