In these weekend Ayurveda Cooking Classes, Sara is going to guide you to:
understand how each season impacts your metabolism
select the best foods and cooking strategies to support optimum balance and well-being, physically and mentally-emotionally through the seasons.
Cooking the Ayurveda way is almost like a ritualistic experience, nourishing in its own right as you engage all your senses in the process, preparing your body to receive, break down and assimilate the good foods you are going to feed it.
The benefits of eating the Ayurveda way include:
enhanced vitality
better digestion and elimination
reduced symptoms
better sleep
improved mood and positivity
optimum weight
This is a way of cooking and eating for life.
Whilst the recipes you will enjoy during these classes include many spices from Indian cooking styles, the food itself is not solely Indian. Familiar foods will also be selected and prepared according to Ayurveda principles.
In our cooking classes, all ingredients and utensils are provided for you. Please just bring a note book and pen with you.
On arrival, Sara will show you how to make a chapati with flour chosen especially for the season. You’ll enjoy this with a cup of warming seasonal herbal tea.
Over tea, Sara will give you a brief introduction to the basic principles of Ayurveda and help you to understand your Ayurveda type, before you begin the practical cooking experience.
Once you understand these basic principles, Sara can also guide you throughout the cooking process with tips for adapting recipes to suit your metabolism for year long well-being and balance.
You will cook a three course Ayurveda seasonal meal together with other class members and then enjoy the meal altogether.
During the meal there is time to chat and enjoy each other’s company.
Over a final cup of tea, you can ask any remaining questions and you will also receive copies of the recipes and dates of further seasonal cooking classes.
Whilst Ayurveda is not necessarily a vegetarian or vegan way of eating, the foods in these classes are plant-based apart from the use of ghee (clarified butter) which is a prized Ayurveda food. There are alternatives to ghee for vegans.
