It highlights the method in which food is cooked promotes healthy eating – steam, broil and lightly sauté instead of frying or over-cooking. “As the reader will flip through the pages, she/ he will be educated not with just healthy recipes but also come across dietary myths which we often refer to as facts,” added Namita.
