Indian Food Sense , designed to appeal to the health conscious gourmet, brings together the nutritional expertise and culinary abilities of Ruth N Davidar, who firmly believes that sound nutrition is not about eating poorly prepared, tasteless food merely because it s good for you .

The first highlights the rudiments of nutrition, and is meant to dispel notions on food and health that are often inaccurate, inadequate, contradictory or just plain confusing. It also provides valuable insight into the culinary wisdom of ancient India which is today established in scientific fact. The second section is a compilation of traditional Indian recipes with emphasis on low-fat cooking, a celebration of taste drawn from regional cuisine. The recipes are written in easy-to-follow steps so that even a beginner can attempt to cook Indian food. It is for people who care about what they eat and why. It is a gastronomic experience that takes the worry out of making a prudent choice. It is all about eating wisely and well.

This book was written to share what I have learned slowly over time while raising children with milk and gluten allergies and emotional problems. We refused to use drugs to control the childrens temper problems and instead used probiotics, raw organic food, assorted grains, therapeutic essential oils, and a lot of love and prayers. Inside are healthy raw food recipes, gluten free recipes, money saving recipes, bread, canning recipes and a delicious collection of tried and true family favorites.

Learn to make healthy, delicious Indian food in your own kitchen! Too many cookbooks these days are filled with recipes that are either too weird or too time-consuming for the everyday home chef.

Easy, Healthy, Delicious Indian Recipes takes the opposite approach, only including recipes if they have a legitimate shot at becoming a favorite for the average cook. Don't sacrifice Simplicity shouldn't come with tradeoffs. Just because a recipe doesn't take a culinary degree to make doesn't mean it has an excuse to be bland! Indian food is known for its succulent tastes and tantalizing aromas, and it would be a crime to allow it to be anything other than delicious.By the same token, crave-worthy food should also be good for you. Our recipes are created under the Real Food framework, which follows the common-sense logic that nutrient-dense whole foods are healthier than nutrient-poor processed foods. We care about our bodies and our taste buds.

Containing a small assortment of recipes that you'll want to use over and over again, it is the ideal companion for the everyday home cook.

An all-encompassing and engrossing look at India—a land as diverse as its religions and as vibrant as its vast population. With a population second only to China's and the birthplace of Hinduism and Buddhism, it is hard to dispute India's central role in both the history of Asian culture and in the defining position it enjoys today. Although India has grabbed media attention for its armed conflict with Pakistan, it is a nation perhaps more notable for its internal diversity and challenges than for a single external conflict. India: A Global Studies Handbook unites the geography, history, culture, notable people, and events into a wide-ranging yet concise work that brings this fascinating land to the page. Of interest to academic and general audiences, this volume presents an uncomplicated look at the varied, bustling nation of India. From geography that includes the Himalayas to a cultural fabric built upon the often-criticized caste system, India remains a land of mystery and intrigue.

The “queen of Indian cooking” (Saveur) and seven-time James Beard Award–winning author shares the delectable, healthful, vegetable- and grain-based foods enjoyed around the Indian subcontinent. “The world’s best-known ambassador of Indian cuisine travels the subcontinent to showcase the vast diversity of vegetarian dishes. Best of all: She makes them doable for the Western cook.” —The Washington Post Vegetarian cooking is a way of life for more than 300 million Indians. Jaffrey travels from north to south, and from the Arabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal, collecting recipes for the very tastiest dishes along the way. She visits the homes and businesses of shopkeepers, writers, designers, farmers, doctors, weavers, and more, gathering their stories and uncovering the secrets of their most delicious family specialties. From a sweet, sour, hot, salty Kodava Mushroom Curry with Coconut originating in the forested regions of South Karnataka to simple, crisp Okra Fries dusted with chili powder, turmeric, and chickpea flour; and from Stir-Fried Spinach, Andhra Style (with ginger, coriander, and cumin) to the mung bean pancakes she snacks on at a roadside stand, here Jaffrey brings together the very best of vegetable-centric Indian cuisine and explains how home cooks can easily replicate these dishes—and many more for beans, grains, and breads—in their own kitchens. With more than two hundred recipes, beautifully illustrated throughout, and including personal photographs from Jaffrey’s own travels, Vegetarian India is a kitchen essential for vegetable enthusiasts and home cooks everywhere.
