...Robert May wouldn't cut it as a celebrity chef. His recipes are tortuous to follow, his ingredients are obscure, and he's never available for interview. Yet May is a role model for one of Britain's best-known heroes of the hob, multi-Michelin-starred Heston Blumenthal. May's The Accomplisht Cook, published in 1660, is one of the sources that Blumenthal draws upon to re-create historic dishes. These will be featured at his latest venture, the Hind's Head Hotel, a 17th century public house with an oak-paneled dining room, 49 km west of London...

An organization called the India Brand Equity Foundation left pashminas in the hotel rooms of all attendees and distributed Apple iPod Shuffles with prerecorded Indian pop music to a select few. Chefs including Atul Kochhar, the first Indian to receive a Michelin star, flew in to prepare meals. The message was clear: India is in. And less explicitly: it's time for the world's decision makers to stop obsessing about China and take a closer look at the other emerging Asian economic heavyweight.
