Now, entrepreneur Shashi has made headlines in the September issue of Good Housekeeping magazine in a two page promo article sponsored by Legal & General.

Turning the spotlight on Shashi, 69, the feature focuses on how she used her retirement to start a family artisan food company with Sanjay, producing spice tin gifts along with spice blends, loose teas and cookware, as well as creating recipes based on year sof experience cooking for friends and family.

Explains Shashi, who comes up with new blends: “The idea behind the business has been to empower people to cook more flavoursome food.”
