The timeline of Darjeeling Express isn’t necessarily an unconventional one. A talented chef begins doing supper clubs, they unsurprisingly take off in popularity and said chef goes on to set up a permanent, bricks and mortar restaurant. But it is not Asma Khan’s journey that makes her, and by extension, her restaurant, so special - it’s the story behind Darjeeling Express and who Khan is as a person that sets it out from the rest.
Khan took time out her busy schedule to talk to us about her unique journey ahead of her appearance at the first Santa Fe Literary Festival being held in May. Along side Khan, other high-profile authors such as Margaret Atwood, John Grisham, Asma Khan, and Jonn Krakauer, add to the significant depth and breadth of the line-up of the festival.
