About this deal

It is a tribute to Ammu, Asma’s mother, to the simple home cooking from her kitchen in Calcutta, and an exploration of the inextricable link between food and love. Some made India their home, the Mughals who came in lived for generations in India and ended up marrying women from India and their contribution was huge to the cuisine, Mughali cuisine is a very significant part of Indian food, but today there's a lot of divide and rule and food is used as a weapon to divide people.

Many of the dishes are traditionally Bengali, though some come from elsewhere in India, such as aloo mattar sabzi, potatoes with peas, which comes from neighboring Uttar Pradesh, where Khan's father was raised. I think everybody should look at the legacy you can leave, and also that we need to be on the right side of history. There weren’t many ingredients in this and it was really easy to make, so I was blown away by how flavoursome it was.

There are enough of us in positions of power and strength, and I think instead of just focusing on building our own careers, unfortunately you do still have a lot of women who throw away the ladder when they reach wherever they want to be at the top, we really need to clear the pathways for the generation coming after us. Asma Khan: He isn't, and the thing is that a lot of people misunderstand this as his resentment or jealousy or whatever of what's happened in my life.

Once I made a start on using this new cookbook I could not put it down for days and while I have now made a number of recipes from Ammu there are many dishes I am itching to try. If our taste buds are inherited, Asma Khan is definitely lucky, for her mother Faizana Khan or Faizu Apa as she is better known, knew what brilliant recipes were all about. A] sumptuous salute to her Indian heritage with recipes and stories … Khan’s menus, technical guidance, and soulful stories make this outing a pleasure every step of the way.

Apart from the fact the first time you discover that they have an accent that is different from you, their food tastes tend to be different. It feels slightly counter-intuitive to me, I tell her, to figure out how a dish is made, especially one cooked by our mums because they never seem to care to measure anything.
