The Significance of Oils in Ayurvedic Skin Care

GHEE -One of the Finest Sattvic Foods in Ayurveda
Ayurveda classifies foods according to the three gunas—Sattva (purity and harmony), Rajas (activity and stimulation), and Tamas (inertia and dullness).

Banana Spice Cake with Spelt Flour
This cake is good anytime of the year – warm at Christmas, and chilled for a summer treat. For the best and freshest flavor, the bananas should not be overly ripe. A nice yellow color with no, or just a few, darker spots is just right.
Leafy Green Salad with Vegan Ranch
For variety and good nutrition, choose an assortment of leafy lettuce greens. Add herbs such as chives, parsley, basil or mint, if desired. Red radish adds flavor and color and they’re easy to find. However, add any exotic radishes (purple, daikon, watermelon, etc.) if you find them.
Vegan Ranch Dressing
This is a plant-based, non-dairy take on a traditional favorite. We’ve opted for plain coconut milk yogurt mixed with vegan mayonnaise made with avocado oil. Feel free to add fresh herbs and skip the dried if preferred. If you’ve got some on hand, the vegan Worcestershire sauce adds a nice little burst of flavor! Use this dressing on leafy green salads, drizzled over tomato slices, and as a dip for sweet potato fries and onion rings.
Green Bean and Tomato Bhaji
Pair these wonderful green beans with a cooling raita or plain yogurt; serve hot with favorite bread/roti, paratha, or steamed basmati rice with protein of choice – legumes/daal, tofu, chicken, beef, etc.

Ginger Miso Soup
There’s nothing more soothing than an awesome bowl of miso soup – the Japanese equivalent to chicken soup! Use any miso you like – the darker, red miso is typically a winter food; the lighter white and yellow miso varieties are lighter and enjoyed more often in spring and summer. Vary the vegetables as you wish, however, for the probiotic benefits, use only UNpasteurized miso (never dried or powdered), added to slightly cooled hot soup, but not boiling-hot. This recipe serves 2 people.
