Ayurvedic Staples

As the seasons shift from late winter to early spring, this class focuses on creating Ayurvedic-inspired pantry staples that support the body’s natural transition. Together, led by Shain Levee of Northwoods Ayurveda, we’ll prepare a selection of simple, versatile recipes designed to bring warmth, lightness, and balance into everyday cooking. Participants will learn how to make ghee, the cornerstone of Ayurvedic cuisine; tahini and an Ayurvedic-spiced hummus that can serve as nourishing bases for many meals; a kapha-reducing tea blend to awaken digestion and circulation; a seasonal salt and spice mix to enliven flavor and support agni (digestive fire); and a spiced seed butter that offers gentle, sustaining energy. These six staples can be easily prepared at home and kept on hand throughout the week, forming the foundation of a kitchen that nourishes both body and spirit during the seasonal shift toward renewal and lightness.
