Meals at our Herefordshire Ayurveda and Wellness Retreat
Wholesome, Ayurvedic meals designed to support your healing journey
Food is an important part of the healing process at our UK retreat. Meals are prepared according to Ayurvedic principles and guided by our Ayurveda doctors. Our kitchen creates balanced dishes that support digestion and steady energy, helping you feel nourished and supported throughout your programme.
Dining and Cooking Classes An opportunity to nourish, learn, and take Ayurveda home with you.
Our meals follow authentic Ayurvedic cooking principles, using fresh ingredients and traditional preparation to support balance and wellbeing. You will enjoy a variety of vegetable-based dishes, legumes, soups, and herbal preparations, with some meals influenced by Sri Lankan flavours such as dahl, beetroot curry, chickpea curry, and mallum.
You can also learn a selection of our recipes during afternoon cooking classes, or take home our Ayurveda cookbook to continue your journey.
