Warm and Nourishing Food – Ayurvedic Cuisine in Fall and Winter
Monthly Ayurveda Sessions – November 2026 Discover the traditional principles of seasonal eating and learn how to prepare warm, nourishing, and aromatic meals for fall and winter days.
About the Warm and Nourishing Food – Ayurvedic Cuisine in Fall and Winter course
As the days grow shorter and the temperature drops, our needs and daily eating habits change as well. How can we prepare meals that are suitable for the cooler months? Which foods and spices should we choose? And why does traditional Ayurveda place such a strong emphasis on the rhythm of nature?
Join us for our November workshop with Ritu Mittal, dedicated to fall and winter nutrition according to Ayurvedic principles.
During the session, you’ll learn about the concept of Ritucharya—living in harmony with the rhythm of the seasons—and the importance of Agni, the digestive fire, as understood in traditional Ayurveda.
You’ll learn how to select ingredients, use aromatic spices, and prepare daily meals in a simple, seasonal way that’s suited to the cooler part of the year.
The workshop will combine traditional knowledge with practical examples to help you apply these principles in your own kitchen.
