LOW CALORIE VEGETARIAN COOK BOOK
Though Khazana of Healthy Tasty Recipes is full of well balanced low calorie recipes but there were many who could not quite relate to the title ‘Healthy Tasty Recipes’ and still asked for ‘Low Calorie Recipes’.
This compilation therefore is the result of the demand and need for a book on ‘Vegetarian Low Calorie Recipes’. Sedentary life styles and virtually no time to exercise forces many to go in for foods that are low calories. Added to this is the general understanding is that to lose weight or to maintain a steady weight one has to depend on low calorie food.
Great care has been taken to ensure that while the recipes are low calorie, their taste does not suffer.
Though the recipes here have been chosen from in and out of India, they have all been altered to suit the Indian taste. Some of the exoticas that can be found in this book are Creamed Pumpkin and Apple Soup, Vegetable Fried Rice with Herbs, Cyprus Tomato Soup, Orange Broccoli, Slimmer’s Salad in No Oil Dressing, Kesari Phirni which will give a fair idea of the treasures that can be found within its covers.
