Voices At The Table is a series of curated evenings of readings and performances around food, bringing together an eclectic mix of voices across the literary, performance and food worlds.
For our 9th event of the series we’re heading to Soho for a Sunday lunch at Asma Khan’s wonderful restaurant Darjeeling Express – soon to be featured on Netflix’s Chef's Table. Asma will be the first British chef to be featured on the programme.
Along with an incredible line up of talented writers, chefs and performers, the afternoon will include Cobra beers, Nonsuch shrubs and delicious dishes from Asma’s debut cookbook Asma’s Indian Kitchen.
