Mira Manek's celebrates her family's heritage and traditions in this
delicious and enchanting take on Gujurati Indian food, rich with
beautiful dishes and reminiscences of Manek's family roots.
Indian food is an internationally popular cuisine, yet, unfairly, it is
often considered to be heavy, rich and indulgent. With more people than
ever before turning to healthy home cooking there has never been a
better time for a fresh and lighter take on Indian food - one that
Mira is creating with her vibrant and healthy cooking style.
Inspired by her mother and grandmother's cooking, Mira Manek's style of
food is a modern interpretation of the Indian classics, creating
utterly delicious and naturally healthy dishes. Whether you want to cook
a Saffron & Lime Chia Pot, an Indian Summer Salad, a Thali, a Masala
Almond Milk or a Mango Shrikhand Cheesecake, Saffron Soul combines the
best of the core elements of Indian cooking with original
health-promoting twists.
As well as offering the best and most naturally healthy Gujarati
recipes, Mira also recreates some perennial favourites, replacing
traditionally used grains and sugar with more nutritious ingredients
such as millet, chia and jaggery, and cutting down on oils and fats,
to make her dishes even healthier.
hether cooking a filling spicy curry, a soulful brunch, a nutritious
light meal or a luscious dessert, Mira's dishes vibrantly burst with
colour and a richness of flavour and spice, each fit for a feast.
