This is more than just a collection of delicious and accessible recipes, it is a celebration of heritage, culture, community and quality. Platters of dishes boasting texture and flavours encourage you to gather in the style of the traditional `dawaat' (feast).

Problematischer wird es bei den Gewürzen, nach Cassia-Zimt und indischem Lorbeer habe ich vergeblich Ausschau gehalten, dafür musste ich auf meine „normalen“ Vorräte zurückgreifen.Ein empfehlenswertes Kochbuch, das nicht nur mit indischen Kochtraditionen vertraut macht, sondern auch dem kulturellen Erbe der Autorin huldigt und uns die Vielfalt dieses Landes näherbringt. Asma is the first British chef to appear on Netflix's award-winning series Chef's Table (Season 6, February 2019). She also instructs in the judicious preparation of chili peppers to please both the timid palate and the fire-eater. In this book, Asma reveals the secret to her success, telling her immigrant’s story and how food brought her home. Windows users should also consider upgrading to Internet Explorer 11, Microsoft Edge, or switching to Firefox or Chrome.

Many of the recipes are vegetarian, there are sweet treats and drinks, too, and all feature alongside lesser-known recipes and stories unique to Asma's family.

And, despite having just received my copy, I know just how good many of these dishes taste, because they are genuinely the recipes Asma and her all-female team have been cooking and serving at her Darjeeling Express supperclubs, pop-ups and restaurant since it all began back in 2012.
