your eloquent expressions are a rare gift…they just touch the heart…thank you seeing Pedatha as you do. To call your post a virtual candle is the sort of gesture that would have reached her in a span, wherever she may be. Pedatha’s family joins us in expressing warmest regards to all of you.

I had read a lot about her during the past few months and was hoping to buy her book soon. SHe looks so serene in her photos.

Although I didn’t know her, I feel as if I did. Her spirit shines from every page of her cookbook, and those recipes feel like some old family recipe a favorite aunt just decided to share with you. And the pictures! Her eyes shining and her zest for life and food apparent on every page.

In a way she lives on – even with those of us on the far side of the world – in the pages of that book. Thank you Jigyasa and Pratibha for creating such a wonderful legacy.

I made shortbread (butter, flour, sugar, kneaded by hand–I honestly never measure, I just do it?) tonight, with a few teaspoons of rose water and candied rose petal bits in it along with the usual dash of vanilla and sprinkle of cinnamon. Wish I could email you some to cheer you up…
