• Shruti Sethi’s Vegan Cooking Journey

What do Virat Kohli, Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic have in common apart from their prowess in respective sports? They all follow a vegan diet (Kohli follows about 90 per cent vegan diet but no meat) and swear by it. In fact, Kohli claims he has “never felt better in my life.”

You have admired them so far, and now, you can follow their dietary practices too. Shruti Sethi, who turned vegan in 2016 will show you how to make plant-based milk, curd and a desert easily. She will guide you through the nutritional value of plant-based food, how it helped her battle cancer and how a vegan diet can improve your immune system.

• Laura Khanna Shows the Beauty of Fermentation

If the summer heat is getting to you, cool down with these fermented foods and beverages. Laura Khanna, who is based in Panchgani, runs a permaculture farm and has worked in the food industry for about 12 years now.

She knows her way around fermentation, baking and natural living, and this weekend, she will show you how you can ferment vegetables and make delicious sauerkraut and kimchi from them. In addition, she will guide you in the preparation of natural sodas, yoghurt, and ginger beer to beat the heat.
