Optimum nutrition has been the focus of Rashmi’s personal and professional endeavors.

She believes in encouraging children to incorporate more color and variety to their food with local and seasonal produce, nuts, seeds, in addition to other food groups to benefit from the rich culinary diversity she has inherited.
