The inspiration for this book is the culinary genius of an 85-year old grand lady, Mrs. Subhadra Rau Parigi, fondly known as Pedatha, and the eldest offspring of India's former President Bharat Ratna Dr. V.V.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, still retaining the traditional flavours and an old world charm. Intrigued by her passion which has not diminished with age, Jigyasa Giri and Pratibha Jain take the initiative to record this culinary legacy for posterity. This book is more than a record of some of these traditional, time-tested recipes. Each section page is designed with a write-up about that section and photographs of Pedatha. There are interesting variations in many recipes, and special tips by Pedatha throughout the book. 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.
