Join chef and owner of Darjeeling Express Asma Khan, as she celebrates the release of her new book Ammu.

“There is something universal about food memories – they linger somewhere hidden in your soul. Just as the sounds of raindrops, the lyrics of a song, or the feel of a fabric can transport you to another world, so with food. The memories flood back. They take you home.”

Ammu is a delicious collection of childhood recipes that celebrates the power of home cooking and the inextricable link between food and love. Join Asma in conversation, as she discusses the healing power of food, and how during the past two years she has used food to bring back the comfort of loved ones far away.

From the simple comfort food of her childhood in Calcutta, including Ammu’s Chicken Biryani, and Sikandari Raan, a spiced leg of lamb her Ammu fed her before her wedding day, to Chapatis and Ma’s Prawns, Asma will explore dishes she craved and learned to cook when she first moved to the UK and was uprooted from her family.

With over 100 recipes to bring warmth and joy into your kitchen, this promises to be an affirming, joyous evening, as Khan pays tribute to the cooking of her mother, or Ammu, with a selection of divine dishes.
