GET A SMALL TASTE OF THE MAYAN SPIRIT

The pleasure of eating combined with its nutritive value is at the center of every meal. Rainforest recipes are flavorful and natural, supplying balanced energy throughout the day. The cuisine moves from the garden to the table in a matter of seconds, preserving the essence and vitality of the ingredients.

Gardening is the foundation of food. When you cultivate a garden, you see the miracle of growth each day, and taste the difference in every bite. Both a background in farming and a Bachelors of Culinary Nutrition from Johnson and Wales University contribute to my fresh and holistic philosophy.To become the best cook, you must grow what you eat. We are responsible for the fuel we feed our body and taking care of ourselves. The amount of chemicals and artificial substances in industrialized food today is actually sickening.Unfortunately, food masquerading as healthy and nutritious is often false advertising. Dietary claims do not provide essential information such as where or how or who produced our food. Volunteers are welcome to participate in the culinary program and develop this close connection to what we eat. Healthy Cuisine classes include harvest, preparation, and clean-up of daily meals. The following schedule is flexible.

• Breakfast and plan: 8 am – 9 am (After hour of morning work)
• Lunch and break: 12 pm -1 pm
• Dinner and wrap-up: 6 pm – 8 pm

Today it grows wild and cultivated in Maya villages throughout the world. The young leaves are ready to harvest in 3 weeks and last for many months. It is eaten as an excellent treatment for anemia, tiredness, constipation, and poor nutrition. Crushed leaves help stop bleeding on cuts and scrapes and cleans wounds and sores. The leaf juice is also used to strengthen women during pregnancy, stop excess menstruation, and increase lactation.

The dark leafy greens and tender steams can be boiled, sautéed, or eaten raw. It is packed with easy-to-digest iron, minerals, vitamins, and protein. Unlike spinach, amaranth greens don’t lose their minerals when cooked. I add it to soups, which infuses the broth with iron and nutrients. Scrambled with eggs, sautéed with onion and garlic, layered in casserole, the list continues. I use it almost everyday. My body craves calaloo.
