Episode 2
Between rustling up mouth-watering curries and discovering an incredible family history, can Michela persuade the Aslam family to reveal the ingredients of their secret spice mix?
Michela Chiappa is in Cardiff to meet the Aslam family, four generations of food lovers. More than 20 of them gather every Saturday for a family feast. Between joining them to rustle up some of the family's favourite curries, fish dishes, and a keema bolognese, Michela meets 90-year-old head of the family Mohammed who came from Bangladesh, then East Pakistan, in 1958 and went on to open one of Wales's very first Asian restaurants. Alongside wife Sirajunessa, they raised six children, all while running restaurants and grocery shops that imported specialist ingredients and produce from Bangladesh and sold a popular home-made spice blend. Michela attempts to prise the family's secret spice mix from the keeper of the recipe, Mohammed's son Azman, as well as helping grandson Yusuf to master one of his grandmother's specialities to bring along to a special party celebrating his grandparents' 54th wedding anniversary.
