Hello and welcome to Chef at Large. Thank you for visiting and we hope you enjoy your stay here.

We’re a bunch of people who love food in all it’s forms and are doing our best to share our passion. As of the first of October 2009, we changed our content delivery style to be more magazine-like, with 7 articles posted on the first of every month. These include 3 food service outlet reviews, one old book excerpt, one random article, one knowledge article and one lead story. We hope to include 2 more – a product review and one recipe shortly. With the general aim of provividing as much value to our readers, we’re going to try and scale up the number of articles as far as possible without compromising on quality and consistency.

Chef at Large is made possible because of many people’s efforts and help. Some of them are:

Vinny – Editor

Vinny writes articles on various aspects of food, including recipes and edits our articles before they appear.She particularly likes to write on times gone by and her culinary memories.

She has been cooking at home and for the last 32 years and is now a restaurateur. An Army officers wife, Vinny has travelled the length and breadth of India and has been exposed to many of the numerous variations of Indian cuisine. She likes to experiment and is particularly fond of breakfast food and meats. See all her articles here.

Toni Anne Alyn – Editor

Toni lives in England and writes about her day to day experiences with food. Her unique style of writing and sense of humor make each piece a delight to read. She also edits articles before they’re published online.

Toni is an ex-motorcyclist with a penchant for French food, if she can get it, but has enjoyed most cuisines that she has tasted. The sole exception to that being Finnish food. She has traveled rather a lot in her life but has never been to Asia or the Orient and now confines her travels mostly to Europe and Ireland. A voracious reader, she devours books by the dozen, mostly about food and/or travel but also loves the Discworld novels of Terry Pratchett, and has been known to get hooked on historical biographies. Her other passion in life is art, she paints watercolours, and particulary likes the Impressionists and Post Impressionists; Gustav Klimt and Vincent van Gogh are her all time favourites and her living hero is Anthony Gormley the sculptor. See all her articles here.

Sid Khullar – Managing Editor

Sid cooks, photographs, reviews, eats, edits and contributes it all to Chef at Large.

Sid has been in software for the last 16 years. His interest in food started a long time back (first cooked at the age of 9) and has been studying food as a structured obsession for the last 10 years. His food is typically a mixture of different styles of cooking and culinary cultures. Sid also likes writing, photography, traveling, reading and meeting people among other interests. See all his articles here.

Amit Uppal – Contributor

Amit is a former Indian Air Force Officer who has a soul-deep love for food and everything related to food. He loves to travel, read and write, is game every time a new place is to be discovered, or a new dish to be tasted. Amit loves to experiment in his kitchen and never cooks the same dish the same way twice! Presently based in Noida, Amit is well travelled and has extensively tasted regional foods. See all his articles here.

Idea #1: A little text in your email signature

The easiest way to share our content with your friends is to include a little sentence in your email signature. This could be really anything you like. We suggest:

I recommend – Chef At Large

All you need to do is to edit the signature in your email program (like Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Qualcomm Eudora etc) or favorite webmail program (Google Mail, HotMail, Yahoo Mail etc) and add the sentence above, ensuring the text ‘Chef At Large’ contains a link to ‘http://food.sidkhullar.com’. Alternatively, if your email signature supports HTML, then you could copy/paste the text below.

I recommend – <a href=”http://food.sidkhullar.com”>Chef At Large</a>

Idea #2: A cute little button

These little buttons look really neat and are quite effective too. They’ll make your email signature or blog look a little more colorful and share our content too.

All you need to do is right click on the image above, choose ‘Save As’ and save the file on your computer. Then you could either insert it into your signature or upload it to your blog, linking it to ‘http://food.sidkhullar.com’.

That’s all we have at the moment, but we’ll come up with more ways soon. In the meanwhile, if you need any help with the above, do send me a mail and we’ll sort out the issue in no time at all!
