La Cocina
Goregaon-W, Mumbai 400062
Tiffin service for school children as well as party orders. Daily home cooked meals in lockdown.
Fancy some home made fare from an amazing Masterchef India contestant who has been delighting palates across Mumbai for almost a decade? Look no further!
Chemical free breads, Indian, Chinese, Thai and Continental food and fresh home cooked lunch tiffins and dabbas.
Originally from Jaipur, Rashmi moved to Mumbai as a new bride at the tender age of 20. Rejected by the Catering College on Cadell Road for the very sexist reason that since she was newly married and would soon have kids (prescient interviewers?) and abandon her career (because raising children renders you incompetent?), she resolved to have herself that much desired career in catering and hospitality, and to do it without a formal diploma. And boy, has she succeeded!!
Unrestricted by a commitment to any one institute, she acquired her skills from a number of different cuisine and category experts over the years, with a special mastery of North Indian and Continental cuisines. She spent a decade meeting home maker responsibilities in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, perfecting her South Indian cooking.
And now, she brings you all of those decades spent pursuing a hobby and a passion, through La Cocina.

Menu & Pricing
I take pride in personally maintaining very high standards of quality, hygiene and taste.
I love to cook for kids and believe that healthy doesn't mean bland, and simple fresh nutritious doe not have to be boringly plain. So I innovate to make the simplest of home style receipes into a treat!
I prepare healthy food which is also delicious as well as a visual delight, and can be eaten in different situations like even if it is at room temperature and not piping hot.
Kids hardly know their tasty food is all the nutritious veggies they usually refuse to eat and always ask for more! That's a promise!!
Mothers have very lovingly and politely arm twisted me into starting the daily lunch boxes and school dabbas for their kids which I pack with a variety of nutritious foods and a oodles of love!
I also take party orders for large family gatherings and parties.
Please call me to discuss bulk orders for almost any dish - like variants of Soups, Veg Baked Samosa, Freshly Baked Pav Bhaji, Idli Sambhar Chutney, Chole Tikkis, custom filling sandwiches, pancakes - basically any dish that can be called "Ghar ka Khana". Prices and cooking styles can be adjusted to your personal taste, dietary requirements or choice.
Request one day advance notice to enable me to buy fresh raw materials as I do not prefer using refrigerated vegetables and/or meats.
Please inquire about my latest menu as I keep adding and deleting items to keep my menu fresh and relevant to the times.

Rashmi is an amazing chef. I have ordered many mouthwatering dishes made by her, on several occasions. I find her chocolate cake and foccacia bread with dips, air fried samosas and her Thai papaya salad to be especially lovely! The dishes were fantastic, she is an excellent cook and personally tends to every order she takes!
