Asma's Indian Kitchen: The bestselling Indian cookbook from Darjeeling Express’ award winning chef

Product Information

That’s not the end of it though, as she also launched Calcutta Canteen in Market Halls, Fulham Broadway this year and I’m confident there are more new projects to come soon. I always enjoy reading new cookbooks especially ones with personal stories that go along with the recipes. Recipes are divided into four Chapters – Feasts for Two, Family Feasts, Feasting with Friends and Celebratory Feasts. Khan divides her alluring recipes into feasts for two, family feasts, eating with friends, and celebratory feasts. 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.

I love how the text is laid out, the way that things are explained, and also the beautiful photography! But to keep ourselves on our toes, we have a rule that author gender is alternated, girl-boy-girl-boy, and the continents always rotated (with occasional glitches). A quick grind in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle, and these fragrant seasonings are ready to flavor the likes of mashed potatoes, sautéed eggplant, chopped carrots, cauliflower florets or butternut squash. Dabei verliert sie jedoch nie ein Ziel aus den Augen, das sie antreibt und aus ihrer persönlichen Geschichte resultiert. Platters of dishes boasting texture and flavours encourage you to gather in the style of the traditional `dawaat' (feast).I love fish curries and I've tried many over the last couple of years and this is the one I have been waiting for. The book begins with Asma’s introduction to this personal history, before discussing a number of techniques essential to elevate your Indian cooking, from the proper browning of onions. As such, her cooking covers a swathe of regional India, and looks to both royal feasts and simple street food.

Thanks so much for the intro and review of Asma’s cookbook – sounds like a wonderful addition to my collection as well. Since I read cookbooks like novels and Asma loves to tell stories, I think I need to pick up this book. In this book, Asma reveals the secret to her success, telling her immigrant's story and how food brought her home. Asma was voted 'Female Entrepreneur of the Year' at the Asian Restaurant Awards 2018, as well as 'Entrepreneur of the Year' at the Asian Women of the Year Awards. For all ebook purchases, you will be prompted to create an account or login with your existing HarperCollins username and password.Asma always wanted to share her family’s history and traditions though a cookbook, even back when she didn’t own – or want to own – a set of scales.

The book is more than just a collection of delicious and accessible recipes, it is a celebration of heritage, culture, community and quality.This piece has another purpose: to express deep pride in a longtime friend whom I’ve seen evolve from an at-home host with aptitude into a super-successful professional restaurateur who’s currently a bit of a darling of London’s culinary scene – with her very own episode of Netflix’s Chef’s Table in the pipeline to boot.
