From cradle to kitchen Foodxp serves up postpartum comfort on a plate
MUMBAI: Move over fancy plating and fast food postpartum plates are having a moment. Foodxp, the food and lifestyle entertainment channel, is set to debut a refreshingly grounded culinary series titled Diapers to Delight, spotlighting the often-overlooked world of postpartum nourishment. Premiering 26 May at 9:00 PM IST, the show will air across India, Bangladesh, the US, and the UAE, bringing heartfelt recipes and ancient Ayurvedic wisdom to modern screens.
Hosted by chef Deepa Chauhan, the series features 15 plus carefully curated dishes designed to nurture new mothers from the protein-packed Gond ke laddoo to warming Raab and Moringa soup. The recipes are as practical as they are healing, tapping into traditional Indian kitchens to serve dishes that comfort both body and spirit.
“Diapers to Delight isn’t your typical food show. While most focus on street snacks or fancy plating, this one asks a question we often forget: what should a new mom eat after childbirth? With warmth, wisdom, and a dash of spice, it serves up answers rooted in care and tradition,” says Foodxp creative director Geetika Jain.
At a time when fast-paced living has edged out age-old practices, the show aims to reclaim the kitchen as a space of support, healing, and family wisdom not just for Indian audiences, but also for diaspora families seeking cultural reconnection through food.
To take its mission further, Foodxp is launching a free digital companion recipe book, featuring all the dishes from the show. It’s a small but meaningful step in helping new mothers and caregivers whip up recovery-friendly meals with ease.
“When I had my children, I wish I had access to something like this. Through this show, I hope to make that journey easier for other women,” shares chef Deepa Chauhan.
So whether you’re a first-time parent, a curious caregiver, or someone who just loves a good bowl of warm, healing food mark your calendars. Diapers to Delight is not just cooking; it’s caring served hot.

Rocky Singh takes Road Trippin to Uttar Pradesh for a flavour-packed season with an unexpected finale
The sixteenth season of the HistoryTV18 travel and food franchise rolls from Mathura to Lucknow before pulling a surprise detour to Chandigarh and Delhi
MUMBAI: Rocky Singh is back on the road, and this time Uttar Pradesh is the destination. Season 16 of Road Trippin With Rocky launches on 25th March on HistoryTV18 and across Rocky’s social media platforms, running through 31st March in what promises to be one of the more ambitious outings of a franchise that has quietly become one of Indian digital television’s most enduring food and travel properties.
The route this season threads through the heart of the state. The journey begins in Mathura, where Singh will visit local institutions Shankar Mithai Wala and Mittal Foods, before moving on to Agra. The city is better known for the Taj Mahal, but Singh is after its food trail, stopping at Gopal Das Petha Wala, GMB Gopika Sweets and Restaurant, and the irresistibly named Mama Chicken Mama Franky House. From Agra, the road leads to Kanpur, a bustling city with an underrated food scene, and then to Lucknow, the UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy and the City of Nawabs, where the cuisine needs little introduction but Singh intends to show exactly what makes it tick.
And then comes the twist. Having reached Lucknow, the season does not end there. Singh unexpectedly turns north to Chandigarh, independent India’s first planned city, where he will explore how a leading university is shaping the next generation of hospitality professionals alongside the city’s iconic eateries. The journey concludes in Delhi, at its world-class airport, which the show frames as a reflection of the scale and ambition of modern India.
What began as a digital-first experiment has evolved, over 16 seasons, into one of HistoryTV18’s most commercially and creatively significant content franchises. The numbers are not modest. Road Trippin With Rocky has accumulated over 2 billion impressions and more than 570 million video views, built on a format that is spontaneous, mobile-first and designed for on-the-go viewing. Its tone has remained consistent enough to build a genuinely loyal following across YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
Sixteen seasons in, most travel food shows are running out of road. Singh appears to be finding new ones.
