John 15:12Preface
In this fast-moving day and age, it has become a necessity to be as healthy as possible.
One of the ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle is by cooking food that is nutritious as well as low in calories. It does not mean that watching ones diet means good food has to be sacrificed. This is the aim of every cook who wants to maintain a figure as well as eat exotic food with lesser calories. The book has been written with the aim that the reader will embark on a journey of experimenting with the different recipes and incorporate them into a lifestyle that is healthy. These are all calorie-counted recipes to help you maintain a diet that includes all types of food. It is my hope and endeavour that you have fun trying out these recipes, which will allow you to embark on a journey of a lifetime.
Remember - you are very special because God created you. He loves you, so keep smiling! All suggestions and comments are welcome on my e-mail address: ktm_matjothi@sancharnet.in. God bless! Elizabeth Jyothi Mathew
