About Philip Mitchell

Phil Mitchell is a passionate food specialist with a deep love for authentic Indian cuisine. With years of experience behind the stove and an encyclopaedic knowledge of spices, techniques, and regional flavours, Phil has become a go-to name for traditional Indian cooking.

At his much-loved deli, Phil doesn’t just serve food—he shares a story. Every dish, from the slow-cooked dals to the hand-ground masalas, is rooted in the age-old methods passed down through generations. His deli has become a local gem, drawing in food lovers seeking real Indian flavours made with care and cultural respect.

Phil’s most recent project, Our Food Memories, is a heartfelt digital journey. This newly launched website showcases a collection of interviews Phil has been conducting with members of the older generation—grandmothers, grandfathers, aunties, uncles—who share their personal memories of food, family, and the recipes that have travelled through time.

From stories of hand-rolled chapatis cooked on open fires in Punjab, to secret spice blends lovingly recreated in British kitchens, Our Food Memories is more than a website—it’s an archive of tradition, taste, and togetherness.

Whether he’s cooking in the deli or listening to tales from someone’s childhood kitchen, Phil Mitchell remains dedicated to one mission: preserving the beauty of food heritage, one recipe at a time.
