Warner Bros Discovery and the United Nations in India have joined forces once again to bring viewers an exciting second season of the popular culinary show, 'Roots of My Platter.' Following the success of its first season, this new instalment focuses on the concept of optimal nutrition and the importance of meal timing in our daily lives.
The show's main highlight is the incorporation of millet, which has been designated as the superfood of 2023, into our regular meals. With the charming Shruti Seth as the host, the four-part series dives into enlightening conversations about holistic nutrition, emphasizing the significance of establishing a consistent daily cycle of eating.
In Season 2, the show expands on the notion of the 'right time to eat,' helping viewers understand how this philosophy enhances the nutritional value of their meals. Celebrity chef Shipra Khanna takes centre stage and 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, expressed, “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!”
Chef Shipra Khanna shares her excitement, saying, “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.”
With its focus on promoting healthy living, eco-friendly dining experiences, and the celebration of millet as a nutritious superfood, 'Roots of My Platter' Season 2 promises to be an inspiring and delightful culinary journey for viewers.

Sweet Truth, a desserts brand from Rebel Foods, is celebrating Mother’s Day with its heartfelt campaign ‘Sweet Mom of Mine’. The initiative focuses on the small, everyday acts of love that often go unnoticed but play a big role in shaping our lives.
Built around the idea that the most meaningful memories come from simple and consistent gestures, the campaign highlights moments like packing tiffins, staying up late, or remembering little preferences. These everyday actions form the emotional core of the campaign, bringing attention to the quiet ways in which mothers care for their families.
At the centre of the campaign is the ‘Receipt of Love’ Mother’s Day card, a creative take on a retail bill. The card lists familiar gestures, each marked at ₹0, symbolising that a mother’s love has no price. It ends with the word ‘Priceless’, capturing the message in a simple yet powerful way. This card will be included with every order from Sweet Truth across its 380+ locations PAN India, turning each delivery into a thoughtful experience during the campaign period.
Commenting on the campaign, Nishant Kedia, CMO at Rebel Foods said, “At Sweet Truth, we believe that the most meaningful expressions of love often lie in the smallest, everyday moments. With ‘Sweet Mom of Mine’, we wanted to celebrate these quiet gestures that shape our lives in profound ways, even if we don’t always recognise them at the time. The ‘Receipt of Love’ is a simple yet powerful reminder that a mother’s care is truly priceless, and we hope it inspires people to pause, reflect, and express their gratitude this Mother’s Day.”
Along with the campaign, the brand is also encouraging customers to celebrate with its range of desserts. From specially curated Mother’s Day cakes to dessert boxes, the idea is to create a complete “sweet + sentiment” gifting experience, suitable for both at-home celebrations and surprise moments.
The campaign will also extend to digital platforms, where short films and social media content will highlight relatable “mom moments”, those small yet meaningful experiences that stay with us over time. Adding to this, influencers and content creators will share their personal stories, recreating memories and presenting the ‘Receipt of Love’ card along with desserts, inviting audiences to reflect on their own journeys with their mothers.
With this initiative, Sweet Truth brings together emotion and indulgence, making Mother’s Day celebrations more personal and memorable across the country.
Harajuku Bakehouse brings the joy of mango season to life with a thoughtfully curated menu that celebrates Alphonso in its most delightful form. This limited-time offering features seven desserts, each blending the finesse of Japanese pastry techniques with the richness of India’s most loved summer fruit. Made using fresh Alphonso mangoes, every creation reflects the signature detail and warmth the Bakehouse is known for.
The menu features a range of desserts that feel both comforting and exciting. The Hokkaido Mango Milk Cake stands out with its soft vanilla sponge soaked in mango-flavoured milk and topped with fresh Alphonso. The Mango Rose Tart pairs an almond sablé base with mango vanilla pastry cream, finished neatly with pistachios. Each dessert is crafted to bring out the natural sweetness and freshness of mango in a simple yet memorable way.
Other highlights include the Mango Mochi, where soft Japanese dough wraps around fresh mango and vanilla cream, and the Mango Roll Cake, made with light chiffon layers and smooth mango cream. The Puru Puru Pudding adds a playful touch with its delicate wobble, served alongside cookie crumbs and mango sauce. The Mango Fraisier and Mango Bento complete the menu with rich layers and satisfying textures that stay true to the season.
For those looking to try just one, the Mango Rose Tart comes highly recommended, bringing together pistachios, Alphonso mango, and a pastry cream that truly stands out.
This special menu captures mango at its best, fresh, vibrant, and full of summer character, making it a must-visit experience for dessert lovers.
A new space in Hyderabad is rethinking how people experience dining and nightlife. Dandy & Dandy enters the city with a concept that blends both worlds into one fluid experience. Built on the idea of “Two Dandies. One Door. Same Room. Two Moods,” the space moves away from the usual divide between a restaurant and a bar, offering a setting that evolves naturally through the day.
Instead of separating occasions, Dandy & Dandy is designed around how people actually spend their time today. It creates a space where afternoons can flow into evenings without interruption, allowing guests to stay, unwind and shift with the mood without needing to move elsewhere.
At its core is a clear sense of duality. One side focuses on a more refined and ingredient-led approach to food, keeping things simple, seasonal and balanced. The other side brings in a more social and energetic vibe, where cocktails, music and interaction take the lead. Both identities exist together, complementing each other rather than competing.
The shift from day to night happens gradually. During the day, the space feels open and relaxed, making it ideal for long lunches and easy conversations. As the evening sets in, the mood changes subtly. Lighting, music and energy build up, turning the space into a more lively and immersive setting where the bar becomes the centre of attention.
Design plays an important role in this transition. A central bar anchors the space, while lighting and colours shift through the day to create different moods without changing the structure. Shades of deep red, black and warm tones give it a clean look during the day and a more dramatic feel at night.
The food and beverage experience follows a similar flow. The menu is globally inspired but easy to enjoy, with shareable dishes that suit different moods and timings. The cocktail programme is designed around a gradual progression, starting with lighter options and moving towards stronger, more layered drinks as the evening unfolds. Music is also curated to match this rhythm, beginning softly and building into high-energy sets later in the night.
Speaking on the concept, Kaushik Rachapudi, Managing Director, Dandy & Dandy shares, “Dandy & Dandy is built around how people actually live today. There’s no clear divide between work and social life anymore. We wanted to create a space that respects that fluidity where you can begin with intent and naturally move into something more expressive, without ever needing to change your environment.”
He adds, “The idea is deceptively simple: the same space, different energy. But delivering that seamlessly requires discipline. If you’re doing both day and night, you have to do both with equal conviction; there’s no halfway.”
With nearly three decades of experience, Rehan Guha brings a strong understanding of hospitality and evolving consumer preferences, helping shape a space that feels natural and easy to connect with.
Positioned as an accessible premium destination, Dandy & Dandy caters to a new generation that prefers thoughtful experiences over loud settings. It offers a balanced space that feels just as comfortable in the afternoon as it does late at night.
In a city where dining and nightlife have mostly remained separate, this new concept creates a middle ground that feels seamless and relevant. Here, the experience doesn’t ask you to choose between day and night , it invites you to stay for both.
Location: 5th Floor, THE LOFT, Nexity, HITEC City, Hyderabad, Telangana 500032.
