India's celebrated award-winning food writer, Rashmi Uday Singh, too

k on a challenging mission when she decided to write a food guide for vegetarians travelling in Europe.  With over 15 years of  experience in tasting and tracking food trends, winning multiple awards, hosting TV shows, writing food columns and penning over 32 food books including India's first ever city restaurant guide, Rashmi admits to Masala! that writing a food guide for vegetarians in Europe was the most delightful milestone of her career.

You have churned out over 30 books on food. Which is closest to your heart and why?Completing every book was a challenge in itself. However, I have to admit, the most challenging work was putting together restaurant guides featuring Mumbai and Parisian cuisine for the first time ever. The guide to Paris took a lot of effort as I had to only focus on vegetarian food. But when it was published, it was declared as the world's first complete vegetarian guide to Paris. Another book that comes to my mind is the award winning ‘Around The World In Eighty Plates.' Again I wrote it in memory of a 17-year-old friend of mine so it's very dear to my heart.
