The battle with the bulge is never easy,especially when ones tastebuds refuse to accept anything bland.

The battle with the bulge is never easy,especially when ones tastebuds refuse to accept anything bland. But who said healthy food has to be uninviting and insipid? Out to prove that gourmet meals can also be packed with nutrition is the team behind Nutrism,a live food show that will roll out on April 15 at Hotel Rio in Sector 43,11 am onwards.

In recent years,interest in food,diet and fitness as well as reality cooking shows has increased significantly. Following the same format as a television show,Chef Anubhav Sawhney and diet consultant and nutrition educator Aditi Mehrotra have joined hands for Nutrism,a live cookery show that

focuses on gourmet dishes that are healthy and innovative.

Who isnt on a diet today? Obesity is not the sole reason why people diet. Diabetics and hypertensive people require a sugar-free or sodium-free cuisine. There is a special diet regimen to comply with in cases such as lactose-intolerant children or wheat-allergic patients. I recommend variety and colour on the dinner plate. Rote eating is out of question for a successful diet plan, says Delhi-based Mehrotra,who has more than 15 years of experience in the field of nutrition.

The three-hour-long show has been conceptualised with Chef Sawhney,who runs a Personal Chef Service in Delhi and specialises in live cooking sessions,menu consultations and food styling.

At the food show,we will showcase classic and popular recipes made healthy and designed to provide synergistic effect of taste and nutrition. For sustainability of a good diet plan,food needs to be interesting and tasty with a lot of eye appeal, says Chef Anubhav.

The registration fee is Rs 1,500 per person.

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has been receiving much flak of late for forcing filmmakers to edit intimate scenes or sequences of blood bath and muting cuss words.

Partly in response to the accusations of the media and the film fraternity and partly to make up for what is lost,CBFC is hosting the Cut-Uncut festival as part of the centenary celebrations of Indian cinema. Organised by the Information and Broadcast Ministry,it is scheduled to take place in Delhi from April 25-30.
