Led by chef Rame Gowda these lessons show visitors how to cook with Indian ingredients and more importantly how to observe the Hindu approach of Ayurveda - an ancient Indian science of medicine and wellbeing - when preparing food.
FDL met with chef Gowda to discuss this interesting way of life that mixes vegetarian food with yoga, meditation and breathing exercises. A system that many people in the world are now exploring.
