Bodhi Surf + Yoga cook

At the Bodhi Surf + Yoga lodge, our goal is to serve food that is real - healthy, wholesome, and nutritious. All without sacrificing deliciousness, of course. As much as we can, we make everything from scratch, using locally-sourced and organic ingredients whenever possible. Our recipes also take various dietary restrictions into account. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or lactose-intolerant? No problem.

We have plenty of alternatives and modifications in our arsenal which you'll likewise find in this book.

We believe that food is much more than food. A good meal is an expression of love. Enjoy this cookbook as a bit of love coming from our Bodhi kitchen in Bahia Ballena, Costa Rica to yours!
