MUMBAI: Shipra Khanna just packed her bags and her flavours because when a celebrated chef takes you on a global plate tour, even the couch starts feeling like first-class. Warner Bros.

Hosted and curated by the popular chef and television personality, the show blends food, travel and culture through an intimate and immersive lens.
