About Appleton Culinary Workshop: Ayurvedic Cooking for Vitality
Avurveda is an alternative medicine system with roots in India and Nepal.
To truly teach sustained cooking practices, we will work loosely with recipes as guidance to encourage intuition, inventing, supplementing, substituting, so cooking at home becomes a joyful daily practice without inhibition or reservation.
We will experiment with how to bring a variety of prepared eating experiences made with common foods already in circulation in your kitchen. The purpose of the class in not to prepare one meal or dish but to prepare a host of items that will enable the creation of multiple meals. Class will include discussions on how to properly store, then mix, match and enhance throughout the week with what we created!
Each Class will highlight approximately a half dozen healthy in season ingredients (protein, vegetable, herb, fat, fruit, fiber) complimented by the common items stocked in a kitchen. We will focus on themed seasonally and locally selected sourced ingredients to create a wonderful array of healthful, vitality promoting anti-inflammatory dishes that are simple and easy to recreate over and over at home. The goal is to promote wellbeing and vitality through at home cooking which needs to be manageable and joyful to remain a consistent practice in your daily life.
