when was the last time when you paid
attention to the colors and the texture
of the food how many of you worry about
what you are eating why you are eating
and how you are eating for most of us
food is nothing more than the fuel for
the body but for me it’s little
different
I don’t eat to live I live to eat and
the reason is very simple
whatever you eat that’s what your body
will become and if you want to be bold
and beautiful
you have to eat bold and beautiful I am
founder and director of a food and
catering company I am neither a bon chef
nor a trained one but I will come to
that part of story little later for now
I want to talk about my passion my
passion is to bring happiness with
beautiful healthy and delicious food
when I talk to my customers I ask them
did you notice what did he just eat why
did you eat this and what it does to
your body and most of them replies we do
understand food we know what is in our
food we know what is the color what is
the texture what is the taste of the
food and we do appreciate the creator of
the food the chef and when they eat food
they enjoyed whatever they want to but
you know what actually happens whenever
the food come in front of us plated
beautifully our eyes pop out and so does
our mobile phone with the camera mode on
and we start taking pictures not picture
pictures for the perfect photo for a
social media we enjoy the aroma we take
the first bite we send the kudos to the
chef
great done and that’s it that’s where
our cinema ends after that we are busy
with everything else except food but our
cinema should continue not only after
bite till the end and after that but we
are busy with so many things that our
glamorous big cinema turns to a TV soap
series drama today I am NOT going to
talk about veganism vegetarian diets
meat fish flesh nothing I will talk
about only healthy delicious and
beautiful food and do you know you you
can live healthy life you can and you
can enjoy food and you can even turn
your food to super food just by paying
little attention just by knowing what
you are eating why you are eating and
how you are eating so how are we eating
let’s talk about chopsticks chopsticks
are those thin wooden stick what we
normally find in the Asian restaurants
do you know that they are one of the
best gadget to reduce your weight yes
they are let’s see how when we eat with
chopsticks we cannot eat a spoonful of
the food or mouthful of the food we have
to take small bites and when you take
small bites you feel fuller sooner and
your body turns to the slimmer version
of yours in Indonesia or South of Asia
or in Sri Lanka people use a lot of
banana leaves and the reason is very
simple
banana leaves are one of the best
antioxidant they also make sure that
your blood sugar level will not rise
very quickly so they not only cook into
that they also steam in that and they
also eat on that in India you have seen
people sitting cross-legged or eating
food with the hands there is a reason
behind that when you sit on the floor
it’s a good exercise for your knees and
your joints and the posture when you sit
is straight it also helps in the proper
digestion of the food eating with the
face eating with the hands the nature is
made up of five elements earth water
space fire and air and your four fingers
and the thumb represents all those five
elements when you touch food with your
hand you already you know the
temperature of the food and when you
touch something is spicy your finger
starts to burn so you also know if the
food is too spicy or not even before you
take the food in your mouth
you enjoy the aroma of the food so your
whole body is connected aware of what is
coming so in when the body is connected
in such a way you will not overeat
unless until you are eating with
somebody else and these are the side
characters of our movie but what about
the main character the lead actor of our
movie ingredients or the spices of the
food I mean food cannot taste good if
there is no spice in that whether it is
as common as a table salt or as exotic
as black truffles or the priciest spice
in the world
saffron isn’t it and these spices can
heal your body and can lead you to
healthy life only if you know what does
your body need and how to get into your
body let us take few examples turmeric
is a very common spice used in Thai
cuisine Indian
and Malaysian and Indonesian and these
this is not used only for the color of
the food it is used for its medical
properties if you have any kind of
energy if you have any inflammation in
your body or while working in the
kitchen or somewhere you just cut your
finger or you have a small bone turmeric
is a miracle for that what you just need
to do consume turmeric and the simplest
way of consuming turmeric is known as
golden milk you buy one glass of one
glass of milk add one or two tbsp of
turmeric powder in that let it boy for
few mayor for a couple of seconds and
add a pinch of black pepper in that the
black pepper is not for the taste it is
just that the Elia the curcumin in the
turmeric will be absorbed in your body
by more than two thousand percent just
