Nutrition & Healthy Cooking

Everyday Indian meals that support strength, digestion and heart health.

All programmes

Advice to "eat healthy" is useless if it does not fit an Indian kitchen, a family menu or a budget. This programme cooks real food, in real proportions, for older appetites.

What the sessions cover

  • Protein at every meal - dals, curd, paneer, eggs, and how much is enough
  • Fibre for digestion, blood sugar and cholesterol
  • Less salt and sugar without losing flavour
  • Calcium and vitamin D for bone strength
  • Eating well with diabetes, high blood pressure or a reduced appetite
  • Reading food labels and avoiding misleading "health" claims

How it runs

Cooking demonstrations with tastings, plus simple printed recipes with local ingredients.

Who it is for

Older adults cooking for themselves or a spouse, and family cooks.
