Cooking and sharing food is an art that transcends boundaries and cultures, connecting us on a deeper level. It is a beautiful way to express love, kindness, and create lasting memories.
In Indian culture, sharing food is deeply ingrained. It goes beyond the act of eating; it is a gesture of generosity and hospitality. When we open our hearts and kitchens to others, we extend a warm invitation into our lives. It is a chance to create a sense of belonging and strengthen the bonds of friendship.
Cooking itself is an act of creativity and mindfulness. As ingredients come together, flavors mingle, and aromas fill the air, we embark on a culinary journey that engages all our senses. It is a moment of pure bliss, a time to lose ourselves in the artistry of spices, textures, and colors. And when we infuse our cooking with love and intention, it becomes a form of meditation, a way to express our innermost selves.
Sharing food is more than just providing nourishment; it is a gift that speaks volumes. It creates a sense of togetherness, fostering a sense of community and unity. As we gather around the table, laughter fills the room, stories are shared, and connections are deepened. Food becomes the catalyst for unforgettable moments and cherished conversations.
Being kind is at the core of cooking and sharing food. It is an act of selflessness, where we put others' needs before our own. By catering to dietary preferences and creating a vegan meal, I embrace compassion and respect for all living beings. It is a way to honor the Earth, our bodies, and the interconnectedness of all life.
In Basel, where I teach yoga and live, this act of cooking and sharing reflects the spirit of the city itself - diverse, open-minded, and welcoming. It is an opportunity to celebrate the rich tapestry of cultures that intertwine here, as flavors from India grace the palates of friends and clients alike.
So, as I embark on this culinary adventure, I am filled with gratitude for the beauty of cooking and sharing food. I am reminded of the power it holds to create harmony, forge connections, and bring joy to those around me. In the act of cooking, I find purpose, creativity, and the opportunity to spread kindness. And as I share the Indian culture through its flavors, I hope to ignite a spark of curiosity and appreciation in the hearts of my friends and clients, fostering a deep sense of unity and understanding that transcends borders.

Mixed dal dishes are a popular and nutritious part of Indian cuisine. These dishes typically combine various types of lentils, such as yellow moong dal, split Bengal gram (chana dal), red lentils (masoor dal), and black lentils (urad dal), to create a flavorful and protein-rich meal.
