Last week we met a family who were in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu for vacation. We were discussing about art , environment and recycling products.During discussion we shared about Lumbertome and how we are trying to bring wood based business and art to limelight. Getting interested with our work they showed us a area near kitchen where vintage small wooden box which they collected and refurbished. Wooden box has traditional manthani , mini pickle jar & a book prepared by grandchildren detailing about different receipts that their grandmother made during here time we felt this is also a way to remember their ancestor and their values.
Creation of Grandma's Recipe Book :
Grandchildren came up with idea to document in remembrance of their Grandma Kamala Radhakrishnan (a) Subbalakshmi (Chuppu ) and her diversified recipe. So each one of her children & grandchildren around world decided to make one recipe in similar way Chuppu Grandma prepared dishes. These recipe were first recorded and edited together as Chuppu's Kitchen digital book. Later they made a Chuppu's Kitchen Recipe Book and shared with every children and grandchildren family. Also with recipe book kitchen utensils used by Chuppu Grandma was also shared between families. So each family of Chuppu Grandma have book with utensils in kitchen and follow her ancestor food culture in regular life.
We were admiring the way consumers are evolving and bringing creative ideas to make shelter into home also cultural values into their modern life.
