Mrs K M Mathew's Finest Recipes
Few have championed the cuisine of Kerala like Mrs K. M. Mathew (19222003), who pioneered cooking and authored twentyseven cookbooks, introducing an entire generation to the culinary culture of the state. A true master of the craft, she travelled across the length and breadth of Kerala, visiting homes and restaurants, noting down recipes, before going back home to experiment with dishes repeatedly until they were perfect. Eventually, she ushered in a shift from oral telling of recipes to written instructions, and before long, due to her innovative and easy stepbystep approach to cooking, her cookbooks started being gifted to newly married couples. And even today, her books not only remind people of her unforgettable recipes but also inspire new readers to rush to the kitchen. Published in the year of Mrs K M Mathew's 100th birth anniversary, Mrs K M Mathew's Finest Recipes, after the success of her seminal book Flavours of the Spice Court, brings to a new generation of readers a definitive compilation of her alltime top recipes that have been enjoyed around the world.
Annamma
'This is my first book - a book for a woman who wrote twenty-five books. The irony of it pains me.' In this poignant, bittersweet memoir, K.M. Mathew recounts the joys of his marriage of sixty-one years to the accomplished, warm-hearted Mrs. K.M. Mathew, popularly known as Annamma. This intimate account of a husband's love for his wife is equally a revelatory glimpse into the lives of two highly influential figures. At the helm of the giant media empire, Malayalam Manorama, the Mathews established an entire social ethos and paved the way for a new, forward-thinking generation. Written with great simplicity and beauty, the book creates a vivid picture of the vibrant, adventurous and generous spirit of Annamma: author, expert cook, chief editor of Vanitha, dedicated social worker, beautician, teacher, administrator, leader, political activist, musician, aesthete.

The Eighth Ring
This deeply felt memoir, translated from the acclaimed original in Malayalam, chronicles the endeavours of four generations of the Kandathil Varughese Mappillai family that set up the Malayala Manorama, the Travancore National and Quilon Bank and other enterprises. With great candour, K.M. Mathew describes how their fortunes changed when their support to the nationalist State Congress brought upon them the wrath of the Travancore dewan, leading to the bank's collapse; and how through sheer persistence and diligence they could rebuild the paper and go on to establish huge companies. Mathew also shows that throughout the paper upheld the values of liberalism, credibility and democracy, which it continues to do until today. Featuring some of Kerala's tallest figures over almost a century, The Eighth Ring is a rich portrait of a remarkable man, his family-clan and their stirring times.
