I don’t know when the ritual of tea-drinking began, but I’m guessing it was a very long time ago. Maybe it started before we – in the form we now think of ourselves – were born. I imagine the rudimentary form of us watching a flower from a nearby tree fall into a clay...
Truth bomb: You don’t need a recipe to cook. Below you'll find three tips to do it right. I almost never use recipes to cook these days. Even when I manage to reference a recipe – my own or someone else’s – I never follow it exactly. I tweak it, modify it, move things...
This is the final stage in our six-week culinary adventure. As I shared in our first week's recipe, we’re making a rustic tart that is filled with spiced squash and kale pesto. Of course, don’t forget that you’ll enjoy the ginger bite and mint-rose lassi as a...
Is it possible to be bitter about pesto? I read an article recently about a debate over the definition of pesto. It seems that some Italian grandmothers are annoyed at those of us who have taken their classic pesto recipe of basil, garlic, parmesan cheese, and nuts...
We’re rounding the corner of our exploration of satisfaction and, of course, putting our final touches on our very satisfying meal. Remember that crust we made in week 1? This week we’re going to fill it. At least halfway (because I’m asking you to linger in longing,...

It’s time for another taste test, and another part of the meal we’re creating in BodyStory: Satisfaction. This week’s recipe focuses on the sour and astringent tastes with a mint-rose lassi. Lassi is a yogurt (sour) drink that is often served to support digestion. In...
Let’s take satisfaction into your kitchen. The recipes I’ll share with you in this course lead up to a complete meal, each week focused on one specific taste. This week’s recipe honors the sweet taste. Sorry, it won’t be a dessert first kind of day. We’re going to...
I think the Ayurveda police are going to have my head for this one. Granola is definitely not listed in Ayurvedic texts. I’ve never attended a class on the merits of toasted oats. In fact, I’ve attended a few lectures talking about how dry, crunchy granola is a...
If you would have asked me five years ago for my bone broth recipe, I would have stared back at you blankly. That was a time of high-horse vegetarianism for me. I was studying with a teacher at the time who was militant about not eating meat, so I fell in line. I...
