Rendezvous with Rujuta Diwekar Celebrating the Launch of Her Latest Book at Taj Mahal, New Delhi

New Delhi, May 30, 2025: The Chambers, India's premier exclusive business club, presented an exclusive Rendezvous with Rujuta Diwekar in association with Axis Bank's Burgundy Private at Taj Mahal, New Delhi on Tuesday, 27^th of May 2025.

This latest edition in the Rendezvous series celebrated the launch and unveiling of celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar's latest book - The Commonsense Diet. The evening featured a thought-provoking conversation led by Chiki Sarkar- Founder of Juggernaut Books, Paayal & Tena Jain with Rujuta Diwekar and guest of honour Smt. Smriti Irani delving into the inspiration behind the book and the journey to meaningful, sustainable eating.

Speaking on the launch of her book Rujuta Diwekar said, “It has been a wonderful journey since I began writing fifteen years ago. The Commonsense Diet is my tenth book and I am delighted to be celebrating the launch in Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru at The Chambers Rendezvous series. Over the last decade or so, the diet confusion has only grown, and post-Covid, with the rise of social media - it has become worse. I wanted to use this book to break through the myths that prevail around food and bring us back to the basics – food, habits, and traditions that are time-honoured and passed through generations, while also adapting to the current times.

On the occasion Dr. Anmol Ahluwalia, Area Director - Operations & General Manager, Taj Mahal, New Delhi said, “It is our privilege to present a Rendezvous with Rujuta Diwekar, one of India's most respected nutritionists. Her philosophy of mindful, sustainable eating beautifully aligns with our own commitment to wellness and sustainability through initiatives like Innergise Green Meetings and curated wellness menus. We look forward to crafting more such bespoke experiences that inspire, engage, and delight our esteemed patrons.”

Commenting on the collaboration, Arnika Dixit, President & Head – Wealth, Cards & Payments, Axis Bank, said, “At Burgundy Private, we believe in the power of insightful dialogue and engagement to bring about meaningful impact. Rendezvous with Rujuta Diwekar is a great expression of that belief – facilitating conversations that promote holistic well-being and lasting positive change, rooted in tradition yet deeply relevant to modern life. We are delighted to support this thoughtfully curated initiative that not only inspires reflection and balanced living but also resonates deeply with the evolving aspirations of our clients.

Rujuta Diwekar's latest book advocates for a balanced approach to eating, emphasizing a clear simple message to eat local, seasonal, and traditional foods, and rejecting the idea of restrictive diets. Fifteen years ago, Rujuta Diwekar hit the headlines for her best-selling diet book Don’t Lose Your Mind, Lose Your Weight, now she is back with a new Diet manual to embrace the joy of home-cooked meals.

The menu for the evening, thoughtfully curated by Executive Chef Kaushik Misra, echoed the theme of mindful and balanced eating. Guests enjoyed an array of wellness-forward F&B offerings including vibrant health drinks like Beetroot Basil Vitality Juice and Berry Power Smoothie, alongside a carefully crafted selection of Mediterranean mezze, artisanal canapés, and nourishing hors d'oeuvres. Highlights included unique pairings like tofu mousse with Valencia orange caviar and warm Daulat ki Chaat with fig brûlée.
