In the Vegetarian Kitchen with Mama Yogi
By Mama Yogi
Vegetarian food expert and chef, Mama Yogi, gives some mouthwatering delicious LOVE recipes. Whether you’re cooking for a sweetheart or other loved ones, food tastes best when cooked with lots of love!
Preparing food in a healthy and appealing manner is one of the best services we can provide for our families. This month I’m honoring the late Harriette Davis, who was an excellent cook that cooked with love. I miss her and the lovely food she prepared for us. I’m glad I was able to learn from her five-star ways that nurtured family, friends, and international guests for so many years at Shanti Villa Institute. In my circles, I hope to do half as well!

1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger
Salt
Pepper
Shady Grove Farms white turmeric
Shady Grove Farms gold turmeric
