THE SUN AND THE SPICE
FROM THE SPANISH GARDEN TO THE AYURVEDIC KITCHEN
A journey through the Mediterranean garden and the Ayurvedic kitchen
The Sun and the Spice is a hands-on cooking experience where Mediterranean ingredients, Ayurvedic principles and the joy of cooking come together around one table.
Inspired by the sun, soil and seasonal abundance of the Mediterranean, we will explore how fresh, local ingredients can be combined with aromatic herbs and Ayurvedic spices to create food that is colourful, nourishing and full of flavour.
This is not about complicated recipes or strict rules. It is about reconnecting with food, understanding what you eat and disovering how simple, seasonal cooking can bring more balance and enjoyment into everyday life.
Rather than preparing a traditional Indian curry, we will honour the beautiful produce of Spain and give it an Ayurvedic soul.
Working together in small groups, we will prepare a colourful four-course meal using seasonal vegetables, Mediterranean herbs, olive oil and carefully selected Ayurvedic spices.
Once the cooking is complete, we gather around the table to enjoy the food we have created together.
We begin with an Ayurvedic welcome drink and a warm introduction to the afternoon.
Learn the foundations of Ayurveda and its approach to food and nourishment.
Explore
- the three doshas Vata, Pitta and Kapha
- the six tastes
- the relationship between food, the seasons and invididual constitution
- how herbs and spices are traditionally used in Ayurveda
- how to bring more awareness and balance into everyday cooking
Meet a selection of Mediterranean herbs and Ayurvedic spices.
Discover how spices can transform simple ingredients and learn how to combine them in a way that creates depth, warmth and harmony.
Working in small groups, we will prepare four seasonal dishes. The recipes will celebrate the local Spanish harvest, complemented by Mediterranean herbs and Ayurvedic spices.
You will learn practical techniques, flavour combinations and simple ways to adapt the recipes to your own kitchen.
After cooking, we slow down and enjoy the meal together.
Food is not only about what is on the plate. It is also about connection, conversation and taking the time to nourish ourselves.
A meeting of two culinary traditions
Hosted by Myra Bettonville, culinary host and event caterer and Sharda Chedi, Ayurveda lifestyle coach and Panchakarma Therapist, this unique experience brings together two vibrant culinary traditions.
Myra brings her love of Mediterranean ingredients, seasonal cooking and creating beautiful food.
