Cooking with Kristin: Ayurvedic Italian Night
w. Kristin Linde

Discover how Italian comfort food and Ayurvedic wisdom come together in the most delicious way. In this creative, flavor-packed class, we’ll explore lighter, more digestible versions of Italian favorites using warming spices, fresh herbs, seasonal produce, and dosha-balancing cooking techniques.

You’ll learn how to build deep flavor without heaviness, create sattvic sauces and herb blends, and craft vibrant bowls inspired by Italian classics. Think creamy “risotto” made with Ayurvedic staples, bright dairy-free pesto, nourishing bean and tomato stews, and roasted vegetables infused with Mediterranean flair.

This class is perfect for anyone who loves Italian food but wants meals that support digestion, balance the doshas, and leave them feeling nourished—not weighed down. Come ready to cook, taste, and discover a whole new side of Italian cuisine through the lens of Ayurveda.
