of Jainism do not eat root vegetables such as<br />

potatoes, onions, garlic, carrots and beetroot.<br />

Jains do not eat yeast — so store-counter bread is<br />

not an option. Many Jains do not eat honey and<br />

intoxicants such as liquor (in any form) do not<br />

form part of the Jain way of life. For strict Jains,<br />

garlic, ginger and vinegar are also not permissible,<br />

and eggplants and pumpkin are avoided. Many<br />

Jains don’t include mushrooms in their diet.<br />

Jain Cuisine<br />

Frying, boiling, baking and slow-cooking are the<br />

most popular culinary methods used in preparing<br />

Jain dishes. Chefs can get creative with spices<br />

like cumin, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, poppy<br />

seeds, musk and fennel seeds. Ingredients such as<br />

cucumber, curry leaves and bell peppers are<br />

used liberally.<br />

In our recipe section, you will find a chapter<br />

on Jain cuisine. We suggest you practise making<br />

these recipes and delight your guests with new,<br />

innovative ways of presenting healthy and<br />

delicious meals.<br />

You will also find a list of ingredients at the end<br />

of this chapter that will assist you in translating<br />

Jain or Indian recipes for local requirements.<br />

Bear in mind that food needs to be prepared<br />

freshly on a daily basis.<br />
