Vegetarian Cookery Demo
(with Yoga and Meditation)
July 24-26 2026

In this cookery workshop, Carmen gives you a sample of familiar European food prepared in mouth-watering ways, plus Indian Vegetarian cuisine.

Carmen learned to cook first from her mother in Panama from age 7. Later, from age 18, she learned how to cook delicacies and tasty dishes with the head monk at the Krishna temple, Hari Chakra Das. Images of foods on this page are cooked by Carmen.
