Ayurvedic Food

Ayurvedic cooking is not only an art but one of the key to achieving optimum health. Ayurveda talks about the three pillars of life and food is regarded as one of the pillars for healthy living.

The roots run deep…

For the son of a farmer, brought up in a small but resource-rich village in India, this interest in food and cuisine was only natural. This was further enhanced by the fact that both his parents lived healthy Ayurvedic lifestyles at home. Overtime, this exposure to Ayurvedic lifestyles, a keen interest in the gastronomical process and the drive to be different has helped Prashant Patel hone his Ayurvedic Cooking skills into a specialized art form.
