Charity begins at home, or should we say the kitchen. The Energy and Resources Institute of India (TERI) has come up with a first of its kind cookbook offering an environment-friendly diet. Called ‘The Original Organic Cookbook: Recipes for the Healthy Living’ has been authored by chef Kuntal Kumar, who calls the shots at the kitchen of the Hilton hotel at Shillim near Mumbai. Â

Now that is a very cool way to approach the lifestyle problems that we are suffering from. News is that only 14,000 tonnes of the two million food grown annually in India is actually organic. So, the book focuses on a creating an intelligent kitchen. And the food recipes are not boring. In fact, one can find a comprehensive spread from international cuisine to the traditional Indian platter. Also, Kumar makes an attempt to dispel doubts that organic food is only vegetarian. And as per a rough estimate, if all famers in the world took to organic farming the carbon emission would be reduced by a considerable 21 per cent.
