The Rose & Lotus
The Inner Seasons Cookbook
Cycle-synced recipes and ingredient highlights for every phase
A body moves through its own seasons each month. This cookbook follows them: an inner winter for rest, an inner spring for renewal, an inner summer for full bloom and an inner autumn for gathering in.
Each chapter pairs recipes with the ingredients that suit that phase, with notes on why each one belongs, drawn from the Garden's ingredient pages.
