Traditional Food Around the World

Wherever life took us, we asked one question: how did people here traditionally eat?

The culture my mother cultivated continued in the US. I learned about American food, and wherever I travelled, from Mexico to Europe and the Middle East, I asked about traditional food and food practices and brought them into our lifestyle.

In the US I cooked in traditional vessels: Kerala vessels, clay pots and traditional Kerala alloy vessels.

For our son, born and brought up in the US, I made home-made pizzas, noodles, burgers and sandwiches: any cultural dish, cooked at home, just as my mother cooked everything at home rather than going out.
