Food Philosophy

We treasure a slower and more harmonious rhythm of  life during food production, preparation and assumption.

Our food philosophy and  practice is based on the principles of  quality, health, vegetarianism, environmental sustainability and social justice—in essence, a food system that is prepared harmoniously,  good, compassionate, clean and fair.

Or ingredients are mainly organic, we avoid industrial food ingredients, frozen food, can food we do not use microwave ovens, our food prepared fresh every day using natural ingredients.

We follows Ayurvedic and Taoist macrobiotic principles of Yin and Yang balance in our food preparations.

We combine our Italian Slow Food heritage with Eastern philosophy to create vegetarian healthy tasty dishes for every meal.

Key Ayurveda nutrition principles

Satwic Food Nuts, fruits, fresh vegetables (except onions, garlic and herbs that inebriate), legumes, cereals, lentils and its integrated products like whole wheat flour, etc, sprouts, milk, and curd from real cows Rajasic Foods
All disease producing foods or satwic foods in excess, very salty, very sour, pungent, burning foods, excessively hot physically and chemically, full of spices, chilies, condiments and stimulants like tea, coffee, and chocolates. Tamasic Foods All stale, tasteless, putrid foods, like pickles, cheese, all alcoholic beverages, sedative drugs, tobacco, dagga, cocaine, meat, fish, eggs and all foods that slow you down physically and mentally.
Both tamasic and rajasic foods should be avoided so it does not really matter much about which foods are tamasic or rajasic. What is important is that one should eat more and more satwic foods until dependence on the other two are overcome gracefully.
Source of FoodThe food must be purchased from an honest source and with honestly earned money.

The Faith Of  Zoroaster

According to the tenets of  Zoroastrianism, a corpse is untouchable. It defiles men and materials. It is a sin to bring it near fire, much worse to cook any corrupt flesh.
Zoroaster enjoined care of animals for various reasons.
The sacred Hymns (Gathas) declare it a sin to annoy or persecute animals for games.
It is pointed out that the archangel Beheman (Brahman) who presides over the entire animal kingdom is highly displeased when men ill-treat animals. He is the Lord of heaven, and naturally those who are cruel to dumb animals would be debarred from entry into that realm
It is pointed out that God created vegetables and water for man’s consumption.
All offerings to God have to be absolutely clean and pure.
Animal sacrifices are prohibited by Zoroaster

By- Dastur Khurshed S. Dabu

He who does not seek to cause the sufferings of bonds of death to living creatures, but desires the good of all, obtains endless bliss.

He who does not injure any creature, obtains without an effort what he thinks of, what he undertakes, and what he fixes his mind upon.

Meat cannot be obtained without any injury to animals, and the slaughter of animals obstucts the way to heaven, let him, therfore shun the use of meat.

Having considered well the cruelty of fettering and slaying living beings, let him entirely abstain from flesh.

He who does not eat meat becomes dear to me, and will not be tormented by diseases.

He who permits the slaughter of animals, he who kills it,he who cuts it up, he who buys or sells meat, he who cooks it, he who serves it up, and he who eats it- all are slayers.

There is no greater sinner than the man who seeks to increase the bulk of his own flesh by the flesh of other beings: the laws of Manu 5, 45 to 52

Why Hunt ye these creatures of God? Be compassionate and tender, not to your kind alone but to every creature within your care. Jesus.
