I woke early to get to Heathrow. British Airways are big sponsors for the Taste of Britain festival so I had been confident that 'the world's favourite airline' would be expecting me.....how wrong I was.

After a foggy, damp squib of a drive we arrived only to be told at check-in that I would be lucky to get a seat and had been dropped to "standby". Great start - not.

Panic set in as I needed to be preparing in the kitchens within 18 hours for an opening press launch.

Frantic calls to India and the problem was quickly solved by the High Commission and I was even promoted to First Class!

Early morning

The flight arrived on time in the early morning hours in Delhi and yet the place was heaving with masses of people. The noise and hum of taxi horns quite deafening.

The car met me with the Sheraton Chef on board and we travelled for about 30 minutes to the hotel - in the diplomatic area of the city.

It was a warm and sultry night with a haze ever present even at 3am. After only three hours sleep I donned my chef's outfit and made my way to the kitchens - an amazing sight was to greet me there that I just hadn't imagined.

India's Richard and Judy

Find out later this week how the first day in the kitchens go and the big Press Conference and my appearance on Indias Richard and Judy!!!
