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!
Sweet peas are finally ready to pop from their pods. Enjoy a simple, savory dish with hints of spring as well as warmer temps. Very light and grounding.

The month of November is one huge taste test for the Thanksgiving holiday. This stuffing recipe is a product of me trying to find ways to insert healthy into glutton fest. It's neither stuffed into a bird nor made of bread crumbs that came out of a box but is full of warm, earthy notes that are satisfying.
