Chandigarh 15th
November:- Renowned Celebrity Chef Rakhee Vaswani,
a stalwart in the F&B industry demonstrated a special master class on Child
Nutrition today for the parents of Chitkara International School, Chandigarh.
Chef Rakhee Vaswani is a celebrity chef, culinary expert, teacher, author,
cooking show host, entrepreneur and above all, a food lover at heart. Certified
by Le Cordon Bleu at Gordon Ramsay’s Tante Marie in London. She began her
culinary journey at the tender age of 11, keenly observing her aunts cook
delicious food that caught her fancy and her heart.
Chef Rakhee, who is also
the author of celebrated cook-book 'Picky Eaters' based on healthy cookingideas,
provided nutritious recipes for parents to deal with “Picky Eaters”. The
workshop commenced with Chef Rakhee sharing interesting and useful tips
highlighting benefits of nutritious food (Lunch-box ideas), while also
suggesting options to deal with meal-time battles. Engaging workshop by
chef Rakhee saw both children and parents coming together and preparing some
easy and healthy tiffin box recipe options, while Chef Rakhee demonstrated the
process.
Parents of Chitkara
International School enjoyed the demonstration of 3 simple and healthy
Continental, Italian and Indian dishes. The extensive menu for the workshop
included Quinoa and Corn Bruschetta made with healthy white sauce - This recipe
is a fancy appetizer that is filled with nutrition and is very tasty at the
same time. The tricks of hiding nutrition in tasty food were taught through
this recipe, Granola Bars- Granola Bars with nuts and grains are easy to carry
and snack-on anytime. The shape is like that of a chocolate bar making it
exciting for children and Oats
Tikki Frankie wrapped in Palak Roti - Oats are a nutritious and healthy grain
which keeps the stomach full for longer hours also providing necessary fibre.
An Oats tikki with vegetables is a way of making oats more fun and appealing to
children. Palak Roti instead of the usual cornflour bread is a far better
option and gives the dish an overall boost of taste and health.
While interacting with media Chef Rakhee said that as a mother she is constantly
struggling to keep junk food at bay and provide her children with options which
are appealing as well as healthy and nutritious. She is extremely grateful to
Chitkara International School for giving her this opportunity to help spread
the word among mothers who face similar problems. She is hoping to make a
fruitful change and work towards a healthier future.
Dr. Niyati Chitkara,
Principal, Chitkara International School, said that children sometimes tend to
become Picky Eaters while receiving monotonous food items daily in their lunch
boxes, which further creates a big problem when they grow up as an adult.
Today’s Chef Rakhee’s workshop was an attempt to enlighten the participants on how to cook visually appealing and immensely tasty dishes
that were extremely healthy at the same time. The art of hiding vegetables and
nutrition-high ingredients in kid's lunch boxes were taught through easily
replicable recipes in this cooking and baking workshop.
