AYURVEDIC COOKING CLASSES

Think Ayurvedic food is just dahl and kitchari? Think again.

With over 25 years in professional kitchens and 16 years of Ayurvedic practice, I’ve seen firsthand that food is our best medicine - but I also know it can feel complicated.

In my 2026 Cooking Classes, I’m breaking it down for you. No pantry overhauls required, just simple, explanaitions & tweaks to the dishes you already love, making them medicinal, delicious, and easy on your digestion.

What we’ll explore in 5 hours:

✨ Hands-On Cooking: Move beyond theory and get into the kitchen.

✨ Kitchen Wisdom: Ayurvedic tips & information around food combinations & preparation techniques to support digestion without compromising on flavour.

✨ Decoding Digestion: Why certain foods leave you heavy vs. energised.

✨ Confidence: Learn to cook with what you have, no strict recipes needed.

✨ Seasonal Flow: How to use spices and herbs to stay in balance.

We’ll finish by sharing the wholesome feast we’ve created together! 🥣

Investment: $110 (Includes 5-hour class, shared meal, and workbook)

Location: Luncheon Pavilion, Bellingen Show Ground
