Dinacharya, daily routine within the cycles of nature, is at the heart of Ayurveda. Chikitsa, a vital aspect of therapy, literally applies consciousness to, in this case, food. Within the dynamics of Ayurvedic nutrition a practitioner-cook takes into account the 21 gunas and the 6 tastes as they are reflected in the doshas & seasons, when choosing or creating recipes. We live in unusual times, in terms of climate & available resources. Traditional recipes have a balance of the gunas & rasas inherent within them. Yet Ayurvedic practitioners & educators encounter clients who consume different diets, with foods not common to Ayurveda. Meeting challenges creatively with food & culture can make the difference between a successful out come or an intention for healing that is abandoned.
Course Objective
Learn with step by step guidance how to adapt recipes to support the dynamics of Ayurvedic nourishment, in light of how the gunas and tastes interplay within traditional and non-traditional recipes to create a wholistic effect. 2. Begin to adapt specific recipes for different individuals, constitutional types, locales, and needs. 3. Weave sustainability into the adaptation of recipes, opening to alternatives to plastics and factoring in energy/fuel concerns. 4. Utilize food histories and interview techniques to elicit key foods and recipes for oneself and one's clients. 5. Apply the open and focused neutrality of the mahagunas to brainstorm with oneself and one's clients, creating recipes suitable for their individual needs and cultures.
