Menu

All recipes are gluten-free, with dairy-free options.

Fresh Paneer Cheese

A vegetarian source of complete protein, paneer offers steady nourishment while being gentle on digestion. This staple recipe is the foundation for preparing the Almond-Crusted Cheese Sticks below—and many more delicious high-protein vegetarian dishes.

Almond-Crusted Cheese Sticks

A crowd-pleasing, high-protein appetizer with a satisfying crunch. This energizing side or snack delivers satiation without heaviness—making it an ideal addition to your holiday table and a nutritious upgrade from traditional finger foods.

Walnut–Pomegranate Sauce

This flavorful, creamy, and festive sauce combines the grounding richness of walnuts with the bright, digestive qualities of pomegranate. Traditional in Persian and Moroccan cuisine, its vibrant sweet-tart profile uplifts the palate, supports digestion, and pairs beautifully with both savory and lightly spiced dishes.

Sunflower–Beet Hummus

A colorful dip that blends the earthy sweetness of beets with the protein richness of sunflower seeds. This combination supports liver function, promotes healthy blood, and provides a steady source of plant-based protein. Versatile and vibrant, this hummus brings vitality and gentle detoxification to your winter table.

Roasted Vegetables & Chickpea Salad

Warm, grounding, and colorful, this salad offers the perfect balance of nourishment and satisfaction. Roasted winter vegetables provide deep mineral support and stable energy, while chickpeas contribute high-quality plant protein and fiber for smooth digestion and long-lasting fullness. Together they create a hearty dish that balances blood sugar and brings joy through color, texture, and flavor.

This is a demonstration style online cooking class. We recommend watching Divya prepare the recipes live while taking notes & asking questions, then using the recording and recipes to prepare the recipes in your home kitchen.
