There are so many different types of activities that can affect our health and that may start with our moods. Mood swings are common and very often most of us opt to eat ice cream, however, health experts shed like on the implications, and even suggest alternatives that are not only healthier but also delicious. Eating the right kind of food is essential, and with plums in season, it is also the best time to explore different kinds of dishes with them not only for their health benefits but to simply enjoy eating the fruit in more ways than one. Chefs around India share unique recipes that use the fruit to not only make sorbets but also galettes and more. 


When it comes to food, Mid-day.com also spoke to Australian celebrity chef Sarah Todd earlier this year, when she launched her range of sauces in India, and she not only delved into her love for Indian food, but also how she always uses some kind of masala while cooking.
