Kitchen Intuition Cooking Course
February 5-26, 2022 | 9am-12pm Pacific Time
Our Kitchen Intuition Course builds upon the foundational principles of Ayurvedic cooking and nutrition that we teach in our Level 1 course. This 4-week live cooking immersion will go deeper into cultivating your intuition in the kitchen so that you know what to cook according to your doshic imbalances. Together, we will discuss stages of life, climates, seasons, special needs and the passages of time that influence your body and mind. You’ll learn how to identify signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to plan and cook meals to keep you in good health.
Part lecture and discussion, part interactive cooking class—each week we will explore how to use specific foods and cooking methods to balance Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Rather than eating for your body type, you’ll learn how to properly apply these different diets according to what your body needs. Whether you’re new to cooking or a seasoned chef, this course teaches you how to think about food in a whole new way.
Join us live in the kitchen or watch the recordings at your own pace.
HOW IT WORKS
Every 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. Live classes are 3 hours, including time Q&A at the end as we share our meal together.
As part of the course, you’ll receive access to our exclusive course platform where you’ll find shopping lists, prep tips, and information to prepare you for each week’s class. After each live session, the video recording will be posted in the course platform to review. You’ll have an additional three months after the end of the course to access all course recordings and download course materials if you can’t join the group live.
