Chef Paul Presents

The reference card for everything.

Six tastes. Six instructions the body needs from every meal. When all six are present the body registers: complete. When any are missing the body keeps asking, which is why you reach for something after a perfectly good dinner.

Sweet builds. Sour activates. Salty enhances absorption. Pungent ignites. Bitter clears. Astringent signals done.

The two most absent from Western menus, bitter and astringent, are also the two that signal physiological completion. That is not a coincidence. It is the gap most menus have never closed.

Swipe through the full breakdown. Save this one, it is the framework behind every ingredient decision this month.

Month 3 is done.

We covered the six tastes, the three doshas, seasonal eating, world kitchen intelligence, Western Herbalism, food combining, and the framework behind every ingredient decision.

Month 4 goes deeper into all of it. More specific. More practical. More directly applicable to the kitchen you are actually cooking in, whether that is a home kitchen, a retreat, a corporate dining program, or a hospitality brand.

If you are new here, welcome. The framework behind the food is the practice of asking one question before every ingredient: does this serve the body that is going to eat it?

That question is what Month 4 is built around.

This is more than just a dressing. Curios on the creating this dressing? DM me CLASS and make it together on July 31st.

Let me tell you what July 31st is actually about.

We start with the six tastes of Ayurveda, which takes about 20 minutes and permanently changes how you look at every ingredient you cook with. Then we cook the Fennel Salad together, live, with every step explained through the framework we just built. Then we go through the Western herbal profile of every ingredient on the board, what each one is doing beyond its flavor.

And then, once you understand the full dish, I show you how to adjust it three ways. One version for Vata, one for Pitta, one for Kapha. Same dish. Three completely different bodies served.

That last part is the one that follows you out of the kitchen. Because it is not about this recipe. It is about knowing how to adjust any recipe for the specific body eating it, and once you can do that, you never have to cook the same way again.

July 31st. 10am to noon, Central.

Your cravings are not random. Your hunger patterns are not a personality trait. Your body has been communicating its constitutional type your entire life, through what it reaches for, what it avoids, how it responds to stress, and how it feels after different foods.

Ayurveda identifies three constitutional types; Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Most people are a combination of two with one dominant. And once you know yours, you stop guessing and start understanding.
