This time winter wrapped all of us in its soothing cold air for a long time, tempting us to indulge in all kinds of warm, comforting food. But as the days get warmer and summer beckons, it’s time to eat sensibly again. The focus in this issue is on health – we can never take enough care of ourselves! The World Health Organization celebrates World Health Day on 7th April, and to commemorate the occasion my team of nutritionists has a gift for you – a comprehensive health platter along with suggested serving sizes! Eating healthy doesn’t always mean you have to completely avoid your favourite food.

Interesting recipes of course are the mainstay of the magazine and this time we have focused more on Continental recipes. Try your hand at the basic margherita pizza before you get more adventurous, and then move on to our easy step by step recipe for a sumptuous sizzler. Our budget food article is on Mexican cuisine, and you will be amazed to discover how economically you can make your favourite dishes at home. For pav bhaji fans, we suggest ways to innovatively use left-over bhaji. And for those who think dessert is the best part of a meal, we have a truly delectable chocolate cake laid out for you!

The issue won’t be complete without your favourite features like Just for Jains, Diabetes Special, When Your Child Comes Home Hungry, and many more. Enjoy reading...and we’ll meet again in the next issue with some special summer recipes!
