dear Sri Jaisimman,

It is wonderful that this project is being undertaken. 
To get a good sample of the different cooking traditions for divine 
food within the Ramanuja SampradAyam, I suggest the following 
temples - I can provide contacts for a couple of them via personal 
email to you -

(i) mElukOte (thiru nArAyaNapuram)
(ii) srIrangam
(iii) kanchIpuram
(iv) thirumala (thiruppathi)

Each of the above major centers have some unique divine food, with 
some specialities. It may be helpful - especially in srIrangam and 
mElukOte - for you to follow the types of divine food prepared and 
offered during the course of the day, and of course during major 
festivals throughout the year.


adiyEn madhurakavi dAsan,
varadhan
