A few to inspire the many... - An Alumnus tribute to teachers

"We have taken the initiative to document the recipes that were standardized and taught to us by our teachers and wish to share it with all, in the form of this coffee table recipe book. A humble tribute to our beloved teachers".

Batch of 1989-1992, J.D. Birla Institute

 

An inclination towards home cooked nutritious meals has seen an unprecedented growth during the lockdown phase, in the surge of social media and YouTube videos flooding the internet. Perhaps, this has been the best time to launch a book comprising of a treasure trove of tested and standardized-to- perfection recipes. The alumni association of JDBI is an active body comprising of over 3000 members, who launched a coffee table book recently. The book titled 'JDBI Flavours' was inaugurated by Mrs. Sumangala Birla and finally published on the contribution of 41 patrons from batches 1978 to 2014 who generously donated towards the cause. It has been a consummate affair to be able to curate the best recipes of two veteran teachers of the institution, Mrs. Lilu Mancha and Mrs. Mehbooba Mohanty. The recipes are all tried and standardized in the college laboratory. They are not only nutritious and healthy cuisine, but also delectable and tasty. They are healthy alternatives to our everyday meals, with easily available ingredients sourced from local markets. The book promises a new lifestyle modification and has been finally conceptualized due to the sustained initiatives and enthusiasm of the alumni as a tribute to their teachers.
