Sample some tasty treats at this demo and tasting event with renowned chef Asma Khan. From her first appearance on Netflix’s Chef’s Table, Khan has entranced with the magic of her cooking, transporting audiences across timelines and continents through tales of the food she grew up with and memories of her hometown of Kolkata.
Her cookbook Monsoon is a masterclass in taste, texture and balance between the six Ayurvedic flavours (Tangy, Bitter, Hot, Sweet, Sour and Salty). Her mouthwatering recipes range from Paneer Tikka Skewers and Monsoon Pakoras to Tamarind Prawns and Aubergine with Poppy Seeds.
Khan is widely recognised for her role as a social change advocate in the food industry. Her restaurant Darjeeling Express is known for its unique blend of street food, comfort food from Calcutta and royal dishes from her Mughlai heritage. The food is cooked by an all-women team who began, like Khan, as home cooks. She talks to British-Nigerian broadcaster and food writer, Jimi Famurewa.
