Discover a holistic approach to food with India’s leading nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar. In this book, she embarks on a year-long journey with her readers, highlighting the rich tapestry of seasonal eating – how, by following simple recipes, one can embrace the abundant variety of nature’s harvests across different seasons.

In this book, she explores the traditional Indian concept of mitahara, or the idea of measured food, which is attuned to the needs of one’s body and mind, seasons, and sustainability. Her recipes incorporate the healing properties of ingredients and are rooted in community building, traditions, and culture. Anecdotes drawn from the author’s personal journey as well as core Indian and yogic food wisdom help the reader make lifestyle changes that are easy and seamless, paving the way to incorporating clean and healthy food practices.

This book is as much about the nourishment of the body as the mind and the soul.
