My sister Divya and I grew up in Chennai with our loving grandmother Sarojini aka Saroja. She is a fierce mother and an incredible cook. Her recipes are traditional, handed down over generations in Kerala. Her food is heavenly, consistent, comforting and reminds us why people say "Food is the way to a person's heart."In this book, we have reverently curated all her recipes to make it easy for the 21st century woman or man to try traditional Palakkad cooking.We also have stories to tell of Amama - memories and experiences that we think will bring a smile to your face. Happy reading and cooking!
