Nirvana

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cultures of South Asia have a long religious history involving the quest to obtain Nirvana.  Nirvana is expressed as the key goal in the life of a soul.  There have been many paths presented over time, for obtaining nirvana.

One of the most recognizable philosophies for obtaining nirvana is the eight-fold path.  We present to you a journey through food, reinventing the eight-fold path.  Our journey is through right nectar, right palate, right tools, right substance, right foundation, right binding, right compliment, and finally the blissful end.

 

We hope that in taking this journey, through the taste of Nirvana, your soul, and stomach, will be alleviated from the pressures of daily life.
