Cooking with Kristin: Making Friends With Your Instant Pot (in-person)

Discover how simple, nourishing, and deeply supportive Ayurvedic cooking can be with the help of your Instant Pot. Designed for beginners and seasoned home cooks alike, this workshop will teach you the essential functions of the Instant Pot, how to build flavor using traditional Ayurvedic techniques, and how pressure cooking enhances digestion, nutrient absorption, and seasonal balance.

Together we’ll prepare a variety of winter-friendly dishes—including warming soups, creamy dals, comforting kitchari, spiced grains, vibrant vegetable sides, and a naturally sweet dessert. You’ll leave with confidence, inspiration, and a beautiful recipe guide to support your cooking at home.

Kristin Linde . B.S., AHC, AYS, RYT

As an entrepreneur of 20+ years, Kristin has spent most of her adult life stressed out, anxious, and overwhelmed. A few years ago, she was fortunate enough to have the path of Yoga and Āyurveda illuminated for her. The divine wisdom of these traditions has helped Kristin to shift her life in ways she could never have imagined. She is happier, healthier, and more full of joy than ever before. Kristin is passionate about sharing this wisdom with others and spreading the joy (and incredible benefits) of Āyurveda and Yoga with others through one-on-one consultations, classes, courses, and social media. If you are ready to delve into this powerful wisdom and take control of your health, well-being, and ultimately your life, Kristin would be honored to be your guide.
