Ayurvedic Kitchen
Who We Are
Located in Victoria B.C. we are dedicated to the development of the ancient art of Ayurvedic cooking.
Ayurveda focuses on a system that is based on treating people as unique individuals. Ayurveda believes that people can adequately learn and educate themselves to take control of their own health. This can be achieved by learning to balance their nutrition, life style and habits to heal and prevent illness and develop longevity.
My love for cooking started in my mother’s kitchen using traditional techniques and spices used to flavor Indian cooking. My interest in diverse cuisines has taken me to different kitchens all over the world and in Paris I took courses in Cordon Bleu to add to my repertoire. These rich experiences have enhanced my skills by using local produce to create magical flavors for wholesome meals.
Our Philosophy
Ayurveda in Sanskrit means the “science of life”Using Ayurvedic cooking principals is a way of life in India. This rich tradition has been passed down from generation
to generation for 5000 years.
For me it is also a passion. My philosophy in cooking is very simple:
it follows the harmony in nature.
I use fresh and natural produce sourced as close to home as possible,
I have an in-depth knowledge of spices and use them sensibly. A balance of sweet, salty, spicy, bitter, sour and astringent will make the
preparation wholesome and appealing.
