Denver, 36
Growing up with Sri Lankan parents, Denver assumed he’d be well prepared for the sensory onslaught of the Indian food scene. But it turns out he had a lot to learn; both from the flavours and from the people.
Like any trip to the subcontinent, Denver’s was one of self-discovery. It wasn’t until he’d broken countless naan breads around a shared dinner table did he begin to understand the intricacies of everyday India.
