Cooking with Local Foods | Solitude Farm – Auroville Green Practices

Cooking with Local Foods | Solitude Farm

What

Learn how to use a diversity of local and seasonal greens, herbs, fruits, vegetables and millets to create a zero carbon footprint diet.

Where

Solitude Farm & Organic Kitchen, Founded 26 years ago in the international township of Auroville. Solitude is dedicated to natural farming, permaculture and demonstrating the value of local food and the bounty of mother nature.

Why

The crisis that we face in the world today is a result of the vast industrialisation on our planet. We have lost our relationship with Mother nature, a symptom of which is that we no longer know where our food comes from. Learning permaculture, natural farming and exploring local foods is the simplest solution we have to save our planet.

Information

The wealth of local foods, their nutritional and ayurvedic values reflects the greatness of this culture. Many of these foods have been eclipsed by the industrialised agriculture and this workshop aims teaching people how to revalue them in traditional and fusion cooking styles.

We will walk around the farm and harvest a diversity of local and seasonal ingredients – Vegetables, varieties of spinach, roots, fruits, seeds and flowers. Followed by preparing the harvest into various indigenous and new recipes; porridge, green smoothies, salad, adai, curry, chutneys etc
