Ayurvedic Cooking Workshop in Melrose: Learn to Make Vegetable Pulao & Discover Herbal Wisdom

I’m so excited to invite you to an upcoming workshop that’s close to my heart.

On Saturday, May 4 from 5-7 pm, I’ll be leading a hands-on Ayurvedic Cooking Workshop in Melrose in collaboration with Herbstalk at The Kitchen — and I would love for you to join me.

Together, we’ll be preparing Vegetable Pulao — a deeply nourishing, aromatic rice dish cooked with seasonal vegetables and infused with warming Ayurvedic spices. This isn’t just about following a recipe. It’s about experiencing how food becomes medicine when prepared with intention, awareness, and love.

We’ll begin the class with a brief introduction to Ayurveda, India’s ancient system of holistic wellness. I’ll guide you through the basics of the Ayurvedic approach to food — how the qualities of the ingredients we choose can support digestion, calm the nervous system, and bring balance to our bodies throughout the seasons.

As we cook together, I’ll share the healing properties of some of my favorite spices and herbs — many of which you likely already have in your kitchen. You’ll learn how ingredients like cumin, coriander, and ginger can gently support the body and how even the process of cooking can become a daily ritual of care and connection.

This class is for anyone who:

• Wants to cook a simple, delicious, and balanced meal that feels good to the body and soul

• Is curious about Ayurveda and wants to learn how to use herbs and spices in everyday meals

• Finds joy in cooking with others and sharing a beautiful, home-cooked meal

No prior experience is necessary — just an open heart and a love of food. Whether you’re completely new to Ayurveda or have been exploring herbal wellness for years, you’re welcome here.

We’ll close the workshop by sitting down together to enjoy our creation — a nourishing bowl of warm, spiced Vegetable Pulao, shared in good company.

I can’t wait to cook, connect, and share this beautiful experience with you.

With warmth,

Bhanu
