Credited with being the first New Zealander and the second female to direct an episode on the critically acclaimed Netflix series Chef’s Table, Auckland based writer-director Zia Mandviwalla is "breaking records and crushing it in the film industry,” noted a write-up in Miss FQ. The episode that premiered at the Berlin Film Festival’s Culinary Cinema Section on February 13, 2019, and was released on Netflix season six in New Zealand nine days later, portrays a British-Indian chef Asma Khan whose restaurant Darjeeling Express has become a London favorite.
