Warner Bros Discovery and the United Nations in India are teaming to bring viewers an exciting second season of the culinary show ‘Roots of My Platter’. Building upon the success of its first season, this season focuses on the concept of optimal nutrition and the importance of timing in our meals.
The show highlights the importance of incorporating millets, designated as the superfood of 2023, into our daily meals. Hosted by the charismatic Shruti Seth, the four-part series delves into enlightening conversations about holistic nutrition, emphasizing the significance of establishing a consistent daily cycle of eating.
Season 2 expands on the concept of ‘right time to eat’, helping viewers understand how this philosophy enhances the nutritional value of meals. Chef Shipra uncovers the secrets of mindful eating by incorporating millet-based recipes and fusion-inspired approaches.
Speaking about the collaboration, Shombi Sharp, the UN Resident Coordinator in India, said, “Nearly a third of all food produced each year is wasted before it can be consumed, adding a large amount of unnecessary pollution and emissions driving the climate crisis. Through the show, ‘Roots of My Platter’, we aim to showcase simple, individual actions that can ensure both healthy living and a healthy planet, while enjoying the diverse culture of food. At the initiative of India, the United Nations is celebrating 2023 as the International Year of Millets and the show also highlights some eco-friendly and delicious millet recipes. Bon Appetit!”
Celebrity chef Shipra Khanna shares, “As the featured chef on ‘Roots of My Platter’ Season 2, I will be sharing a range of recipes in a format covering the four meals of a day. With a selection of millet-based dishes, I will bring a fusion-based approach to the platter, reconnecting our daily meals to the roots of our traditional cuisine.”
