The kitchen has always been a magical place for me. It's where raw produce and spices are put together in pretty precise measurements to make dishes, which can astound and even fool your taste buds. I've grown up peeking into the kitchen at home as I'm sure quite a few of you have, too. Whether you've decided since to let the secrets lie or investigate them in full is your life choice.
I've wanted during the shooting of this series to uncover just a few people who may have led ordinary lives, but made some extra ordinary dishes. Food makes you happy. There's no doubt about it and a secret recipe makes ME happier because I then know how to make what I'm eating, over and over and over again.
The first and most difficult thing in making a series like this is where do we begin? Geographically I chose the South of India because it's a region, which I personally don't know too much about. And what I found astounded me and everyone else with me, including my Bacardi and butter chicken consuming sardar director!
In the weeks to come I'm going to try and give you some of the flavour of the shoot and the places I went to, things, which we couldn't cover in the series through images. I'll also be giving you all the recipes of the dishes, which have been cooked on the programme.
But please, if you have a recipe, which is a family heirloom, don't hold it close to your bosom; share it with the rest of us. I'd also love to hear about why and how the recipe became famous!

I don't know about you, but every time I hear someone in a restaurant say that what they've put into their food is a secret, it always gets me hungry for home. Maybe its my insatiably curious nature or my matching appetite but secrets have a way of making me ravenous.
