Find out why Rebecca Rothbaum of the Poughkeepsie Journal, wrote: Healthful, nutritious food often suffers a reputation, deserved or not, as bland, dry and generally unappealing. Kusum Gupta is doing her best to turn that notion on its head.
Kusum Gupta is the author of Recipes with a Spice - Indian Cuisine for Balanced Nutrition, a collection of 260 recipes from different regions of India, using whole grains, lentils, vegetables, and different spices and herbs. A graduate of Delhi University, Gupta worked for IBM in the US for nearly 25 years before retiring in 1992.

Sweet-N-Slo: Using Slo-Carb Agave Nectar in Gourmet Dipping Sauces:
Organic Nectars
At the recent ExpoWest, the world's largest natural foods expo held in Los Angeles in March '05, keynote speaker Andrew Weil, M.D., leading expert on nutrition and health, pointed out that one of the top health concerrns facing Americans today is "diabesity," the link between diabetes and obesity. This epidemic is caused largely by the standard American diet of overprocessed, overcooked fast foods, depleted grains and highly refined sugars and chemical sweetners. Americans are currently in a chronic state of malnutrition even though they're eating more than ever before.
According to Brenda Davis, RD and Tom Barnard, MD, authors of Defeating Diabetes
and noted dieticians and nutritional scientists, "the one caloric sweetner that stands out above all others for people with blood sugar challenges is agave syrup, which has a lower glycemic index than any other nutritive sweetner."
At Organic Nectars, we apply our culinary, nurtitional and promotional expertise to offer gourmet-quality raw, organic component condiments and develop recipes to inspire the food industry and home chef. To replace refined sugars and corn syrup, we use only pure, low glycemic ingredients such as our 100% raw, organic agave nectar, integrating it into all cuisines. At our presentation at the Women's Health Expo, we'll demonstrate how to create easy-to-make Asian dipping sauces and discuss how you can incorporate this revolutionary sweetener into your day-to-day cooking repertoire for healthy, delicious and fulfilling dishes.
