[Traveller]

Anil Rajvanshi should celebrate!

"José Andrés.  (Applause.)  The 2015 National Humanities Medal to José
Andrés for cultivating our palates and shaping our culture.  He has
introduced new and vibrant ingredients to our nation, whether through his
innovative techniques in the kitchen, his work on clean cooking technology
and access to education, or the inspiration he provides to new Americans.
 (Applause.)

Salute, sirs.

Eating out is a cook's dream. A chef has a matching dream - to feed the
hungry.

Chef Anders is a "Cooking Ambassador" for GACC.

I wish I could cook on naval ships like he did. (Even with solid fuels, so
long as there are enough vents.)

I have visited Zaytinya once. Expensive but impressive.

Washington has many opportunities to wine-dine-and-shine while saving the
poor and the planet. (I didn't get any of that, though I made similar
claims and will readily make them, with some footnotes.)

I remember peeking in a UN Foundation gala at the Willard Intercontinental
party to honor Prof. Mohammed Yunus. The poor can make you so rich.

Chef Anders wrote a blog on White House website A Cooking Revolution: How
Clean Energy and Cookstoves Are Saving Lives

"Are saving lives?" Such claims are face-saving lies. This was serving a
fine dessert full of air - "Chef José Andrés explains what President Obama,
Prime Minister Modi, and advocates like himself are doing to save lives and
combat climate change through cooking."

My dear prime minister is spending billions of dollars to make LPG and
electric cooking affordable to the masses. The US president is funding EPA
and NIH about $37 million each (as and when authorized by the Congress).
