Manju Malhi's parents came to the UK from Bombay in the nineteen-sixties. Her mother worked as a nurse in Harefield Hospital and her father was a textile chemist. They didn't have a great deal of money but they improvised to make good meals and even her father loved to cook. His cooking was influenced by the fact that his mother came from the Punjab. Manju's introduction to cooking came about in an unfortunate way. Bullied at school for being different, she threw herself into cooking.
