Leaders' chefs wined and dined in Delhi

The chefs who cook for the world's leaders usually keep a low profile, leaving the limelight to their bosses. But once a year, it's their turn to be wined and dined and treated as honored guests in a foreign country.

Billed as the world's most exclusive gastronomic society, the Club des Chefs des Chefs brings together the men and women who cook for heads of state to exchange ideas and - presumably - insider information on their bosses' tastes.

They have met annually since the club was established in Paris in 1977. This year, for the first time, 17 visiting chefs gathered in India, hosted by Indian President Pranab Mukherjee's personal chef, Montu Saini.
