India being the only country in the whole world to consider vegetarianism as mainstream, the show Masterchef India 4 is going all vegetarian this season. All the contestants who earlier felt that they could not participate in the show because they only cooked vegetarian food can now be part of the show. Chef Vikas Khanna, who prepared an all-veg meal for President Obama in the White House in 2009, admits that the decision to come out with a purely vegetarian show is right. He said, "When I was learning French cooking in France, we were told that it is easier to cook meat, but much more difficult to cook vegetarian food. India is the only country where you find so many vegetarians, and so it is justified that the show goes all-veg this season. Besides, we are now often called for all-veg tasting menus and this becomes a challenge and inspiration." (timesofindia.indiatimes.com)
