The Gourmand World Cookbook Award-winner Rashmi Uday Singh, is synonymous with Good Food for the past two decades.

It is for her extraordinarily popular Good Food Guide that she is most celebrated (India’s first-ever, city-restaurant guide). This handy, first-of-its-kind, insider’s guide to Good Food established Singh as the nation’s most clued-in commentator on all things edible. She also runs the highly esteemed “Rashmi Uday Singh’s Good Food Academy” and used to run “Rashmi Uday Singh’s Good Food Galleries”.

Her TV show “Delicious Discoveries with Rashmi Uday Singh” was broadcasted on ET NOW and “Foodie Awards” on TIMES NOW. She was selected to be on Gordon Ramsay’s South India guide and has also filmed with Gordon for Channel 4 “Great Escapes”.
International Work-Chairman of the Central Asia region of the London-based “World’s 50 Best Restaurant Academy”, she has been on the jury for “The World’s Best Woman Chef” contest in France. She is the contributing editor of the Asian Miele, the Asian restaurant guide. Singh has represented India in international seminars and discussions in New York, London, Singapore and California, and is a Chaine des Rotisseurs. Her most recent, first-of-its-kind book (the world’s first) A Vegetarian in Paris ... The Ultimate Vegetarian Guide to Paris, has been in great demand and is already in first reprint.
Recent Awards-Winner of “The Best of the Best” World Gourmand Awards in Paris (2009), in Frankfurt (2008) and in Kuala Lumpur (2006) for her books, she has been awarded the “Experience Singapore” award in Singapore and the” Atout France Best Media Personality Award 2010” by the French government. The Gourmand World Cookbook Award has nominated “The Times Food Guide - Mumbai” as “India Winner” for 2011.
