Shipra Khanna’s cookbook called The Spice Route was reportedly inspired from her travels, recipes from her grandmother and mother and also from the kitchen of MasterChef. Shipra’s daughter suffers from cerebral palsy and was advised by doctors from eating outside. Hence, the chef reportedly prepared restaurant-like food at home.
