What strikes me about Ammu is the desire for connection – to home, to family, and the comfort of food you ate as a child.

Madeleine has lived half her life in South Africa and the other in London which has widened her experiences of multiple cultures, languages and cuisines.

I have also never been a good rice cook, with it always going a bit stodgy or putting too much water.
