NEW~ Spring Ayurvedic Cook Alongs
Yoga and food are great ways to balance your whole body, especially your immune and nervous systems. I’m excited to be able to share my kitchen and immune boosting recipes with you. I have a fun lineup of some of my favorite and foundational recipes to share with you. I’ll be using Zoom to bring you into my kitchen, and me into yours. Together we will chop, measure, stir, blend and cook up tasty and healing foods. I can’t wait to share them with you!
Cook-a-Longs last one hour and will be held bi-weekly, with two options for days and times to participate.
Carrot Ginger Dal & Sesame Carrot Hummus
Indian meets Mediterranean in this mash-up. Dal is a nourishing traditional East Indian staple. Hummus, you would typically find on Mediterranean and Middle Eastern menus. In this cook-along we take creative license and make it our own. Hummus is great in wraps, sandwiches, as a dip, or dollop on your favorite steamed veggies. Dal can be enjoyed as a soup, served alongside chicken, over rice or your other favorite whole grain. Join the adventure!
*We will be using a CuisineArt & hand held Immersion blender. At least one of those or a blender will also work.*
