By Archana Pidathala
My culinary skills are passable and any new recipe I need is just a call-to-mom away. I never saw the need to own a cook book until I came across this one. I ordered the book after reading about it on NY Times and was not disappointed.
This cloth-bound, aesthetically pleasing book is going to be a cherished keepsake as well as an invaluable reference source. It is an exhaustive compendium on Telugu(South-Indian) cooking. Archana did her due diligence in recreating and documenting the recipes.

Nirmalaโs granddaughter, Archana, set out to put this book together after her passing. Five Morsels of Love is more than just a cookbook. It is a granddaughterโs love letter to her grandmother. Honoring the time-tested recipes and the craft itself. Replete with childhood anecdotes and rustic pictures, this book took me down a cherished memory lane of my own.
Every woman carries within her the knowledge and skills honed by women in her life. The slightest change in the recipe, the spices and herbs that are used and even the order in which they are what make her own signature brand. Her unique expression of love. This book is a celebration of this expression passed down through generations.
