Deepa Thomas ; foreword by Curt Ellis

slow-carb, new Indian cuisine

"Upon learning that rice and bread were the culprits for her husband's Type 2 diabetes, Deepa Thomas deconstructed and reinvented her native Indian cuisine. Deepa made anew seventy slow carb recipes, incorporating time-saving Western cooking techniques, breaking-news research on gut health and weight loss, and Ayurvedic wisdoms ('When diet is right, medicine is of no need; and when diet is wrong, medicine is of no use.'). After six months of cooking and eating 'New Indian,' Deepa lost twenty pounds and freed her husband from a ten-year routine of insulin shots. Part cookbook and memoir, Deepa's Secrets introduces breakthrough slow carb and gut-healing recipes that are simple and nutrient-packed, without sacrificing its rich South Asian flavors. On a mission to demystify and make healthy an 'exotic' cuisine, Deepa shares shortcuts and techniques that will make 'New Indian' everyday fare" --Back cover
