About the Author
Ashia says, ‘My recipes tell a story, my story, one that I love sharing. I am of Indian heritage, but I was born in Malawi, Africa. Political instability caused my family to move to the UK when I was in my teens and then later, I moved to this amazing country New Zealand. My passion is food and I love sharing my love of cooking and writing and especially my style of cooking, which blends East and West and all the countries I have lived in.’
Prior to publishing her first cookbook My Indian Kitchen, Ashia regularly contributed to the food pages of New Zealand House & Garden magazine.
