It is for her extraordinarily popular Good Food Guide that she is most celebrated (Indiaâs first-ever, city-restaurant guide).

She is the contributing editor of the Asian Miele, the Asian restaurant guide. Singh has represented India in international seminars and discussions in New York, London, Singapore and California, and is a Chaine des Rotisseurs. Her most recent, first-of-its-kind book (the worldâs first) A Vegetarian in Paris ... The Ultimate Vegetarian Guide to Paris, has been in great demand and is already in first reprint.
Recent Awards-Winner of âThe Best of the Bestâ World Gourmand Awards in Paris (2009), in Frankfurt (2008) and in Kuala Lumpur (2006) for her books, she has been awarded the âExperience Singaporeâ award in Singapore and theâ Atout France Best Media Personality Award 2010â by the French government.
