Her mother developed two brain tumors, which people believed were connected to her losses. In the process of her mother getting better, MaryRuth became excited to learn about health and wellness to help her mother thrive. MaryRuth believes that each person has an entrepreneurial spirit. MaryRuth used to be an athlete. The competitive spirit of doing difficult things merged into her business. How MaryRuth Kept Her Positive Mindset MaryRuth enjoyed being with her team and is passionate about being a team builder. Take care of yourself first, then your employees. Eventually, extend that to your customers. Build a strong company culture. A healthy and mission-driven company has authentic customer interactions. MaryRuth decided to get herself out of debt first before hiring an employee. What Prompted Her to Write Her Book MaryRuth has been teaching the contents of the book for quite a while. She finally started writing it during COVID. MaryRuth is passionate about the book because she believes that health and wellness should be free and accessible to everyone. She noticed that very successful people have the money but are always too busy working to take care of themselves. On the other hand, there are people with no money that need to be mindful of their health and The book is composed of 12 free and accessible actions that anyone can do, regardless if they have money or not. Dealing with the Pandemic It made MaryRuth feel even more empathy for every single person. The pandemic created so much loss, like the loss of going out or meeting your friends. Collectively, everyone is more interested in health and wellness now. MaryRuth went through pregnancy and gave birth to twins during COVID. The Key to Building a Good Team There are two qualities that MaryRuth values in a team: hard work and empathy. MaryRuth also wants her team to be humble. Beyond this, she makes sure to get direct feedback from her employees. MaryRuth conducted an anonymous culture survey among her employees. The results serve as a metric for MaryRuth to measure what's working and what needs to be improved on. On Self-Esteem Self-esteem comes from having a relationship with yourself. Asking people about their self-esteem allows you to reflect on your self-esteem. On Travelling and the Pandemic The first couple of months of the pandemic was great because people were able to rest. After a few months, we began to miss what was. Everything that was going on in the world added to the anxiety and stress of life. How MaryRuth Feels Radically Loved MaryRuth believes that the universe is pushing her forward and everything that is happening is for her ultimate good. She and her family believe that the universe only wants the best for them. 5 Powerful Quotes [8:15] “Once you give yourself a lot of energy through self-care, through wellness, then you can give that energy to your employees.” [13:10] “Sometimes the pain point in people's lives has so much to do with their gifts, and their purpose, and the things that will make them happy in the end.” [34:14] “If you want to be on the team, you got to be hard working but you got to have human dignity and empathy.” [38:01] “Our bodies are a direct feedback to what we're putting in and how we're treating it, and the things that we're doing.” [46:55] “Part of our ability to be present and to be mindful is to just appreciate what is.” About MaryRuth MaryRuth Ghiyam is the founder of MaryRuth Organics.

Join me for today's interview and cooking demo with Chef Richard LaMarita. Chef Rich is a Culinary Instructor in the Health Supportive Program at Institute for Culinary Education (ICE) in NYC. Formerly, he taught in the culinary program at the Natural Gourmet Institute, also in NYC. His specialties include Indian, Italian, vegetarian and vegan cuisines. He has worked with numerous chefs in NYC, including Floyd Cardoz, Dan Kluger and Ben Pollinger. Richard has been a practitioner and teacher of Ayurveda, the science of life, health and balance, for thirty-five years. He has studied with Vedic and Ayurvedic master Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and has led seminars on Ayurvedic diet, cooking, yoga and meditation throughout the U.S., and in Europe and Asia.We start our interview by discussing what is a well-balanced Ayurvedic meal. When you consider an Ayurvedic diet, you have to look at three points on a triangle. The first point is food; the second is the strength and power of our digestion (known as Agni in Ayurveda); the third point is how we eat – mindful eating. You can take the best food and even with a good digestion, you can mess it all up with how you eat. In Ayurveda, it's important to get the six tastes, ideally in one meal. Each taste affects the body differently. Each taste is composed of different elements in nature and affects the body differently. Some have a building effect; others, a purifying effect. For someone new to Ayurveda, how does she get started preparing a simple well-balanced meal? Ayurveda is deep, but there are things you can grab right away. Chef Rich recommends not to worry initially about the various aspects of food other than taste. Get a sense of the foods in each taste category. Starting out, work on getting the six tastes every day, then in each meal, and eventually, in one dish. It's important to know your dosha (your individual constitution) and master simple strategies for bringing yourself into balance. Chef Rich demos a simple Ayurvedic meal that you can easily prepare at home – a digestive mung dal kitchari with swiss chard and roasted cauliflower along with a fennel paratha. A kitchari contains a legume and a grain, a complete protein. It is stew-like and creamy. The combination of a legume and grain provides a complete protein. Turmeric is added to the cooking liquid along with salt. Rich prepares a tarka – spices toasted or cooked in ghee or oil: cumin and fennel seeds – adding fresh ginger and whole chile along with asafoetida. He adds the swiss chard to the spice/ghee mixture along with fresh curry leaves. As for the six tastes, here goes: sweet – basmati rice finished with roasted pistachio (roasted in ghee) ; sour – tamarind paste – a finishing touch (like squeezing fresh lemon); salty – salt and kombu; pungent – all the spices and fresh herbs – cilantro; bitter – leafy greens; astringent – mung dal and roasted cauliflower. The fennel seeds in the paratha gives it a great flavor – fennel also cleanses the lymph and is a good digestive spice. In this simple kitchari, Chef Rich incorporates all six tastes. You leave the table feeling completely satisfied which helps with cravings. This recipe can also be adapted for each season – focus on what's being harvested in your region.

Cooking is a science, but we don’t often think of our food on the molecular level. We think about a robust of a cup of coffee, without realizing it’s the volatile compounds giving it the rich flavor. Coffee has 1000 Volatile compounds, whereas lettuce has a mere 20. In this episode of Tech Bites, we talk food science with James Briscione. His new book, The Flavor Matrix, explains how ingredients combine on a molecular level and how the human body processes these elements into taste sensations. The recipes are organized by ingredient and flavor profiles, with infographics, photos and appendix providing additional data. The origins of the book are based in James’s time working with IBM’s Chef Watson, translating recipes into data. James Briscone is the Director of Culinary Research and a chef-instructor at the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) in Manhattan. Tech Bites is powered by Simplecast
On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, James Briscione turns big data into delicious recipes.. While Director of Culinary Research at the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE), Briscione worked with IBM's Watson computer to mapped out flavor combinations which challenged the pre concepts of what tastes good together, and why. From there, The Flavor Matrix was born! As a book, it's a guide to pairing ingredients chemically by their aromatic compounds. As a cook, you'll open up a world of creativity far past your personal palate of taste memories (e.g. garlic and cocoa, artichokes and sesame, corn and coconut).
