The matriarch championing Kerala's Mappila cuisine - SilverKris

"A cosy, sunlit home kitchen on Kerala’s coast that became the creative and operational base for a cookbook author who brought Mappila cuisine into the public eye. It is where the seminal Malabar Muslim Cookery and the later A Kitchen Full of Stories were developed and recipe-testing was organised (dozens of volunteers were recruited via social media from a large following). The kitchen also doubles as the hub of a successful home catering business, was used to refine iconic Mappila dishes such as irachi pathiri and chemeen biryani, and served as the foundation for designing menus and training chefs for major hotels and restaurant groups." - Prathap Nair
