HAROLD McGEE,

A favourite of many Michelin-starred Chefs, ''for sheer inventiveness with milk itself as the primary ingredient no country on earth can match the India."

" I travel to India at least three to four time a year. It's always inspirational. There is so much to learn from India because each and every state is a country by itself and each has its own cuisine-it just amazes me. I keep my mind open and like to explore different places and pick up different influences as i go along. I don't actually think that there is a single state in India that i haven't visited."
