The kitchen is the heart of our dwelling spaces and our yoga practices can take root in the very preparation of a meal. The following offerings of recipes are from my heart to yours and I hope you enjoy them in the best of health.
It has been my aim to create recipes inspired by seasonal foods with omission of dairy, meat, eggs and refined sweeteners. This is not based on a judgement of those ingredients, but simply a reflection of my personal interests and abilities.
Cooking has always been a part of my life and was my first exposure to the heart of yoga. The kitchen was a gathering place and a space to be nourished. My Italian mother and grandparents extensively gardened and delighted in the process of taking something from it’s purist form and shifting it to bring out it’s best qualities was a daily ritual.
I offer my deepest gratitude to my family for exposing me to the passion and integrity of whole foods cooking in this collection of recipes. As my Mom would say, Mangia!
Celebrate the freshness of Spring with a trip to your local farmer's market or co-op to procure the ingredients for this seasonal gem of a salad. It's unbelievably easy with big flavor (if you just get someone else to shell your fresh peas) .

We love Indian food in our house but I'm always striving to leave out ghee. I realize it's the fat that makes it taste so delish but alas was successful in my attempts to bring both the comforting flavors and heart healthy qualities to this recipe.
