SAMA Festival: Hardeep Singh Kohli October 11, 2008

Indian Takeaway: One Man's Attempt to Cook His Way Home (Canongate) is the hilarious story of Hardeep's attempts to cook his way round India, dishing up traditional British meals for the people he meets along the way. He cooks up cock-a-leekie soup for Goan fishermen and Bollywood film crews, and treacle pudding for Bangalore call centre workers. Does Hardeep find the India he is searching for through his recipe book? Did he find himself along the way? Hilarious, strange and true, Indian Takeaway is a book for everyone who loves to cook, or longs to travel.
