Krishna Kitchen

Cleanliness is important in cooking for Krishna. Wash your hands before you begin. Don't taste the food while cooking; the meal is for Krishna’s pleasure, so He should taste it first.

It’s best to have a new set of dinnerware used only for Krishna’s offerings and not used by anyone else.

Preparing and offering food to the Lord shows Him our devotion and gratitude. Krishna doesn’t need to eat, of course, but He accepts the love with which we offer food to Him.

After offering to Krishna, the food is now prasadam, or 'mercy' from Krishna, and should be respected and shared with others.

Offer the preparations to Krishna while reciting specific prayers, acknowledging the spiritual master and Lord Chaitanya.
