review 1: Abandoned after first few chapters. For me, he simply wasn't succeeding on any level. Not as memoir, not as travelogue, not as foodie. And I found the idea of going to India to cook British food for Indians to be completely pointless...confirmed after the first time he cooked for a restaurant staff at a five-star resort. It might have been a great story, but the telling was so dull and lackluster that it made me give up on him as someone I wanted to follow on a journey.
review 2: Kohli's questions of identity as a british Indian gives him a reason to explore India from the south, criss-crossing between eastern and western coasts till he reaches the northern town of Srinagar. As a self-confessed foodie he takes his knowledge of culinary skills and makes friends,... more and meets old buddies along the way. i enjoyed his toungue in the cheek v english humour and wry observations, but this is no big literary genius and Kohli's take on identity will seem somewhat irrelevant in a rapidly multicultural britain and globalised world. less
