“Darjeeling Express is the story of a collective of women,” with author & restauranteur Asma Khan
About this episode
Asma Khan discusses her journey as a chef and the challenges faced by women in the restaurant industry.
We’re on a summer break and will be back with new episodes in September. In the meantime, here's one of our favourite episodes from the season with author, restauranteur and inspiring activist Asma Khan on the sidelines of What The Food at Alserkal Avenue in October. Asma became the first British chef to be featured on Chef’s Table , showcasing her work with Darjeeling Express in London, and celebrating the birth of daughters. She talks to Tiff how she’s fought the stigma of being a second daughter all her life, how the incredible women behind Darjeeling Express rallied through numerous challenges, and how fast Danny DeVito can run!
