Autumn & Winter Warmers with Recipes
Ayurveda and Autumn
According to Ayurveda as we move through the rainy season which holds many health problems as discussed in the Rainy Season section, we move into Autumn which according to the Vedic calendar is late Sept to Mid November.
Pasta with Kale, Broccoli and Leeks
As we move into the winter season, according to Ayurveda this is the early winter and we can become aware of what's needed before the harsher winter months set in. We want to be adding some good quality food to our meals as the digestive system acts like a burning fire during these colder months helping to distribute warmth to our bodies.
Quick & Tasty Beanburgers
Beans are a great source of protein and Ayurveda uses them in many dishes especially the age-old kitchadi which marries bean and grain. This is another great way to user beans in a simple beenburger which everyone will love.
