Book Description
About the Book A BOOK ABOUT THE HIDDEN BENEFITS OF INGREDIENTS COMMONLY FOUND IN MOST INDIAN KITCHENS. Did you know that a couple of bananas a day can lower your blood pressure? That nineteenth century sailors used to eat potatoes to fight scurvy? That Ayurveda considers rice the perfect healing food? That George Bernard Shaw was a brinjal-loving vegetarian? That turmeric could be anti-carcinogenic? That urad dal is an aphrodisiac? Ratna Rajaiah takes a walk down memory lane, only to find it redolent with the aromas of her mother’s and grandmother’s kitchens, and lined with the spices and condiments of her youth. Pausing often, she meets old culinary friends – coconuts and chillies, mangoes and jackfruit, ragi and channa dal, ghee and jaggery, mustard seeds and curry leaves – and introduces us to almost-forgotten joys, like the sight of steaming kanji or the scent of freshly cut ginger. Taking detours, she shares recipes for old favourites (often with a surprising twist!) and reveals delightful slivers of trivia and fascinating nuggets of gastronomic history. Delving deep, she discovers that traditional fare is much more than comfort food (many local ingredients are health-giving and healing too!) and that much of what the West is discovering about herbs and spices has been known to our ancestors for centuries. An unabashed and wonderful ode to the blessings of simple, traditional vegetarian food.

Book Description

Have we been able to ensure a healthy life and adequate health-care for our millions – especially the marginalised? Are the numerous celebrated Super-Speciality Hospitals, with their proud teams of highly qualified specialist doctors, their Five-star ambiences extruding an aura of comfort for the patients, and their state-of-the-art imported equipment, an indicator of our having achieved high standards in health-care? Does health-care mean disease-care alone? Rather, does it not mean ensuring clean environment, safe drinking water, balanced food in adequacy, good hygiene and sanitation and good lifestyle habits – so that the root causes of diseases may be eradicated? What should be the priorities in medical education, and what aptitudes and attitudes should we look for, and foster in aspiring doctors? What are the good practices in health-care obtaining in the developed world, which we may emulate? A committed professional with over three decades of tireless service in the field of medicine and medical teaching, shares his thoughts on these and much more… A must-read for every doctor, every medical student, everyone who is health-conscious and for everyone who has the interests of society and his fellow men at heart…

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
VERY SPECIAL GIFT Dr. Kusum Lunia has rendered yeoman’s service to the cause of vegetarianism by writing this treatise. She has not only marshalled powerful arguments to prove the benefits of vegetarianism; but has also dealt with the subject in a scientific and clinical manner. Her canvas is vast enough to include all religions and thinkers of east and west in support of their main thesis; that meat-eating is neither ethical nor healthy for human beings. I am sure this book will be able to persuade many non-vegetarians to accept vegetarianism as their creed. It is only in India that vegetarianism is considered as creed. Vegetarian-ism as a creed is a very special gift of India to the world. Indian vegtarianism is not born out of any convenience or convention; but it is the outcome of a deep conviction in the principle of non-violence preached by Lord Mahavira. This book should be translated into major foreign languages. This book in English is warmly welcomed because the English-knowing elite in India are more prone to non-vegetarianism. Non-vegetarianism and the awe of English are the twins of hypocrisy among the newly emerging elite of India. Dr. Lunia’s book is an admirable effort at an extraction of the thorn of meat-eating by the other thorn of English. My best wishes to Dr. Kusum Lunia. —Dr. V.P. Vaidik [email protected]
