Maria and Mothers dish out interesting healthy snacks as part of Maria’s special cook out session to celebrate Mother’s Day
12 May 2018, Mumbai: Mount Litera School International (MLSI)- one of Mumbai’s leading IB schools today hosted a unique event for mothers with celebrity chef, Maria Goretti to celebrate Mother’s Day. Maria introduced mothers to healthy alternatives for snacks that were tasty yet nutritious. Some of her interesting creations included Ragi pan cakes made of Ragi flour, eggs, curd and milk giving a healthy twist to the regular flour based pancakes. Another unique substitute she presented was whipped soy cream as opposed to regular and calorie laden whipped cream!
After the session, Ms. Goretti also judged a contest for mothers to cook nutritious recipes from select ingredients. The contest saw excited mothers make some delectable treats and show off their cooking prowess.
Sharing her thoughts on mother’s day initiative, celebrity chef, Maria Goretti said, “ I am really happy to be associated with Mount Litera School International for this event. I feel that as parents and mothers we are constantly battling huge advertising that tell kids how eating chips is so much fun or how a big dollop of sauce is going to make their food even more tastier; basically promoting packaged food over fresh food that we mums so painstaking make. Hence, I think this initiative on Mother’s Day where we pull in all our resources and try and help each other out for making food healthy for our kids is really great to be associated with.”
Commenting on the event, Mrs. Navyata Goenka, Advisor, Mount Litera School International said, “At MLSI, we aim to imbibe good habits at an early age, and I believe eating right is just as important for a healthy body and all-round development. Today’s session was specially curated for our mothers to introduce them to nutritious alternatives that are quick, healthy and a favorite amongst kids. We are thankful to Ms. Goretti for her time and the scrumptious recipes she presented. I hope our mothers enjoyed this activity and I wish them all a very happy Mother’s Day”
The afternoon concluded with mothers taking back some great cooking tips from Maria that would ensure a nutrition packed meal for kids every day!
