Jivamukti, New York City. Walk upstairs from bustling Broadway, and find yourself at the cross roads of yoga, vegan cafe, and retail shop full of the most intoxicating scents, and shelves of books that feed the soul. Tall ceilings adorned with Indian colors, stained glass windows, and sweet yogi images transport you from chaos to bliss.
I experienced euphoria at Jivamukti last Fall over one of founder Sharon Gannon's creations in the cafe after a legendary yoga class. It sounds so simple, but it was the spirulina millet that sold me. On that wet, damp day, before splashing over the sidewalks, I enjoyed a bowl of food that filled me back up after expending sweat and my voice (chanting). I so fondly remember that dish since, but have adopted my own version. The cauliflower is light, yet full of protein. The spirulina is a complete protein, and benefits the immune system, and also contains anti-viral properties. This dish is not only soul food, but body food.
