The book ‘Lassis of India- Smoothies With a Twist’ by Mrs. Radha Bhatia wins ‘Best in the world 2020’award in the category ‘Drinks with no alcohol’, Food & Drink Culture at the coveted Gourmand World Award. The book previously was the winner from India in the Gourmand World Awards in the category ‘Non Alcoholic Drinks’.

The author is an entrepreneur in the travel and trade domain for the last 45 years & decided to write a book on Lassis of India to reach out to the younger generation that is influenced by the western culture and always talked about smoothies. To encourage the children to read the book it has been titled- ‘Lassis of India- Smoothies With a Twist’. Mrs. Bhatia is passionate about Indian culture and cooking, and hence decided to write this book starting with ‘Panchamrit’ and it’s historical background.

The book is a compilation of 74 recipes curated by Mrs. Bhatia, which includes traditional recipes from different states of India to modern-day smoothies. The book is just not a compilation of recipes but is a grandmothers labour of love. Mrs. Bhatia has included five generations of stories, wisdom, and kitchen secrets in her book. The book is an amalgamation of recipes and stories and has undergone extensive research that explores Indian cultural roots, local customs, climate , and cuisines, featuring a compilation of 17 traditional recipes from various states blending with the local food and climate. The traditional recipes comprise of the ever-popular Punjabi ‘Meethi Lassi’ to the ‘Talicha More’ of Tamil Nadu- each with their unique taste and health benefits

The other 57 recipes are lassis with a twist – prepared with herbs, fruits and nuts, which appeal to a younger generation, keeping the taste buds of children in mind. Since these lassis, or smoothies, are freshly prepared and don’t have any harmful preservatives, they are tasty as well as healthy. All the recipes in the book are simple to follow and intended for those who love to cook at home.

By  spreading  the  word  about  these healthy beverages,  Mrs. Bhatia hopes  to  pass  on  this priceless legacy to the new generation and help them live a healthier life.

The book has become particularly meaningful in the current Covid pandemic since the traditional recipes contain herbs and spices that are natural immunity boosters. Parents can encourage children to try out these simple, health enriching recipes with ingredients that are readily available in every Indian kitchen. This will not only keep them engaged, but also help them develop a taste for healthy beverages.

The book has been published by Om Books International.

About the author

A successful entrepreneur running several multifaceted businesses is just one of the many roles that Mrs. Radha Bhatia has been juggling for decades. A wife, mother, grandmother, champion of women empowerment, she’s also an accomplished cook who was taught to cook by her grandmother. Being from a generation that has seen bigger changes than any other, she has managed to embrace the new without feeling the need to let go all that is good of the old. So, she’s equally at ease looking up recipes on her iPad as she is preparing them in the ‘handi’ her grandmother presented her when she first began cooking 65 years ago.  This book is a result of her passion for cooking, concern for health of her loved ones, and the urge to pass on some of the good things she grew up enjoying.

Hafele Lighting – Delft Series Architectural Lights by Hafele

Hafele Lighting – Delft Series Architectural Lights by Hafele

Hafele’s Loox Range has been meeting the demands for lighting in furniture as well as the growing needs for networking and digitalization since the last 10 years. The solutions offered within this range maximize simplicity and flexibility as well as assure high reliability. The range presents itself as a unique combination of elegant design and state of the art technology making it the perfect choice for any home furniture application, be it Task Lighting for Kitchen cabinets and plinths, Decorative Lighting for Living Room Showcases, Mood Lighting for Bedroom Applications or pure Functional Lighting in Wardrobes.

With the ever-increasing demands for quality and specialized lighting solutions not just for furniture but also for rooms, Hafele in 2019 expanded its range offering to include ceiling cove lighting which incorporates our high-quality strip lights. It was during this period that we realized that among the numerous ceiling light types available in the market, interior architectural lighting had a huge demand, however there weren’t many prominent brands that offered these solutions. On one side, there existed local market players that offered these solutions without effective quality assurances, while on the other there were international brands that only catered to projects with no stable price offering or service support. This left majority of the customers without a viable choice in the market.

Identifying this distinct gap early on as an opportunity, Hafele initiated the research and engineering for a range of lights that enhances the design of architectural spaces as well as provides opportunities of achieving different illumination techniques and functionalities. As a brand, Hafele understands design and is known for its bend towards innovation. It also understands the importance of home ergonomics, lifestyle conveniences and ease of mobility within your surroundings. Our efforts towards this exercise led to the development of a versatile range of architectural lights; Hafele Architectural Lights was brought into existence.

With Hafele’s New Architectural Lighting Range, you will find all your lighting needs taken care of. Whether it is lighting up a small area, highlighting a wall texture, emphasizing on a work of art, illuminating the floor space at night or simply ensuring even distribution of light across the entire space – these lights have got you covered. The range, consisting of 8 series, covers various applications, installation techniques and design themes. Each series comes with a comprehensive offering of the different types of interior lights, be it downlights, spotlight or wall washers, which allows you to implement a consistent design theme (in terms of the lighting fixtures) across the space available, even with differentiated illumination techniques. The biggest advantage this range carries is the absolutely low Unified Glare Rating (UGR). The lower the UGR rating, the lower the glare from the light fittings which therefore results in comfortable illumination in your living spaces.

The convenient plug and play assembly, impressive product specifications, flexibility in ordering components, luminaire finishes, and availability of glare reduction accessories provide an overall customized option tailored to your specific requirements. Engineered on the same philosophy of ‘easiness’ and ‘flexibility’ as the Loox furniture lighting system, Hafele can now be your holistic lighting solutions provider, delivering premium ambient, task and accent lighting for your living spaces.

The Delft Series

Recent preferences among architects in the industry have evolved more in favour of having compact, minimal light fixtures that do not interfere with the overall design theme. Additionally, there is a strong inclination towards installing fewer luminaires that cover a significant portion of the ceiling space and illuminate a given area effectively. The Delft series of architectural lights was developed to cater to higher illumination in the downlight and spotlight series with its small and exquisite design.

Available in two colours, black and white, the Delft series is best suitable for dining rooms, hotel rooms, bedrooms, living rooms, and display areas with its deep baffle design which equally distributes the light toward the center. With the help of a simple plug-and-play concept, the luminaires from the Delft Series have an entirely tool-free installation.
