Cooke Town resident,
Andrea Cerilo, has been cooking single-handedly to send food to the sick and elderly, while also looking after her own family
It’s around 4.30 pm and Andrea Cerilo’s voice, laced with laughter, travels down the phone. There’s no sign that Cerilo has cooked a
full lunch for 15 families and sent it off to various destinations in Bengaluru. From Cooke Town, her neighbourhood, to Richmond Town and Banaswadi. “I’m just about to start prep for the night deliveries,” she says, and then adds that because of the lockdown she has no help. And she has to feed her own family of 5 children and her husband.
