Asma Khan is one of the most prominent female chefs in the UK. A trained lawyer, she started hosting supper clubs in 2015 which, by 2017, had become Darjeeling Express, one of London’s best Indian restaurants. From her all-female kitchen to her commitment to empowering migrant workers, she is a force for social change in the industry. This book celebrates the food she grew up with, dishes that form the foundation of the restaurant meals she serves today – in honour of her Ammu (mother).
