It was her first visit to Mexico aged 18 that ignited Miers' passion for the country and its cuisine, and today her street food-inspired restaurant group has been credited with making Mexican food more accessible than ever before in Britain.  
  
We find out what it's really like to be a MasterChef contestant, and how winning changed Miers' life forever; discover how she grew Wahaca from a teenage dream to a 25-branch business; and hear all about her struggles, successes and vision for the future.
