Deepa Thomas

A graduate of Delhi University with degrees in journalism and political science, Deepa Thomas is the founding CEO of the internationally renowned Deepa Textiles. After twenty-one years and twenty-three awards, Deepa dissolved her ten-million-dollar enterprise to care for her aging parents. Four years later, a serendipitous conversation with University of California’s Dr. Bobby Baron ended her self-imposed hiatus. Since 2010, Deepa has combined her passion for journalism with her newfound passion for cooking, deconstructing the principles of the most successful diets and healthy living practices in order to reconstruct a simple, slow carbohydrate Indian cuisine. She has amassed hundreds of recipes, lost twenty pounds, and freed her husband Thampy from his ten-year dependence on insulin shots.

Deepa and Thampy Thomas live in the Nob Hill section of San Francisco, not far from their two sons. For more about Deepa, visit www.deepassecrets.com
