Recipes

Vegetarian, moderate in taste and eaten fresh, the way the yogic tradition recommends.

Food and the mind

What you eat reaches further than your stomach. It shapes your emotions and thoughts as well as your body. Anyone who has sat through a meeting after a heavy lunch knows the feeling.
 
Ayurveda adds one more idea: the right food depends on who’s eating it. Food that suits one person’s constitution can be wrong for another’s, so ask an Ayurvedic physician what your own diet should look like. How you eat matters too. Cook and eat when you’re calm. Sit down for meals, and keep the screen off.

Cooking sattvic

Sattvic cooking comes down to a few habits. Keep the taste moderate, never too sweet, too salty or too spicy. Eat the food soon after it’s cooked. Stop before you’re full. Overeating leaves you sluggish, and eating too little won’t nourish you, so aim for the middle. Try it with one meal a day and notice how you feel afterward.
