And it is a sentiment that echoes with Rakesh Raghunathan as well, which is why he decided to begin documenting long-forgotten and heirloom recipes. His latest venture, a web series titled Ammavum Naanum, is an attempt at capturing long-lost recipes from South India; especially recipes from his mother’s kitchen. The 12-episode series will see Rakesh engage in food, conversation and nostalgia with his mother, Rama Raghunathan, as they recreate some heirloom recipes. So the show has that element of nostalgia for people who find that it resonates with their roots,” says Rakesh. But this is probably why I am so passionate about food; my mother’s influence.
