Asma Khan is an Indian-born British chef and a social change advocate in the food industry. She joins Google to discuss her book, “Monsoon: Delicious Indian recipes for every day and season,” a masterclass in the flavors of Indian cookery. Originally born in Calcutta, Asma's journey into the culinary world was not straightforward. She initially pursued academia before moving to Cambridge in 1991 to join her husband. Her passion for cooking began mainly to combat homesickness. Asma's culinary career began in earnest in 2012 with a supper club in her home, evolving into a pop-up in a Soho pub and eventually leading to the opening of her restaurant, Darjeeling Express, in June 2017. Her restaurant 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 Asma, as home cooks. In addition to her restaurant, Asma gained recognition as the first British chef featured on Netflix's "Chef's Table." Her episode was part of the series' sixth season and nominated for an Emmy in the Outstanding Documentary section. Business Insider named her number 1 on their 2019 list of the "100 Coolest People in Food and Drink." Asma was also included in TIME 100 as one of the most influential people of 2024.

What I didn't expect was that through learning more about her, she would quickly become one my industry hero's and greatest inspirations. The moment Asma Khan starts speaking about her childhood in India, you're transported to a world of cricket games in the streets, wedding celebrations spanning entire months, and kitchens filled with the layered aromas of spices.

A group of 70 female chefs and hospitality professionals have signed an open letter calling out what they call the ‘pervasive' sexism in British kitchens. It's in response to chef Jason Atherton saying he had never seen sexism in the kitchen - he has since clarified his comments, saying that he wasn't denying the existence of sexism, just that he hadn't 'witnessed it personally. Anita is joined by chef and founder of the all-female kitchen Darjeeling Express, Asma Khan, and chef and founder of Tiella, Dara Klein, who helped write the open letter.The beloved 1995 film Clueless, inspired by Jane Austen's Emma, starred Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, and the late Brittany Murphy. Cher Horowitz is the most popular student at Beverly Hills High, renowned for her unique talent at finding love for others. Clueless the Musical has just opened at the Trafalgar Theatre in London. Anita discusses the adaptation and the story's enduring appeal with the original writer/director Amy Heckerling and multi-platinum singer-songwriter KT Tunstall who has written the score.Montage of clips from the 1995 movie, Clueless, written and directed by Amy Heckerling, produced by Scott Rudin and Robert Lawrence, production companies Robert Lawrence Productions, Scott Rudin Productions and distributed by Paramount Pictures.Amelia Price, a survivor of rape and assault by her ex-partner, has launched her own investigation into the Scottish justice system. Despite her attacker being convicted and sentenced to over four years in prison, the court refused to impose a non-harassment order (NHO) against him.

We essentially know two percent of all different disciplines and that kind of unknownness creates a very free playground for an artist to dance in or to draw in because we know we're going through a massive crisis. The world is ending. We see chaos. We see all of that but my personal hope as an artist remains in how little we know and how little we understand about our own selves, forget the dying large world and huge cosmos outside of our world that we know so little about. So I feel like my work has always celebrated unknownness. Just because we don't know it doesn't mean it's not there.I first met Asma Khan online, when she was an artist in residence and teacher at The Imaginarium a workshop run by the Wolf Willow Institute, which is a practice space for building our complexity muscles and aimed to bring what is known and unknown into a new inquiry, which is what much of Asma's work is about.I was mesmerized by Asma's work at this workshop. It literally brought me into another world. Asma is, among other things, a multidisciplinary artist working with painting, drawing, watercolors, collage, pen and ink, and digital drawing. Her practice explores complex natural systems, aiming to find spiritual symbology and feminine sensibility in phenomena like gravity, time-space, black holes, coral ecosystems, mycelium, and neural structures. Motivated by the mysteries of the natural world, Asma combines rigorous research with intuitive drawing to reveal connections between micro and macro systems. Living between Montreal and Karachi, Asma is committed to cross-cultural and interdisciplinary engagement. For example, her recent project, ‘Micro-frequencies for Prayer', supported by the Canada Council for the Arts and the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, created a series of prayer rugs using microscopy data to represent overlooked objects in domestic environments, highlighting their unseen complexity.During our conversation in her studio in Montreal, I asked Asma to describe some of her prayer rugs for me which I think you'll enjoy. You can see one in the episode photo.I also think you'll enjoy the way she talks about time. It really stretched my mind.There is large time, which is the time of God, the time of black holes, the time of the cosmos, and there is the time of man, which is a very limited time. If we look at our own history, our earth has gone through many extinction events. When we go through, and it's not even a matter of if, but when we go through an extinction. I feel like it's a good thing once again for us to check our egos. The dinosaurs went through it and we're going to have to go through it too and many other life forms have gone through extinction. I don't personally see it as a sad event. I see it as a necessary event  because it's small time. I feel like art is a vehicle that helps us get from small time to large time.I also appreciated her comment about art in crisis, which is a topic I will explore in season 6 of this podcast:If we want to truly be informed from our safe spaces, we really have to focus on the art and science that's coming from places of great discomfort and shifts because they're seeing it before we're seeing it.For further insight into her work, follow Khan's artistic journey on Instagram @asma.ahsan.khan.Asma recommended the following book and film: The Most Unknown filmCarlo Rovelli's work, notably White Holes  *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESHere is a link for more information on season 5.

