Mumbai, July 18, 2023 - 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," featuring renowned celebrity chef Shipra Khanna, winner of MasterChef India Season 2. 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.

In collaboration with the United Nations in India, 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. The show offers viewers a captivating fusion of flavors, traditions, and the path to a wholesome lifestyle. A lifestyle that is sustainable and peaceful towards our planet.

The collaboration between Warner Bros. Discovery and the United Nations in India signifies a commitment to promoting sustainable and healthy food choices. Speaking about the collaboration, Shombi Sharp the UN Resident Coordinator in India, said, The United Nations in India is pleased to partner with Warner Brothers Discovery to talk about healthy food and holistic living in balance with nature and the planet. 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."

Shruti Seth, the show's host, expresses her excitement, saying, "It is an honour to be a part of 'Roots of My Platter' once again and collaborate with Warner Bros. Discovery. This season is extraordinary as we partner with the United Nations in India to spotlight the power of millets. The show aims to enlighten viewers about the significance of mindful eating and the right time to consume food. I am thrilled to embark on this journey with the talented Shipra Khanna and take our audience on an unforgettable culinary adventure."
