Sanjeev Kapoor: the chef who's one in a million | Life and style | The Observer:

"The irony in India is that those interested in cooking are those who have the least need to do it. Most Indian middle class homes have both a full-time maid and cook.

Or are they now so used to the $9.99 buffet to even mess with it?
