I am a Consultant Nutritionist with experience in Pediatric Cancer and Diabetes where there are a lot of restrictions in diet. It becomes challenging to provide both dense calories and healthy yet tasty meal plans for a better lifestyle and well-being. Ever since I started learning nutrition, I realised that food has a lot to do with health but the taste is what a person goes for. What piqued my interest in developing recipes is that can be customised according to a particular need or requirement, are easy-to-follow and also help in recovery.
