Today we baked a cake in the bread machine that is here in Ashram. It is still too warm to eat it but we will enjoy it soon. We are anyway all enjoying the food here very much. When we are traveling we are also cooking Indian food but it can never really taste like here because you do not get the same vegetables, fruits and herbs. And if you get it there it will taste completely different than here. In a spice box we always carry Indian spices with us on our journeys. Our food never has any garlic, onion, chili, egg or meat. As vegetarians, grown up in Vrindavan where you cannot find meat and eggs in any dish, we never ate meat or egg. I also never ate onion or garlic because it is not yogic food. It changes the energy in the body. Additionally I do not like the smell. My parents also never ate it. Chili however is a different story. My mother and my grandmother both love chili. I just do not like it because you cannot taste anything else when your tongue is burning from that. And food can be very nice with other spices. So whenever you come to visit Ashram you will taste how delicious food can be when it is cooked in this way with much love.

How is onion and garlic meant to change the energy in the body in that culture of vegetarianism? Anybody know?
Haha, Those are my favorite ingredients.
I wonder how your body would react if you ate an onion or garlic accidentally today?
When I arrived and heard that the ashram family doesn’t eat onions and garlic and chilli, I thought, that the food might taste stuffy and boring. But now I think that every meal here is far from tasting boring. The food in the ashram is fantastic and I never would have guessed that that this also can have a great effect on your body. I feel on top of the world 😉
