About this activity

Enjoy a private, off-the-eaten path, Ayurvedic cooking class with your host Ninoska, who is passionate about healthy, plant-based cuisine. Ninoska customizes your menu based on your body composition so remember to complete the food quiz before your experience. During an extraordinary year living off the land on a permaculture farm, Ninoska learned the art of plant-based meals and fell head over heels for the nourishing and harmonious world of Ayurveda cuisine. She is excited to teach guests the joy of cooking and enjoying vegetarian cuisine at her home. Ninoska's cuisine is a celebration of flavors, from Indian to Caribbean. Her experience with the bold, flavorful dishes from her culture combined with her expertise in plant-based foods provides a really unique culinary experience. On days that she is available, Ninoska's partner Esther will join you for your experience. Her apartment is a third-floor walk-up that she shares with Esther and a little dog.

Itinerary

Join your host at her simple home for a transformative vegetarian cooking class focused on Ayurvedic principles. Before your experience, Ninoska will provide a quiz to determine your dosha (body constitution). Completing the quiz will allow her to create a custom menu that harmonizes with your body type. For instance, if your dosha is "pitta" (fire element), she will prepare cooling, balancing foods like coconut, cucumber, and watermelon. During your Savannah cooking class, learn to craft a nourishing, vegetarian four-course meal, encompassing a captivating appetizer, a healing soup, a fulfilling main dish, and a delicious dessert. Ninoska integrates a few slow-cooked foods in your meal and due to their therapeutic slow-cooking process, they may already be simmering on the stove upon your arrival. After the cooking session, savor the holistic Ayurvedic/Vegetarian meal you helped prepare with Ninoska at her dining table. Your meal includes a rejuvenating mocktail and concludes with a light dessert. After your meal, feel free to take in the sights of Savannah, including Forsyth Park, a 10-min drive away and the historic River Street.
