“I’m Chef Akila. I grew up in a small village in South India.
I was born there in 1945. My father practised Ayurvedic medicine and believed that food is medicine. He taught us the benefits of spices, herbs and real, wholesome Indian food.
For over 60 years, people from villagers to VIPs have enjoyed my cooking. Now I live in Yorkshire with my son, an NHS consultant doctor, and his family.
If it isn’t good enough for my grandchildren, it doesn’t leave my kitchen. You get the same food that our family eats.”
