Description: Indian food is an internationally popular cuisine, yet it is often considered, unfairly, to be heavy, rich and indulgent. With more people than ever before turning to healthy home cooking, there has never been a better time for a fresh and lighter take on Indian food, one that Mira is creating with her vibrant and healthy cooking style. Inspired by her mother's and grandmother's cooking, Mira Manek's style of food is a modern interpretation of the Indian classics, creating utterly delicious and naturally healthy dishes. As well as offering the best and most naturally healthy Gujarati receipes, Mira also recreates some perennial favourites, replacing traditionally used grains and sugar with more healthy ingredients such as millet, chia and jaggery, and cutting down on oils and fats, to make her dishes even healthier. Whether cooking a filling spicy curry, a soulful brunch, a nutritious light meal or a luscious dessert, Mira's dishes spring to life with colour and a richness of flavor and spicing, each fit for a feast.
