Organic food nourishes the body and purifies the spirit, not just of the individual but also of our planet. Here is the what, why and how of organics – to make your transition to organic, swifter and smoother

A 'Pure' Experience

Do you want to pamper yourself beyond imagination? Visit Pure, the organic restaurant of Taj Lands End, Mumbai. As you enter, you find yourself relaxing in the natural ambience of the restaurant created by wooden furnishings, soft candlelight and gurgling fountains. Joshua Kemper, the chef, is an organic enthusiast, and aims at serving both exotic and simple preparations using fresh organic fruits, organic grains and the most temptingly delicious organic goat cheese, exported all the way from Italy. Says Kristen McGuire, a visitor from Germany, "I am a cancer patient and have come to India for alternative treatment. One of the first guidance I was given to heal was to go organic. Pure, in that sense has been a life-saver for me!" Try Pure's Asian pear salad, lemon basil sorbet and Cajun chicken breast. If that is not enough, melt yourself in their divine dessert called eight pure textures of chocolate! If you do not feel like splurging, the modest organic café at Fabindia should also be able to provide you with an organic experience worth remembering.
