Whether it’s fresh green peas or luscious red strawberries, this is the time to feast on them! Try our recipes for

delectable strawberry based goodies, and stock up on the green peas so you can experiment with them all through

the year.

 

In our bid to provide enlightening articles for our readers we have a special feature on spinach, which can be used in

Mrs. Tarla Dalal lived a life that we cannot forget, one that we can learn from. Beneficiaries will remember her charities. Men and women, young and old, will remember her cookery lessons, just as friends will remember her life lessons. Her team will always remember her unrelenting perfectionism and affable demeanour. Her family will always remember her love, care and warm hug.

We stand by the faith that she is forever – not just as memories but also tangibly. She has left behind a legacy – not just to be remembered but to be continued. As a tribute to her, her team of professionals – honed under her direct supervision – has resolved to continue her legacy and continue to bring out many more books and on-line content based on the treasures she has left behind.

Together, let’s continue her work, her charities, her good spirit. Let’s make sure she lives on!

Don’t you love this time of year when one colourful festival follows another! Add to your celebratory mood with our special articles, beginning with a lovely floral decoration by Anuradha Pittie for Navaratri, and another for Diwali. Bring colour and fragrance into your homes even as you experiment with festive fare in your kitchens!

For the Festival of Lights this year we have an unusual menu comprising of waffles, smoothies and cupcakes! Surprise your guests with this unconventional offering and watch their eyes light up at this refreshing change from traditional sweets and Diwali farsaan.

No festival is complete without saffron, the most exclusive of all spices, so enjoy our recipes, before checking out our other suggestions for special meals. We introduce you to three popular gravies that you can add to vegetables or koftas and create lip-smacking restaurant-like meals at home. You can also add a distinctive flavour to your menus with unusual methi fenugreek) based preparations. Remember to introduce a healthy quotient in your festive meals in the form of sprouts, which are almost 40 % more nutritious than unsprouted pulses or legumes.

If you’re looking for something less elaborate how about instant idlis and dosas that require no fermenting? Serve them at breakfast time or even as mini meals when you tire of rich festive food over the next couple of months.

Don’t let the stress of having everything just perfect for the festival season get to you. Take some time off to read our suggestions on how to relax, and eat right, and enjoy this special time with family and friends.

Adding weight to our regular features for diabetics, hungry kids and Jains among others, are very interesting articles by our contributors. I would like to thank Yogi Ashvini, Khetsi Maithia, Dr. Surya Bhagwati, Bhavvikk Sangghvi, Nupur Krishnan and Naini Setalvad for their efforts.

Have a Safe and Prosperous Diwali and New Year!

Summer is finally over! As I write this, the monsoon has covered the entire country, washing grimy cities of their layers of dust, and bringing with it long-awaited cooler climate. It’s time for steaming cups of tea and hot bhajias fresh off the stove!

 

This year, we’ve decided to take a break from traditional Indian-style monsoon goodies. Instead we offer you a range of crisp and crunchy Chinese starters that you can enjoy with equal relish when it’s wet and cold outside!

If you are brave enough to venture out in the rain, you will probably be tempted by the chatpata street food that seems even more alluring in this season. There’s no guarantee how hygienic this sort of food is, so instead of risking your health, recreate your favourite street food in your own kitchens. It’s not difficult and you can enjoy it at a leisurely pace at home with a family and friends.

 

Another interesting article is the one on feta cheese. Learn how to make this otherwise expensive cheese at home and use it in preparations ranging from salads to sandwiches. 

 

While you’re on a culinary spree, make sure your spice rack is well stocked. You can’t cook Indian food without spices like cardamom and cinnamon, among others. In this issue we introduce you to these two spices, both of which not only lend immense flavour and aroma to food, but also have many health benefits.

 

Meanwhile, if you have school-going children, you are probably faced with the eternal dilemma of how to satiate their endless hunger pangs. We suggest innovative and attractive options that you can pop into their tiffin boxes or have ready for them when they take a break in their regular routine.

 

Stay healthy through the season. Don’t give in to temptations indiscriminately and then skip meals to make up! It’s a good idea to eat a low cal, healthy meal at lunch time – try and catch up on your requirement for nutrients at this time, so you can go easy on calorie-laden food later in the day. My nutritionist has put together some suggestions to inspire you!

All our regular features are in this issue as well – enjoy them as usual! Before I sign off, I would like to thank our contributors - Naini, Nupur, Swati, Bhavikk and Sonal – for their informative and interesting articles that add so much value to our magazine.

It’s vacation time! Exams are finally over and children and their mothers are heaving huge sighs of relief. While children are looking forward to enjoying their free time, their mothers are relishing the prospect of a break from routine. However, children tend to eventually get bored even of playtime, and boredom often leads to hunger! Why don’t you introduce them to the joy of the kitchen? We’ve put together a range of easy-to-make recipes for different age groups. With a little help from mom or an older relative, kids will love the task of putting together ingredients, and creating mouth wat

The great thing about this country is the number of festivals we have the opportunity to celebrate through the year. I would like to begin by wishing all our readers a very happy, colourful and safe Holi! May you enjoy the festival with family and friends over chatpata chaat and chilled drinks! And while we are talking about celebrations, let me remind you not to miss our article on mocktails – your guests will love the attractively garnished alcohol-free concoctions we’ve introduced.

It’s almost the end of the year and the last and most eagerly awaited festival is finally here - Christmas! It’s a time for good cheer and delectable goodies and X’mas parties full of fun and high spirits. This year we are introducing you to something different – a variety of truffles that will truly delight chocolate lovers. Pack them in decorative boxes and give your loved ones a wonderful surprise over the festive season!

This is my favourite time of year and I eagerly look forward to all the festivities that are coming up. I love the planning and the preparation involved in ensuring that my family and friends enjoy all the festivals as much as I do. 

How can I forget my readers at this time? Make your festive season truly memorable with a lovely range of sweets that I have selected for you, with help from Mumbai’s Popular Caterers. With just a little imagination, you can create mouth watering offerings for your guests this year, and I guarantee they will be talking about them for months to come.

By the time you read this, summer should be over and the refreshing breezes of the monsoon are probably cooling you off. The rainy season is the ideal time for hot goodies with endless cups of chai and in this issue we provide you with a range of exciting monsoon recipes. What better way to start than with innovative bhajias that get you into the spirit of the season? 
Corn is also synonymous with the season, so treat your friends to a variety of corn-based preparations.  Add some unusual starters made from baby potatoes and you’ll have a truly memorable meal.
