Sodexho to partner with Devi chef

by Nick Vagnoni, Posted Mar 27th 2006 @ 11:05AM

As someone who endured four years of cafeteria food courtesy of Sodexho, I found news of their new partnership with acclaimed Indian chef Suvir Saran kind of exciting. Saran has garnered all sorts of praise at his New York City restaurant Devi, and will now serve as a consultant for the 120K employee food service giant. Saran's official title will be "international concept and brand development partner," according to a Sodexho press release. Apparently Saran will work with Sodexho chefs to create modified versions of the recipes in his Indian Home Cooking cookbook. Superchefblog has more, as does Food Business Review Online.

Now, just take the last step towards professionalism in your postings, so that you state your source clearly from the first. In this case, you should start with the statement that "Suvir Saran is partnering with Sodexho, reports Superchefblog," followed by your personal experience, followed by your observation(s).

You're getting there!

Actually, I have an rss feed for Food Business Review that I check fairly regularly, so that's how I initially found out about the Sodexho deal. From there I just Googled it and found the Superchefblog post as well as the Sodexho press release. As for starting out with personal opinion, I think that's ok on a blog sometimes, as the whole format is more conversational than, say, a newspaper or a trade magazine.

- SlashFood author's personal experience/s.
- SlashFood author's personal comments.