Restaurateurs Asma Khan and Judy Joo share how food can bridge cultures and bring people together. Background:Food may be a universal experience, but the culinary world has a long patriarchal history. Throughout their own tenures in the industry, chef and philanthropist Asma Khan, who owns London's Darjeeling Express restaurant, and restaurateur and author Judy Joo, who operates the eatery Seoul Bird, faced a long line of roadblocks. At BoF VOICES, both shared how they struggled to find restaurant spaces, were talked over in meetings and consistently saw Western cuisines prized above all else.But it was through their respective journeys that Joo and Khan realised the depth of the relationship between food and politics, and how it can be used to help open people's minds. This week on The BoF Podcast, Khan and Joo discussed being women of colour in the male-dominated food world, as well as how food can be a vehicle for cross-cultural sharing and acceptance. “The more you learn about other cultures, you learn about tolerance, you learn about mindfulness, and you learn to respect each other more,” said Joo. Key Insights:After working in careers in law and finance, both Joo and Khan's passion for cooking pushed them to pursue careers in food. “I pursued a career in fixed income derivatives for about five or six years, and then I had an epiphany and I decided, you know, I can't chase a pay cheque anymore,” said Joo. “I really want to chase my passion… I just wanted to cook and eat. Patriarchal structures are reflected in the way the people eat, something Khan witnessed firsthand growing up. “I learned as a young woman in India that in our society, in every meal, women ate last, girls ate least, this was how it was,” said Khan.While hosting “supper clubs” out of her own kitchen, Khan more deeply understood how difficult it was to draw a line between food and culture. “I want to tell people you cannot take my food and separate culture from it. I won't let you eat it… You break bread with me. You have a conversation about my food,” said Khan. Though she — and her cuisine — have faced prejudice, Joo said Korean pop culture like “Squid Game” and “Money Heist: Korea” has opened more people's eyes. “Food is so often the entry point to learning about a new culture,” she said.

The London restaurant Darjeeling Express is the place to go for an outstanding mutton kebab, and for celebrity sightings. But the chef behind this hotspot has no formal culinary training. Asma Khan started her cooking career hosting secret supper clubs in her apartment, when her husband was traveling for work. Now she's staffed her restaurant entirely with women, all of whom learned to cook as housewives and nannies. As she tells Dan, her advocacy is driven by the pain she faced as the second daughter in her family, in a society that prized boys over girls. We also hear the unlikely story of how her restaurant was funded, why she will absolutely never put papadams in a tuna sandwich, and her new cookbook, Ammu.The Sporkful production team includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Johanna Mayer, Tracey Samuelson, and Jared O'Connell.

40 years ago the BBC broadcast a new TV cooking series called "Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cooking". It was a first, and showed audiences that Indian food did not rely on curry powder, and that dishes were different depending on what region of India they originated. But that's not all, the series and Madhur Jaffrey's subsequent books (she has written more than 30) had another effect; it made her a model for two generations of women with roots in India. Today Sheila Dillon meets some of those prominent and hugely successful female chefs, restaurateurs, food writers and stylists who are currently working in the UK, to find out about their lives, and what they make of Madhur Jaffrey's legacy. Asma Khan rose to fame when she was chosen as the first British chef to star in the Netflix series, Chef's Table. She runs her London restaurant, Darjeeling Express, with an all-female staff. Chetna Makan worked as a fashion designer in India before moving to the UK. She switched careers after making it to the semi-finals of the Great British Bake Off in 2014. She is now the author of 5 cookery books, and has more than 210,000 subscribers on YouTube. Ravinder Bhogal is a chef, food writer and author of two books. She also runs the London restaurant, Jikoni, which she describes as being “proudly inauthentic”. Romy Gill is a chef, broadcaster and food writer, and was one of the first Asian women in the UK to own her own restaurant. Rukmini Iyer is a food stylist and writer and the author of the bestselling "Roasting Tin" series of books. Sejal Sukhadwala is a London food writer.
