Description

Asma Khan is the chef and changemaker behind Darjeeling Express, the London restaurant powered by an all-female kitchen of home cooks. Born into Indian royalty but made to feel invisible, she rose from an uncelebrated daughter to become one of the most powerful voices in food - earning a spot on TIME’s 100 Most Influential People and captivating millions through her Chef’s Table episode. In this episode, Asma shares how she built a restaurant without formal training and uses her platform to honor the women who came before her. She opens up about her work with the World Food Programme and how she channels empathy, culture, and care into every dish. This conversation is a reminder that food can be power - and that one woman can change the world, one dish at a time.
