After the phenomenal success of 'Khana Khazana: A celebration of Indian Cookery'; 'Khazana of Indian Recipes' ; and ' Khazana of Healthy, Tasty Recipes', Sanjeev Kapoor has now come up with yet another winner. People who believe that healthy food cannot be tasty will be pleasantly surprised that there can be low calorie food with any number of mouth-watering options. Modern lifestyle has brought about a drastic change in our eating habits. Due to lack to time and the demands of a busy work schedule, many people end up eating fast food which is low in essential nutrients but high in calories.
Many other people lead a sedentary lifestyle and become obese. For such people this book is a boon since Sanjeev Kapoor offers healthy, low calories recipes without compromising either on the taste or the essential nutrients that the human body requires. The basic rule is to eat everything in the right proportions. Correct cooking methods, the use of right type of cooking medium, selecting food items, from which the body can draw all the nutrients that it requires - these are the few but essential things one must remember while cooking a meal so that its natural flavor remains intact.
Sanjeev Kapoor has made this easy by providing each recipe with the essential nutritional information. The wide range of recipes are a result of continuous research, trial and testing - nourishing soups, wholesome salads, delightful vegetable dishes, accompaniments and lip-smacking desserts can all be savored and one need not be on a restricted diet in order to stay fit. Eating the right kind of food is the key to healthy living. This book teaches one to do just that.
