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!”

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.“
