The Lean Indian Cookbook: Delicious, Healthy, Low Fat, Fast & Easy
FREE
What ever happened to good old-fashioned home cookin’? Canned foods, boxed mixes and frozen dinners have created a new convenience that many of us have come to depend on. All of our most cherished foods come ready-made, like ice cream, mayonnaise and bread, and we hardly ever realize that such things can be made at home.
In recent years, people have become more conscious of health and fitness, partly to cure some of the problems that such food has produced, and partly because of the culture. It’s often a “quick fix” for the problems associated with our sedentary lifestyles in the work place and at home. In theory, such lifestyles are great, but, in practice, they become much more difficult to maintain.
In our Lean Series of cookbooks, we sought to make some of the most culturally-iconic dishes healthy again.
