Ayurvedic Cooking
AYURVEDIC COOKING FOR
EVERYDAY LIFE
Presenter: Raman
Das Mahatyagi
Ayurvedic Practitioner (B.Sc, Dip.Yoga,
Ayurveda-Ratna)
In this Ayurvedic cooking workshop you will learn how to
cook fast yet tasty and nutritious food for all the meals of
the day. The Ayurvedic principles, including the vegetarian
cooking method, will be applied to Australian meals making
the recipes practical to use in everyday life. Different
constitutions, doshas, require different foods so
recipes for each dosha will be taught. Along with
this, guidance will be given on how to cook for a family
where everybody has a different constitution.
This workshop is suitable for all those who are interested in health through cooking. It
will provide practical insight into cooking to acquire and
maintain good health using the Ayurvedic methods of food
preparation and combining to create balance in our meals. It
will explain how we gain contentment and satisfaction from
the food we eat due to our five senses being stimulated by
it. Only by using these senses are we able to gain optimum
health and nutrition from the food. The sense organs are
able to asses the value of the food through the stimulation
of neurotransmitters, digestive enzymes and the endocrine
system.
Although in Australia most of us have a busy lifestyle and
are unable to spend hours cooking, eating in restaurants and
having “take-away” is not suitable for maintaining long term
health. To address this problem Raman Das has developed a
technique for preparing everyday meals in a short space of
time requiring minimum washing up and time spent in the
kitchen. Each meal incorporates a variety of ingredients so
that your body will receive all the proper nutrients,
healing qualities and desired post digestive effect whilst
you enjoy its delicious taste.
