Doris Pillai keeps a close watch on her “students” as they roll small portions of cookie dough into evenly-sized balls, in her home in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur. The 92-year-old woman is teaching her 14-year-old great-granddaughter Àine Tuohy and 33-year-old granddaughter Muna Mazlan how to make almond cookies, a family favourite.
Doris is the cook in the family, and keeper of the family’s recipes.
