There's love on the menu

If I should meet Bhicoo Manekshaw, I shall give her a big hug. One, because she has written a cook book called Feast of Love that makes me want to sing out loud; two, because she has something to do with a wonderfully named restaur ant called Basil and Thyme in Delhi that serves memorable fare, and three because we have something in common. Bhicoo is an Air Force wife too. And, she became the first Indian woman to complete the Advance Certificate Course of the Cordon Bleu School of Cookery, London in 1963. I on the other hand joined the ranks of the ‘also cooked’ after wedding the air force.