by adding a pinch of black pepper in
that or ginger which is used all over
the world is loaded with this medical
benefits it is very good for allergies
for skin issues and even if you have
cuff problem just take the ginger rolled
it in the salt and eat two three times a
day for two days your all the slime will
go away either bottle gourd or bitter
gourd are one of the best medicine for
your heart issues
beetroot is one of the richest source of
iron clove oil is the best remedy for
your toothache
when I don’t know if you know it but the
tooth ache is known as the second worst
pain for human beings after labor pain
I’m a man I cannot feel labor pain so
toothache is worst for me and the clove
oil does wonders with that these are
some of our main actors what about the
child actors or the micro nutritions
or the vitamins of our food chia seeds
hemp seeds seaweed walnuts
they are amazing source of omega-3 and
omega-6 products like soya beans kidney
beans wheat protein chickpeas lentils
they are full with proteins and you also
don’t need to worry about the different
viruses and bacterias in the food
wheatgrass juice also known as the green
blood has the same pH level as blood
spinach and other green leafy vegetables
are very big source of vitamin b12 folic
acid potassium magnesium zinc and
whatnot and even the direction of of the
food is your body because as I said
whatever you eat that’s what your body
will become your white blood cells live
only up to 12 months your red blood
cells live only for months the colon
cells will die after four days and the
sperms live only up to three days and we
do not go to the supermarket to buy
those cells ok give me some colon cells
sir give me some sperms we don’t go do
that these have been made by whatever
you eat so healthy food healthy cells
healthy you but how was I introduced to
the amazing world of the food and the
flavors I am a finance guy and I never
entered kitchen to cook until I was 24
in India either your mom cooks or when
you go outside you have amazing food
vendors who give delicious food to you
of course you have to pay for it but you
are not dearth of the option but when I
came to Nederlands in 2008 to do my
executive masters in financial
management
I had no mom no street vendors so no
food for me as a desperate move I called
my mom I need food
she said okay buy all these things mix
this put that and let it cook I mean
what do you mean by let it cook I need
to know how long I need to cook the
curry and she told me you will know by
yourself no it didn’t happen and
actually she off the curries I cooked
for hours and believe me
results are horrible and as they say in
the few things do not try this at home
but one fine day just one idea strike me
I don’t know how does this food will be
done when will it be done but one thing
which I do know that how does my mom’s
food smell like when she cooks it in her
kitchen and I tried it next time when I
was cooking the curry I keep checking
the aroma does it taste like my mom’s
food no it keeps on cooking so tense the
food doesn’t taste like my mom’s would I
keep on cooking and results were good
amazing that was like a Eureka moment
for me Wow I found a magical trick to
cook the food perfectly but later on I
realize actually there is a science
behind that and the science is very
simple the one of the most common spice
in the world has never been used for
what it is called for salt has never
been used for salt or saltiness salt has
always been used in the food to extract
the flavors of the ingredients to bring
all the aromas and the spices together
and marry them to make the perfect curry
for you that’s what the job of the salt
even while cooking pasta so it has never
been used to add the saltiness in pasta
it has always been used to extract the
flavors from the ingredients of the
pasta and to maintain the temperature of
the water so the Eureka moment for me
was not a Eureka in him
it was just a science and this trick
taught me the different flavors and the
aromas and the experience of the food
and since then I never tasted food while
cooking and this food which started as a
compulsion on me took me over as my
passion and after finishing my Master’s
I joined insurance industry to save the
world from the next financial crisis but
then I thought instead of saving the
world why don’t I make them happy and
healthier and they can survive on their
own and I quit I quit my illustrious
well-paid well settled job and started
cooking nowadays we are doing corporate
catering in-house catering events
seminars workshop etc what not but the
basic of the but our basics of the food
with which we started never changed our
food should be happy healthier and
beautiful and as I said before it’s a
cinema and the cinema should not end
after first bite it should continue till
the end and even after that and let each
and every actor whether it is side
character lead actor child actor
director let them do that work to your
different body parts and you just sit
relax enjoy and pay attention for your
health for your prosperity and for the
better world
let the cinema begins
