Food Philosophy | Cooking Classes and Food Tours | Complete Menu | Recipes
Be part of a food revolution. At the Bosque, the emphasis on healthy living and active lifestyles involves consuming healthy, hearty foods that leave us nourished and satisfied. Our mission is to provide a well planned, interesting menu for all who visit or live at Bosque Village. Three vegetarian meals a day are included for all guests and residents, along with plenty of fruit for snacking in between meals.
Tindu Kitchen uses safe food handling techniques. All raw food is disinfected, and all water used is safe. We do not permit guests to help in the kitchen – though we welcome help on non-food related chores! We do offer several classes for those interested in learning cooking techniques, such as making homemade corn tortillas or baking traditional Mexican breads.
Basic food allergies can be accommodated; please be sure to let us know about any allergies before you visit. We recommend to those who are not accustomed to eating vegetables or whole grains: start introducing vegetables and legumes into your diet a week prior to your arrival!
Lunch and dinner are cooked with care for guests every day. Depending on how many guests are staying with us, we either provide a prepared breakfast or visitors cook their own breakfast, with ingredients we provide, in a shared kitchen.
Lunch is served at 2:00pm. Fitting with Mexican tradition, lunch is the heartiest meal of the day.
Dinner is served around 7:30pm, and is usually a light soup with bread.
Fruit is provided in several locations all day. Guests are welcome to bring additional snacks such as nuts and dried fruit. Please don’t bring packaged food products such as chips or candy to the Bosque. Coffee and tea are only offered during special events – for those who need a dose of caffeine in the morning, we suggest you bring some coffee with you.
