Synopsis

Hardeep Singh Kohli loves many things in life - but none more than food. He loves to eat it, he loves to cook it. So when he decided to travel round India in search of his roots, what seemed the obvious thing to take with him? Not a Lonely Planet guide. Not a BBC camera team. No! It was shepherd's pie and Yorkshire pudding. Indian Takeaway is the hilarious story of Hardeep's attempts to cook his way round India, dishing up very British meals for the people he meets. How will a Goan garage mechanic, a Delhi socialite or a Mysore hippie cope with fish and chips, or a Full English Breakfast? Will they survive to tell the tale? And will Hardeep find a kitchen to call home? Hilarious, strange and true, Indian Takeaway is a book for everyone who loves to cook, or longs to travel, or for anyone who wants to spend a few hours in the company of one singularly warm-hearted and entertaining man.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

HARDEEP SINGH KOHLI Glasgow-born and reared, with a Sikh family background, Hardeep originally studied law but became a BBC graduate production trainee. He turned to writing comedy drama after a variety of television work, and his first series was Meet the Magoons for Channel 4. A columnist for Scotland on Sunday, he has worked extensively for BBC Radio 5 Live, is a regular on The One Show, Front Row and Question Time, and often chairs Newsnight Review. His one-off documentary, In Search of the Tartan Turban for C4, was nominated for an RTS and won a BAFTA; a documentary series about contemporary Britain, Hardeep Does..., took a light-hearted look at subjects such as race, sex, religion and family; £50 Says You'll Watch This explored a personal passion - gambling. Another passion with writing is food - he was runner-up on Celebrity Masterchef 2006 - and both will come together in his first book, Can You Serve a Maharajah Haggis? (Canongate 2008). Hardeep Singh Kohli is a judge for the 2008 Man Booker Prize.
