Cooking solo for 500 people

My good friend Ramki is all set to attempt a record setting feat of cooking Solo for 500 people and there is an open invitation for you to join the event.

Here are the details of the event as narrated by Ramki himself:

What: You are invited to a record breaking event, where I'm attempting to cook a full fledged, 10 course South Indian marriage feast for 500 people. Everything right from washing & cutting vegetables to getting the food on the table would be done single handedly, in less than 3 hours. The feast will have dishes from all four south Indian states.

When: Saturday, Jan 17, 2009, 3.00 PM to 8.00 PM

Where: GG Mahal, Behind Arumbakkam, MMDA colony bus terminus, Chennai

How: South Indian cuisine is built from four major building blocks - Tamarind, Tuvar dal, Yogurt and coconut. All the innumerable curries cooked across South India are just various combinations of these basic building blocks. By understanding these combinations, it is easy to cook up a wide variety of South Indian curries.

Why: To demonstrate the unity of South Indian cuisine, at a time when unity is sorely needed. There is nothing better than food to bring people together!

Who: I'm Ramki, a software engineer & a management graduate but prouder to be known as a passionate cook.

As a big fan of Ramki’s cooking, here is wishing him all the best for this mega event and his famous One Page Cookbooks that makes cooking look such a simple act.
