As a true Durbanite at heart, I moved to the United States in 2003 to be with my wife and to start a new future. After arriving, amongst other challenges, it was difficult for me to adjust to the flavors of food, and food in general. Even though, I appreciated the variety of foods in America, I would miss my mother’s home cooked meals, my neighbors and friends home cooked meals. I can remember running across the road when my mum made vegetables to eat a lovely mutton curry next door. Like yourselves, we would ask family to mail or wait for someone to go down and hope that they would say yes to bring spices back for you. All so that we can have the taste of an authentic home cooked meal.
