Asma Khan, Beyond The Food

Here’s a good thing you need to know: Asma Khan is a chef who owns an all-female run kitchen called Darjeeling Express, a restaurant in London's Soho and sits on the London Mayor’s Business Advisory Board. You might have heard of her from as one of the figures profilled from the sixth season of the documentary series Chef's Table, where she discusses her journey from law to culinary. Asma Khan joins us to talk about her journey in cooking and in being a voice of women empowerment, as well as her commitment to ending the toxic kitchen culture that has long plagued the industry.
