Course Description

Dinacharya, daily routine within cycles of nature, lies at the heart of Ayurvedic healing. Chikitsa, applying consciousness to (in this case) food, is a vital aspect of therapy. The dynamics of Ayurvedic nutrition weave closely into the creation & use of recipes for healing. In choosing a recipe or creating a new one, the practitioner-cook accounts for the 21 gunas and the 6 tastes relating to the doshas & seasonal needs.

Traditional recipes balance the gunas and rasas inherent within them. Yet Ayurvedic practitioners/educators encounter clients who consume diets with a variety of foods uncommon to Ayurveda, with unique qualities & tastes. Special or unusual foods common to Ayurveda may not be available to some clients. We’re living in extreme times, in terms of climate, sustainability, and available resources. Meeting these challenges creatively both in our own lives and in our professional work can make the difference between a successful outcome or an intention for healing abandoned halfway.

Course Objectives

1. Establish a basis for understanding how the gunas and tastes interplay within recipes, traditional and non-traditional.
2. Begin to adapt specific recipes for different constitutional types and seasonal needs.
3. Utilize food histories and interview techniques to elicit key foods and recipes for oneself and one’s clients. (with sample questions)
4. Apply the open and focused neutrality of the mahagunas to brainstorm with oneself and one’s clients, creating adapted recipes suitable for their individual needs and cultural foundations.
5. Understand step-by-step guidance on how to adapt recipes to support the dynamics of Ayurvedic nourishment.
