THE ELEMENT OF NUTRITION
Consumers now have more access than ever to eat what they want, when and where they want it. Chef Nicholas Fernandes, executive pastry chef, e Ritz-Carlton, Pune says proper nutrition is complex, and recommendations depend on the individual requirement. e six major elements form the basis of all nutritional requirements, carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins, minerals and water. “Today we cater to all such requirements through gluten-free desserts, vegan, sugar-free and keto. While desserts aren’t traditionally associated with health bene ts, (barring recent research on dark chocolate when consumed in moderation), I expect to see avocado ice cream, keto or paleo cakes, and all the “free” dessert options – gluten, lactose, sugar, dairy line up dessert bars,” he says.
