A Complete No Fad No Diet No Nonsense Handbook for Healthy Cooking
And That Too In A Jiffy If you have ever wondered how you can be
healthy without dieting, following any peculiar fads, eating any
esoteric foods, injecting any hormones or downing any pills,
potions or supplements, you have come absolutely to the right
place. In fact, without bothering about the risk of sounding so old
fashioned, author Prasenjeet Kumar (of the celebrated website
cookinginajiffy.com and the writer of the "How to Cook Everything
in a Jiffy" series of cookbooks) declares that he does not think
that anyone should be on a perpetual diet to stay healthy. In this
book, therefore, he recommends that you do not follow any of the
rather peculiar diet regimes such as a low carb high protein diet,
low fat diet, Vegan diet (unless you truly believe in the vegan
philosophy) or any kind of crash diets. From his own experience, he
says that that they will all do you more harm than good. Instead,
the author recommends going to the basics that of following a
balanced diet regime. In that background, the book presents a
veritable cornucopia of easy recipes to give you an idea of what
you can cook to achieve your target of having regularly a balanced
diet. You will find ideas on how to cook your vegetables in a
simple and tasty manner, how to handle pasta recipes, chicken
recipes, fish recipes, mutton recipes, milk shakes (even if you
hate drinking plain milk), breakfast recipes, lunch and dinner
recipes and some Asian recipes when you feel the need to have
something different and exciting. Surprisingly, you will find some
supposedly "unhealthy" recipes as waffles, pancakes, French toasts,
lasagne and lamb moussaka too in this "healthy" cookbook. The
author's short answer is, that the wonderful taste of these dishes
makes you happy and being happy (and full of serotonin) is more
than half way to being healthy. Moreover, as the author believes,
any sensible person will have these dishes only once-in-a-while
when you are bored eating your regular stuff. Again, quite boldly,
the author declares that personally he does not count calories in
his diet, oops recipes. He feels that counting calories can
actually drive you mad. This book celebrates exactly this very
viewpoint and deliberately with some justifiable pride eschews
providing any calorific or nutritional information for the listed
recipes. If you want to still count calories, feel free to do so by
taking advantage of so many tools that are readily available on the
internet, the author advises. At the end of this book, there are
tips relating to how you can manage to have five to six small meals
a day, regardless of your busy schedule, how you can exercise even
if you are not a "gym person," how to freeze and preserve leftovers
and finally how to sequence and parallel process your actions so
that you save time while cooking your meals. So if you are sick of
dieting, counting calories, or gorging on supplements, do consider
investing in this book of simply sensible cooking and get on to a
journey of eternal joy and happiness. This is the author's third
book in the series "How To Cook Everything In A Jiffy." His first
book "How To Cook In A Jiffy Even If You Have Never Boiled An Egg
Before" is touted as the "easiest cookbook on earth" that a newbie
should never leave his home without. His second book "Home Style
Indian Cooking In A Jiffy" explores the contours of what sets
Indian "Home Style" food so apart from restaurant food. With an
amazing compilation of over 100 delectable Indian dishes, many of
which you can't get in any Indian restaurant for love or for money,
this book in an easy step-by-step manner makes this mysterious,
never disclosed, "Home Style" Indian cooking accessible to anyone
with a rudimentary knowledge of cooking and a stomach for
adventure.
