In the journey of the self, we often revisit our past, our
tradition, our culture to find ourselves. It is a pleasure to
invite you to share in one such journey... a journey that began
more than eighty years ago and has found its culmination in a
befitting tribute – "Cooking at Home with Pedatha". This book
revisits tradition, a culinary tradition of an illustrious
family, which fed not just friends and family, but many
stalwarts of India’s glorious past. |

| Jigyasa
Giri and Pratibha Jain take the
initiative to record this
legacy for posterity. The unfolding of this culinary legacy
centres around eighty-five-year-old Subhadra Krishna Rau
Parigi. Fondly called Pedatha, (short for Peddha Atthayya,
which means father’s sister in Telugu), she is the oldest
offspring of former President of India, Bharat Ratna Dr. V.V.
Giri, and Smt. Saraswathi Bai Giri. |

A
passionate cook, Pedatha's recipes are much sought after by
friends and relatives. Her cooking has remained unchanged in
the face of changing times, retaining the traditional flavours
and an old world charm. At her best and happiest in the
kitchen, she has taught many younger sisters, daughters,
grand-daughters and daughters-in-law, and has once again
shared these age-old recipes with Jigyasa and Pratibha.

"Our heartfelt desire was to show Pedatha how a 'seemingly'
ordinary skill of hers is in truth a rare genius…and thus came
about this book at the greatest speed possible", the authors
say. |

| SECTIONS OF
THIS BOOK |
 |
Through a
journey of love and learning, the authors take the initiative
to record this culinary legacy for posterity. Rendered in
stunning aesthetics, the book also gives a peek into the
simple presentation of traditional Andhra vegetarian food, as
well as the affection and joy which was shared in bridging the
gap between the spoken and the written word. It is a tribute
to Pedatha and her generation. As the prominent food columnist
of more than 50 years Mrs. Malathi Chandoor has applauded,
"All of us will live for 70 years or 80 years, but this book
will live for ever." |
