“All my earlier books were written with the intent of spreading gyaan – ways to eat better, get healthier, live holistically, lose weight the right way, exercise right, be mindful, avoid deficiencies and lifestyle disorders,” Kavita Devgan says of her motivation to write her sixth book, 500 Easy, Delicious, Healthy Recipes: Simple Tricks for Stress-Free Cooking. “So I thought it was time to make life easier for everyone with a book, a tool that can help them put all that gyaan in practice. Also, in my practice as a weight loss and holistic health consultant, most people request for healthy recipes all the time… so the concept of this book has been churning in my mind for a really long time. The idea is very simple: it is to actually help people eat all the foods that they know they must eat but just don’t for myriad reasons. It is structured to make cooking easy, accessible, and actually fun, with the hope that this will encourage them to cook more at home. Because I believe that cooking more and eating more home-cooked food is a non-negotiable lifestyle change that we need to make to get and stay healthy. I feel the pandemic has made the world realise that it is best to eat more at home, and I am hoping this lesson sticks. All people now need is encouragement and self-belief that it is doable and I believe this book will do this job well.”
