The Mistry family

The Mistry family from Croydon, South London, have a vast and varied repertoire - and although they all have a proud Indian heritage they love to make recipes and dishes based on their travels.

Mitesh and Prachi met in India during his last few weeks working out there. It wasn’t love at first sight for Prachi as she handed him her business card at the end of the evening. But when he returned back to the UK they had a long-distance relationship and she would regularly use video calling to teach him how to cook dishes.

Prachi is the brains of the cooking operation and runs a very tight ship.  Anup, a software analyst, has big and bold ideas when it comes to cooking. He has travelled extensively which has had a massive impact on what he cooks. After traveling to Italy when he was 14, Italian cuisine hit the top spot for him.
