There’s
one
thing
that
has
connected
the
Kapoors
across
generations:
their
deep
love
for
CINEMA
&
FOOD.
Just
a
week
before
this
very
special
family
lunch,
Armaan
Jain
(Raj
Kapoor’s
grandson)
and
the
producer
of
the
special
received
a
phone
call
from
his
cousin,
Karisma
Kapoor,
who
had
a
surprise
up
her
sleeve.
“I
had
something
very
special
to
show,”
Karisma
shared.
“This
is
a
cookbook
that
Dada
ji
gave
me.”
On
the
very
first
page
of
the
now-treasured
cookbook
was
Raj
Kapoor’s
very
special
message
for
his
granddaughter:
To
Lolo,
My
darling,
a
woman’s
way
to
a
man’s
heart
is
through
his
stomach.
I
want
you
to
try
all
these
recipes
on
your
grandfather
before
you
meet
HIM.
“The
cookbook
contained
all
the
things
he
liked,”
Karisma
reminisced,
smiling
at
the
memory.
As
Armaan
flipped
through
the
pages
of
the
lovingly
handmade
scrapbook
of
recipes,
he
instantly
knew
what
the
family
meal
had
to
be.
“Fried
peanuts,
cheese
balls…
I
think
this
is
what’s
going
to
be
on
the
menu.
We
need
a
lot
of
fried
food
that
day,”
he
laughed.
But
Karisma’s
gift
didn’t
stop
there.
Tucked
alongside
the
cookbook
was
a
heartwarming
photograph-
a
young
Karisma
sitting
on
her
grandfather’s
lap.
“With
this,
I
found
his
picture…
please
look
at
my
stomach,
I
was
a
foodie
from
that
time
only,”
Karisma
mused
with
a
laugh.
The
moment
made
Armaan
pause,
visibly
moved.
“You
were
a
full
Kapoor
from
that
time
only.
Such
a
cute
picture.
He
loved
you…
he
loved
all
of
you.
I
wish
I
could
meet
him.”
This
moment,
simple,
nostalgic,
and
filled
with
love,
became
the
heart
of
Dining
with
The
Kapoors.
What
began
as
a
cookbook
from
Raj
Kapoor
to
his
beloved
granddaughter
became
the
emotional
blueprint
for
a
meal
that
celebrated
family,
food,
and
the
memories
that
never
fade.
The
table
is
set.
