I am excited about the upcoming TV series on MPTV. I believe it is a timely series that will help people discover easy-to-prepare, delicious healthful dishes.
Looking back, the year 2011 was a remarkable year for me in my culinary journey!
My first TV series “Healthful Indian Flavors with Alamelu” originally aired on MPTV in 2010 was picked up by other Public Television stations around the country. The response I received from viewers across the country was most encouraging and inspiring!
Contributing some recipes to Healing Spices by Dr. Bharat Aggarwal’s, book published in Jan. 2011, was an honorable experience for me. Dr. Aggarwal is a cancer research scientist at MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas.
My new book Chettinad Kitchen was published in India, Jan. 2011 (Tata-Westland; New Delhi)
I was invited to record a second (this time 13 part) series of my TV program, “Healthful Indian Flavors with Alamelu” by MPTV. A new feature of the second season of my TV series was the contribution of a Registered Dietitian, Margaret Pfeiffer through her comments on the nutritional aspects of the foods I prepared in my shows. The recoding experience in the Summer and Fall of 2011 was hard work but rewarding and exciting!
As in previous years, I continued to present well-received cooking events at the Annual Kohler Food and Wine Experience and the Dine and Wine Wisconsin event in Milwaukee.
Now, looking ahead to 2012, I feel energized to promote my passion in healthful cooking to the public. Have a great, productive, healthy New Year!
