Today is L’s birthday. 

I tried to commemorate her legacy, her hardwork. We Love To Eat!

Leena, our eldest cousin took on the herculean task of documenting these recipes. She painstakingly put those ingredients and methods to paper. This site is our way of contributing to the legacy she started, what was once passed on only by standing shoulder to shoulder at the stove, trying to keep up while someone said “watch carefully, I won’t show you twice”. It is a living cookbook, full of exact measurements where we’ve managed them and affectionate vagueness where we have not, capturing both the precision and the beautiful chaos of how our family actually cooks. Most of all, it is a homage to the women and men who fed us into who we are, their jokes, their stubbornness, their kitchen genius preserved one pot, one pan, one stained recipe at a time.
