Mary Glen and Jean Ogilvie studied at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune in January, 2018. Inspired by the abundant fruit and vegetables, and by Mangala, the owner of the vegetable cart on the cookbook cover, they put together a cookbook, filled with Indian recipes from the women they met in Pune, fellow students at Pathway Yoga Studio and the generous women at Jagruti Seva Sanstha.  You can order the cookbook via e-transfer. The cost is $20.00 plus $5 postage (in Canada) if you order one copy, for a total of $25.  (US orders: $10 postage.) And don’t forget to include your address!  

Anjali Bhosale received a micro-financing loan from Jagruti Seva Sanstha to start a food preparation business.
