COOKING & MINDFULNESS CLASS COMING UP - March 6th!!
The monks who recently led the WALK FOR PEACE from Texas to DC have done me a great favor! They have familiarized mindfulness - as more than a concept...as a practice, that has innumerable benefits.
This reminder is so beautifully timed, as I continue to offer my new Culinary Mindfulness program FEED YOUR PEACE, that reveals another unique path to cultivating and maintaining that same energy, in the kitchen; a place in the home we all spend several hours each week.

Join me, Chef Naina at The Cook's Warehouse, Ansley Mall for the next instalment of this incredible program that reveals and illuminates how accessible a regular practice in mindfulness can be.
In the world we live in today it is essential to find a reliable, accessible path to inner-resourcing, support and self-care that doesn't add YET another item to our already never ending to-do lists. Feed Your Peace illuminates exactly that. These Venerable monks have done me a great favor by making mindfulness a household name for so many people - I feel honored to continue spreading the message of the Venerable Monks, in some, small way!
Come join me and find your Zen, in the kitchen!

Indian food is VAST! I've been eating and cooking it for almost 5 decades and I STILL have sooo much to learn. BUT... if you're looking to add Indian cooking to your repertoire in the kitchen I have a great place for you to start! And even if you're a seasoned hand, this opportunity is for you too!

The menu at my Simple Indian Vegetarian Cooking Class The Cook's Warehouse this Saturday 8/23 is approachable, covers a wide spectrum of flavors and techniques, is very versatile (for example the vegetarian main dish can easily be made with a non-vegetarian protein) and above all, delicious! You won't have to go crazy buying esoteric spices that you'll only use once and then leave to languish in your kitchen cabinets - these are recipes you'll find yourself returning to over and over!

We're all so quick to criticize but I say, "Good on him, for trying!"

The Vegan Experiment Is Over at Eleven Madison Park Chef Daniel Humm’s moral and creative pivot in 2021 made EMP the world’s first Michelin three-star vegan restaurant. But now, he’s walking back that decision

I know not many people want to get into the kitchen in summer BUT (hear me out!) if you love to cook then a cooking class at The Cook's Warehouse is the PERFECT way to scratch that itch in the summer heat. Here are 5 excellent reasons why you should believe me...
#1 - You'll be cool air-conditioned comfort
#2 - you won't have to do ANY of the shopping (except retail therapy at the store with your class discount)
#3 - at least 50% of the (tedious) prep will be done for you by the fabulous kitchen elves at CW leaving only the fun and interesting stuff for you
#4 - NO clean up (I think that's the best part!)
#5 - and the cherry on top is a DELICIOUS dinner with wine and great company!
What better way is there to be in the kitchen when it's a bajillion degrees outside?!
If this sounds like fun (which I promise it is!) come to my Summery Vegetarian Mezze class this Friday ! Delicious light bites that suit the season and satisfy the palate. LINK IN COMMENTS!
I'll see you there!

Hungrily yours,
Chef Naina
