The Ayurvedic Kitchen: A Nourishing Cooking Immersion
The Ayurvedic Kitchen Course is a 4-week nourishing group cooking immersion. Join Julie Bernier of True Ayurveda and Claire Ragozzino of Vidya Living for an exploration of Ayurvedic cooking and eating. Part lecture and discussion, part interactive cooking class—each week progressively builds on the previous learning theme, so you take away knowledge of not only how to prepare a recipe, but a deeper understanding of how to nourish your body. You’ll learn Ayurvedic concepts alongside staple recipes, while also expanding your repertoire with versatile real-food formulas for building balanced meals and adapting dishes to meet your bodies’ needs. We want to teach you how we cook and feed ourselves practically each day, using Ayurvedic wisdom while meeting a modern-day lifestyle.

HOW IT WORKS
Each Saturday you’ll join us via Zoom where we’ll gather as a group—in our own kitchens. As we demo how to make each dish, you’ll be cooking alongside us while walking you through the process each step of the way. This is truly a hands-on immersion where you get a chance to practice with us live and ask your questions as we move along through the recipes and learning topics. At the end of each class, we’ll have finished dishes to sit down with and enjoy together. You’ll not only learn the techniques, but you’ll get to taste and experience this nourishing food and build your confidence in the kitchen along the way. We’ll also explore the weeks’ themes through lecture and discussion within each session.
