Three Healthful Meals – Enjoy the Flavor!
Vérité is known for its organic, vegetarian kitchen, where our guests can sign up for 1, 2 or 3 meals per day. Produce comes first from Vérité's garden, then Auroville farms, and then from local organic distributors. We support organic agriculture because we value healthy food, the land, the planet and its biodiversity.
Our cuisine is Western-Indian fusion, with an Ayurvedic influence; flavorful but not too spicy, with healthy oils and nutritional balance. Our staff is well trained in hygienic food preparation, so even the raw produce is safe to eat. With advance notice, special dietary needs can be accommodated (e.g. food allergies and sensitivities).
Guests eat with Vérité residents, staff, and faculty in the dining hall, making meal times a rich opportunity for socializing and networking. Quiet tables are also available for those preferring to eat in silence. Everyone takes care of washing and drying their own dishes. Guests are also welcome to offer additional help with food preparation and cleanup.
Cooking sessions can be arranged for groups (contact Vérité programming for more information).
