About the Author
Karan Gokani grew up in Mumbai and came to England in 2005 to study law at Cambridge. In 2012 he left his career as a solicitor to move back to India and focus on food and cooking. He returned to England and opened the first Hoppers in 2015 with the Sethi siblings, founders of JKS Restaurants. Always looking for the next excuse to visit Sri Lanka, Karan's obsession with the tiny island country began in 2009 where he met his first Sri Lankan friends at university. The book is an ode to Sri Lankans, their warmth, hospitality, love and, above all, a very personal and subjective story of their food through the Hoppers lens.
