We approach food with your health in mind and we use Ayurveda, the Indian “science of life”, as our model.
According to Ayurveda, your health depends largely on your Agni, or “digestive fire” and our goal is to kindle that flame.
In Ayurveda, all foods are classified as either “light” or “heavy” for digestion. In general, meats are heavier than vegetables, beans or grains. Raw food is heavier than cooked. And preserved food is heavier than fresh.
At Kindle Cafe we serve predominantly “light” foods and therefore we serve predominantly vegetarian fare.
Most food we serve is in fact vegan. Occasionally we will “finish” a dish with an animal product like ghee, butter or cheese, but more frequently we will use a vegetable-based fat like coconut or olive oil.
We do serve eggs at brunch and occasionally use them in dressings or desserts. We do use honey. Sugar is used sparingly.
Flavor profiles depend on the ingredients used and the inspiration behind the dish.
Our favorite styles are Californian, Thai, Indian, Italian and Southwestern U.S. cuisine.
