About Cooking

Cooking is the first line of Ayurveda.

Many of us know that the smallest thing ingested can cause pain or incredible delight.

The Indian cook, and every Indian grandmother, knows about the 6 tastes and the 3 doshas of Ayurveda.

These principal themes of Ayurveda are essential to yummy food, good health, and happiness.

What amazes me too about cooking is that you help someone create their experiences, whether mystical, emotional, or physical. For example, good food has sattva quality, helping people make sattvic decisions and have sattvic experiences.

Cooking then is a way to create the universe. I think it is very exciting stuff.

I hope here to present recipes, reviews of cooking materials and books, and the connections a good cook makes.

Yum (the heart seed syllable) to food!
