As the weather turns and warm weather recedes, our appetites change. Our bodies crave more substantial food in preparation of the cool change ahead. This Adzuki Bean cottage pie is a much-requested favourite at Byron Yoga Centre retreats.

This decadent, summery cake is great for reducing excess Pitta, especially good for all doshas during hot weather. Not only is it quick and easy to make, it’s almost healthy!

In this season of sweet tooth indulgence, it's nice to know that some treats aren't all empty calories but as nutritious as they are yummy. Feel good about dessert this Christmas with this moist and delectable slice of nuts, seeds and fruits.

This spinach and pear is sweet, tart, creamy and delicious. A perfect salad for summer, filled with potassium, magnesium, vitamins A and C and calcium.

At the recent winter yoga retreat at our Byron Bay Yoga Centre, so many participants requested recipes from retreat chef Gitam Garden that a book is underway. In the meantime, here is one of our favourites, warming spinach and fetta Hunza pie, an old hippie favourite.
