IG International is India's largest importer of fresh fruits. It has recently announced the launch of the cookbook Appelicious by famous chocolatier Zeba Kohli, in association with Stemilt Growers, a leading North American pip fruit supplier. The launch took place on Tuesday, March 26, 2019 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Mumbai. The focus of the cookbook is on 'Apples with chocolates'.
Zeba Kohli is renowned for her world-class designer chocolates as she frequently conducts chocolate workshops for both adults and children. Additionally, North American company Stemilt Growers is a leading supplier of pip fruits, and ships organic apples across the world. The launch event for the cookbook had a host of activities and discussions, including a live cooking session using the recipes from the cookbook. This event carried a message, 'chocolates can be healthy too'. The chocolates will be made with natural sugar taken from the fruits.
At the launch, Zeba quickly put on her chef coat and tossed a few ingredients into a glass and gave us a live demonstration of her magical skill. Combining Apples, Chocolate, Coconut Water, Basil Seeds, Coconut Pulp and Rose Petals, she made a very innovative summer drink which was nothing less than refreshing.
On the name, Zeba said: “Working on 'Appelicious' with Stemilt Growers has been a truly exciting experience. The team and I have been on the same page through the way, and our passion to bring fresh new things to the table really sparked, to make the book what it is today. Apples and chocolate are a match made in heaven, and having one of the leading suppliers in the market on board gave me so much insight into the business of apples. We want people to know that even indulgences can be healthy, and we are sure our readers and consumers will love what is in store for them.”
