Event Description
Unlock the Healing Power of Ayurvedic Indian Herbs & Spices
Step into a sanctuary of nourishment, restoration, and mindful cooking.
Join Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef and holistic wellness practitioner Nita Jain
for an immersive, multi-sensory culinary workshop designed to bring greater harmony to
your body, mind, and digestion.
More than a cooking class, this is a complete Ayurvedic experience—one that weaves
ancient healing traditions, mindful rituals, and the transformative power of Indian
herbs and spices into your modern kitchen.
What to Expect During Your 2-Hour Journey
Immersive Sound Healing
Begin the experience with a grounding mini sound bath using
Himalayan singing bowls and chimes. This gentle opening ritual is designed to
quiet the mind, awaken the senses, and prepare you for the culinary journey ahead.
The Art of Ayurvedic Spices
Explore the therapeutic properties of traditional Indian herbs, roots, seeds,
and spices. Discover how they have been used in Ayurveda to support digestion,
strengthen Agni—the digestive fire—and promote overall vitality and balance.
Create Your Own Spice Dabba
Learn how to build your own traditional Indian spice kit, or dabba,
featuring essential healing spices that you can take home and begin using
immediately in your everyday cooking.
Hands-On Culinary Experience
Master the traditional technique of spice tempering, or tadka, as we
prepare a vibrant, nourishing, plant-based meal together.
Communal Tasting & Q&A
Gather around the table to enjoy the freshly prepared meal together while
connecting over food, Ayurveda, and wellness. An open Q&A gives you the
opportunity to explore your cooking and wellness questions with Nita.
Take-Home Gifts
Continue the experience beyond the workshop with your own custom spice kit,
beautifully prepared recipe cards, and practical knowledge you can bring into
your daily routine.
