Discover a holistic approach to food with India's leading nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar. In this book, she embarks on a year-long journey with her readers, highlighting the rich tapestry of seasonal eating - how, by following simple recipes, one can embrace the abundant variety of nature's harvests across different seasons. In this book, food is not just about balanced nutrition but also mindful eating, which incorporates the healing properties of ingredients, freshness and diversity through seasonal and regional variations, sustainability, and even community building and spirituality. The book is a reflection not only of Rujuta's food wisdom and philosophy, where she emphasizes Indian culinary traditions are as much about the nourishment of the body as the mind and the soul
