Meet Shameen Miller

Free-spirited Shameen Miller was born in South Africa but is unsure of where all her ancestors come from. Dynamic host Tyrone Edwards shocks Shameen with the results of her DNA test. While Shameen believed her heritage may have included South Asian or North African, she is surprised to find out she has roots from somewhere she never expected. As she embarks on a journey to discover her newfound culture, Tyrone introduces Shameen to an expert chef from her newfound culture. The chef inspires Shameen with traditional cooking techniques and iconic dishes from her new heritage. Tyrone then takes Shameen to the DNA Dinners kitchen, where she prepares a delicious dish that blends traditional ingredients and flavours from both her South African and newfound culture. Shameen then shares the delicious meal with her family and they try to guess what her newfound roots are before she finally reveals it to them. In a twist, host Tyrone then shocks the family by revealing there is yet another culture in Shameen's background.
