Seeing your strong enthusiasm, motivation and  willingness to make others know what you know well, and taking an effort to  bring them out in the form of books, and publish them for all to  read, I had predicted that you will beat the old legend,  Meenakshi Ammal.  It wasn’t flattery.  It was a fact. Now you  have made it!!!  It is a BIG achievement.  You are duly rewarded and  AWARDED.  Congratulations!!!   
        I  read the article in The Hindu too!
        All the Best and love, Bhaskaran

Dear Mrs.  Viji Varadarajan,
           Congratulations !! - I read about the  awards on Amazon. Your recipes are so good, simple & tasty. That's the reason  I am in love with your books & you are right - South Indian recipes deserve  to be well known internationally especially when we are so many in  numbers all over the world! There is so much more to this  ancient cuisine apart from Idli, Dosas & Mulagatawny Soup.
