    Episode Three Batch From Scratch - The Shah Family

    Catch 'em batching this week from Potters Bar with the Shah family. Panna juggles her part-time job with running a busy home with 3 generations under one roof, and with each member wanting to eat different things, pleasing the family at mealtimes is a struggle. What's more, husband Bunty needs a low-fibre diet to manage his Crohn’s Disease, so chooses ready meals and expensive takeaways. All-in-all, this multi-diet living is hitting their pockets and the amount of time Panna spends in the kitchen.
