Rashmi Uday Singh talks to Nupur Mahajan
on her latest offering to the city
Good gets better and better vies to be the best. After
the runaway success of her much acclaimed Good Food Guide,
Rashmi Uday Singh, the entrepreneurial foodie, has launched
the Good Food Academy. "The academy is a step in
the same direction. My passion is food - getting information
and sharing it. The academy brings together an array of
talent; master chefs and culinary experts who will chare
their expertise with all those who enroll in the academy."
But the academy is not your regular post-graduate staid
building, which thrives on churning out students. "No
certificate courses from this one," she laughs, on
her way to the first salad session that the academy is
offering. "A series of one-off sessions is what I
have in mind. Each session will last three hours and for
now, it is a sort of a trial run. Over the next two summer
months, I have fifty sessions planned to get a feel of
the market." There's lots in store for all you budding
culinary buffs: world cuisines, restaurant sessions, market
tours, cocktails, mocktails and even a course for cooks
and maids. "I don't know how it will turn out, but
the idea is have the household help who are trained at
least in everyday things like table settings," she
mentions. Hmm…food for thought. Mumbai?" Rashmi
is a foodie who reserves he comments, rather her reviews
are a culmination of other people's opinion. Playing safe!
"I respect every palate," she explains. "We
all have our individual preferences. Which is why I have
a cross section of people talking about a certain restaurant,
which then becomes a distillation of people's views."
