Mangrove Mountain sounds very exotic. It is, actually, being full of forests and farms and rural retreats. It's about two and a half hours drive north from Sydney to New South Wales' Central Coast, and is home for the followers of Satyananda Yoga. Here's an aerial view of the region.
Last year I conducted a successful cookery weekend for the staff members at the ashram, and, as planned, I returned again last weekend to teach a two-day cookery workshop to the public, entitled 'Anna Yoga - Cooking with Kurma'. Here's a potted tour of the weekend:
Our 24 ultra-enthusiastic team members pose with a few standard-issue kitchen bowls.
Father and son in action.
Some of our effulgent crew on cashew-bifurcation duties.
Showing them exactly how to roll a poorie.
Raj and Nitai grate coconut with a nifty machine.
Clare and Debi plan their attack.
The ever-colourful Inneke agape at the giant pot of matar panir.
Matt and Raj on cardamon grinding duties.
So many nuts and so little time.
