Who are we?
Virudhunagar Tholandi Group of Companies based out of historic and business centric town of Virudhunagar,South India. We are Specialized into educating and re introducing the traditional cooking and recreating the forgotten recipes and introduce them to future generations.
We have a great passion for cooking. We have been trying to keep the traditional recipes alive by sharing with our near and dear. We believe that the easy way to enter into someone's heart is through their stomach. We have recreated and mastered over 400+ recipes and recorded them for the future generation.
We blindy believe the assumed diet plans like Paleo Diet, but failed to follow our tested and tried healthy grand parents recipes which are tailored for our family. Our Grand parent's recipes were based on the locally avaiable products and they suit us well for our body.
We even donot know how to eat. Those days our parents used to teach us how to enjoy every item. Especially how to eat those healthy bone marrows by teaching us easy way to break the bones, removing the fish bones etc., We just eat rhe flesh and throw away the bone. We avoid eating the fats and we lost the taste and we say food is not tasting like it used to be during my childhood days and convince ourselves. Actually we donot follow our grand parents cooking processes, which is the reason for losing the taste.
