‘Home is where the heart health is’, says new book by Rujuta Diwekar

Bengaluru: The Chambers, India’s premier exclusive business club, recently hosted an exclusive edition of its acclaimed Rendezvous series with celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar at Taj West End, Bengaluru.

This latest edition in the Rendezvous series celebrated the launch and unveiling of celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar’s latest book The Commonsense Diet.

The evening featured a thought-provoking conversation led by Chiki Sarkar, Founder of Juggernaut Books, with Rujuta Diwekar, delving into the inspiration behind the book and the journey to mindful, sustainable eating.

Speaking on the launch of her book, Rujuta said, “The Commonsense Diet is my tenth book, nearly 15 years since I wrote my first. In that time, diet confusion has only grown, and post-Covid, with the growth of social media, it’s got even worse. I wanted to use this book to break through all the myths floating about around food and bring us back to the basics.”

Her new book encourages readers to reject restrictive diets and embrace home-cooked, traditional Indian meals — reinstating the joy of balanced eating in a world flooded with food fads.

Satyajeet Krishnan, Senior Vice-President – Operations (South), Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), added, “Taj West End Bengaluru is proud to host iconic voices and thought leaders through The Chambers’ Rendezvous series. Rujuta’s insights into health and mindful living resonate deeply with our ethos of celebrating heritage and holistic wellbeing. It was a privilege to bring this conversation to our members and patrons in Bengaluru.”

Rujuta’s latest book advocates for a balanced approach to eating, emphasizing a clear, simple message to eat local, seasonal, and traditional foods, and rejecting the idea of restrictive diets.

Fifteen years ago, she hit the headlines for her best-selling diet book Don’t Lose Your Mind, Lose Your Weight, and now she is back with a new diet manual to embrace the joy of on home-cooked meals.

The Rendezvous with Rujuta Diwekar is part of a multi-city series, with prior editions held at Taj Lands End, Mumbai, and Taj Mahal, New Delhi.
