Compiled By - Nita S. Mehta, Rajul A. Gandhi, Dr. Satyavati S. Jhaveri, Rachna Group of Women To view some of the recipes Click Here This is a humble effort to resurrect the simple culinary art of our glorious past and pay a great tribute to the grand old ladies, both past and present, who have contributed to our heritage. The different aspects and skills of Palanpuri cooking have derived their characteristics from a family's need for nourishing food, its economic resources and availability of raw ingredients found within the region. Over generations, our Jain recipes have also developed through innovations and interpretations. Ingredients, method and utensils all have gone through many transformations. The interest in world cuisines has changed the tastes of this generation. Yet, at times one craves for those distinctive flavours, the basic tastes, the sweet aroma, the rich colours and the stimulating textures that go with the modest daily food of yesteryear. The growing interest in nutrition and dietetics helps each generation to add variety and satisfy ones changing taste buds with combinations from the simple and original recipes of the past.
