INCLUDES PRACTICAL AYURVEDA WISDOM
The Art and Science of the Six Tastes
In Ayurveda, each taste – sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter and astringent – corresponds to two of the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, ether) and has a direct effect in healing or unbalancing your state of health.
In our live workshops you will explore these six tastes through tasting experience, cooking demonstrations, shared vegetarian meals and guided discussion. Learn simple approaches to use and combine flavours to support digestion, soothe emotional imbalance and create dishes that nourish your body, mind and spirit throughout every season.

Your Questions, Answered with Care
Frequently Asked Questions about the Ayurvedic Kitchen
I’ve already taken The Well Nourished Life online— how is this different? Should I sign up again?
Yes! This updated format offers a new depth of experience. The four live classes are a rich addition that bring the material to life through hands-on cooking, seasonal teachings, shared meals, and group learning! We’ll explore the science of the six tastes in greater detail, experience the healing qualities of the five elements through food, and have the chance to ask questions, refine your skills, and reconnect with the heart of your learning. It’s a wonderful opportunity to revisit the material from a fresh, embodied perspective.
What if I can’t attend all four live sessions?
We encourage attending all for a complete learning arc, but each session is valuable on its own. There are no recordings or make-up sessions, but the online course, handouts and demo cooking videos supports your continued learning.
Do I need to be vegetarian or experienced with Ayurveda?
Not at all. This course is designed for all. The recipes are vegetarian, but we offer easy suggestions to adapt them to suit diets such as vegan, gluten-free, or meat-inclusive preferences.
I’m not very confident in the kitchen—will I be able to keep up?
Absolutely. This course is designed to be warm, welcoming, and beginner-friendly in sharing a new perspective to kitchen organization. You don’t need fancy skills or equipment—just a desire to learn and nourish yourself. We’ll move step-by-step, with lots of support, clarity, and encouragement.
What if I already love to cook or have lots of kitchen experience?
That’s wonderful! This course will meet you at the level you’re ready for. Experienced home cooks and even professionals will benefit from the Ayurvedic lens—exploring how the six tastes, seasonal energies, and the five elemental theory can deepen your creativity and transform the way you design meals and use herbs and spices for their medicinal healing.
What does the tuition cover? Are payment plans available?
Yes, payment plans are available to help make this course more accessible. The tuition reflects not just the content, but the depth of the experience: two years of guided online learning, four in-person sessions with cooking instruction, seasonal teachings, shared meals, and personal mentorship. It’s a meaningful investment in your long-term health, rhythm, and well-being—rooted in practices you’ll carry for life.
Are the live classes recorded?
No. The live sessions are fully in-person, experiential gatherings and are not recorded. This allows for deeper presence, connection, and hands-on learning.
How long do I have access to the online course?
You will have two full years of access from the date of enrollment.
What if I’m not sure I can commit the time right now?
That’s okay. The online course is self-paced, and you’ll have two years to explore it at your own rhythm. Even if you can only attend one or two of the live sessions, you’ll still gain a meaningful foundation and practical tools to support your journey.
Is this a good fit if I’ve taken other Ayurveda courses before?
Yes! This course is not just informational—it’s experiential. Whether you’re new to Ayurveda or already familiar with the concepts, the live cooking and experiential focus will offer fresh insight, deeper embodiment, and practical inspiration you can bring into your daily life.
