あらすじ・解説
This week, James and Luke are meeting and eating with Sanjay Anand, MBE: owner of Madhu’s of Southall, as well as six other restaurants, including Madhu’s of Mayfair at The Dilly. He documents his family’s journey from India to Kenya, where he was born, and on to the UK, where – over the last four decades – he has seen venue managers going from turning their noses up at the aromas of South Asian cooking to begging for more. Madhu’s high chai now outsells its traditional English counterpart in some of the UK’s most elite hotels.
**Introduction** (0:00 – 6:11)
(Starter)
Luke and James describe the historical migration and the integration of South Asians in East Africa.
**Interview** (6:12 – 25:43)
(Main Course)

**Post interview discussion** (25:44 – 35:36)
(Dessert)
James and Luke outline the importance of authenticity replication in Madhu’s cuisine and how his twice migrant status affects how home is represented.
Anna explains the creation and practice of British citizenship.
**Closing Remarks and acknowledgments** (35:37 – 36:13)
