Visibility does not equal value ššš This
@AsmaKhanLondon moment from our
#ShineAway event last year left the room in awe.
To emphasize the often-unseen value of women in the cooking world, chef Asma Khan staffed the kitchen at her restaurant
@DarjeelingLDN with an all-woman team, many of whom are South Asian immigrants like Asma herself. Today, Darjeeling Express is an acclaimed hotspot, and her latest cookbook, "Monsoon: Delicious Indian Recipes for Every Day and Season," hit shelves this March.
Asma couldn't see the representation in cooking that she needed, so she became it ā and brought the talents and labor of other women to light alongside her own. At
#ShineAway's
#ASeatAtHerTable panel, Asma encouraged the audience to do the same āļø
Leave a š in the comments if you're inspired by Asma's words ā and if you became something you couldn't see, we'd love to hear your story, too š
