Mithalee's Ayurvedic Bone Broth
Bone broth has a long history in Āyurvedic cooking and medicine. In the Mansa Varga (meat group), it has been glorified as anti-ageing and strength providing (must be all that collagen!). To accommodate its digestible properties, it is best prepared with aromatic, pungent and salty flavours, and enjoyed warm. Known as asthi rasa or mamsa rasa, it is also known to be nourishing to deep tissues.

Asha's Big Chaat Salad
When we were developing our house Chaat Masala, I knew it was destined for a truly dreamy salad. This salad relies heavy on lots of allium goodness. First, white or yellow onion is fried until golden and crisp. Then, the onion-infused oil is used as a base for a sweet 'n' tangy dressing with tamarind, lime, and jaggery. And lastly, fresh red onion adds sweetness, sharpness, and crunch to the finished dish.

Laura's Spicy Shaved Zucchini Summer Salad
I use a soft vegan cheese made here in Canada called VegNature. It’s cashew based and fermented with a crust of herbs/spices. It kind of looks like a typical goat cheese log and eats that way too. If you can’t find something similar in your area, the Minimalist Baker site has an easy recipe for a homemade version here. I used Brightland’s new Parasol champagne vinegar, but lots of other vinegars would be good: white wine vinegar, white balsamic vinegar, and regular balsamic vinegar all work.

Beet & Avocado Salad with Roasty-Toasty Dressing
If I could dream up the perfect winter salad, this would come very close. Lots of beets — slowly roasted to concentrate their natural, earthy sweetness — wedges of creamy avocado, tender lettuces and a handful of bitter chicories, all adorned with the roastiest, toastiest dressing, starring Nandini Coriander, Nagauri Cumin, fennel seeds, and Wild Ajwain. The dressing also gets a triple dose of lemon from lemon zest, juice, and preserved lemon.
