Description
Book SynopsisAs a boy, Hardeep Singh Kohli knew where home was: Glasgow. But everyone else always assumed he was Indian. Because surely he couldn't be British, with his brown skin and turban? Thirty years later, Hardeep sets out on a journey to discover where he is really from. His story is as hilarious as it is moving.
Trade ReviewHow deep is Hardeep's love of food? As deep as Loch Ness and as unfathomable as India.
Indian Takeaway is a very funny and beguiling journey. -- Paul Whitehouse
Touching . . . Kohli is observant, and he writes evocatively. * * Guardian * *
A chatty, funny book . . . the pleasure is in the journey. * * The Times * *
This is a sweetly written, immensely funny book from a man whose enthusiasm for food and friendship is infectious, a book that makes your mouth water and your feet itch at the same time. * * Daily Express * *
[Kohli's] book is less about food than about the experience of being mixed up - Glaswegian, Sikh and middle child . . . Amid all the comedy, he does have an important point to make . . . Food has become a cultural ambassador that has to perform the hardest tasks of diplomacy often under hostile or patronizing conditions. Kohli handles these negotiations with a distinctive and welcome aplomb. * * Times Literary Supplement * *
A warm and endearing memoir of personal and cultural discovery. * * Metro * *
