There is a growing demand for healthy, organic and locally sourced options while you are on the move,” stated Chef Naveen Handa, Executive Chef, JW Marriott Hotel Chandigarh.

Consequently, nowadays Chefs and mixologists in the country are trying their level best to extract the most out of nature and deliver it to the people seeking more nutritional values, in the form of healthy dishes,” asserted Vishrut Gupta, Director of Food & Beverage, Pullman & Novotel New Delhi Aerocity.

Healthy Food - An Attempt to Meet Diners' Desire
Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3), one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations in 2015, was about "Good Health and Well-being". This could be said to be an eye-opener and the source of making people aware of maintaining their health, which became more pronounced due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Consuming healthy food, since then, has become a significant - if not imperative - element in lives of almost everyone. And this healthy and nutritious food is also playing a significant role in the success of restaurants. Diners are now becoming more particular about the food they consume, making the F&B outlets offer a diverse and appealing menu of healthy food options. Ashok Malkani tries to evaluate how the restaurants and chefs are meeting this desire for nutritious food by customers and what are some of the healthy food options.
