Mrs Patel's

My grandmother’s food was loved by many — our small home was always full of guests enjoying her food, they still reminisce now!! To this day you cannot leave her house without eating. This is the food that Mrs Patel makes, handed down through many generations. The source is a small village in Gujarat on the westernmost coast of India. The recipes are unwritten and yes, before you ask, guarded.

The passion for food and bringing people together was the inspiration to start Mrs Patel's. My family moved from India to the UK in 1968. Like most immigrants they had nothing, but they were rich with hopes and dreams. In recent years, mom’s health has deteriorated but she glows with pride in the knowledge that I’m sharing her passion for cooking exquisite food.

I spent a year travelling, seeing the most beautiful places in the world and sampling many different cuisines and my passion grew even stronger. My flavoursome food has now become loved and appreciated by so many.
