12/2-Gurpareet Bains, Gail Simmons

Gurpareet Bains-Chef and Nutritional Therapist

Chef and nutritional therapist Gurpareet Bains made waves last year when he created “the world’s healthiest meal,” a delicious chicken curry with blueberries and goji berry pilau—the nutritional equivalent of 49 bowls of spinach. 
Bains continues to mesh great taste and disease-fighting ingredients in his innovative dishes, including those in his delicious new book, *Indian Superfood: Superfood + Superspices = Indian Superfood* (Absolute Press). He will share his insights into how to incorporate antioxidant-rich Indian cuisine into one’s diet to help combat and prevent illness—with mouthwatering recipes like Salmon and Potato Biryani with Cherry Tomatoes and Ginger-Infused Yogurt with Honey and Pomegranate.
