Asma's Indian Kitchen
Darjeeling Express began life as a dinner for 12 guests at home – Indian food, lovingly cooked from family recipes going back generations.

The bestselling Indian cookbook from Darjeeling Express’ award winning chef
Award-winning restaurant Darjeeling Express began life as a dinner party with friends; Indian food lovingly cooked from family recipes that go back generations. In this book, Asma's Indian Kitchen, Asma reveals the secret to her success, telling her immigrant’s story and how food brought her home.

This is more than just a collection of delicious and accessible recipes; it is a celebration of heritage, culture, community, and quality.
