Stunning location photography, glorious food, warmth, personality and generosity suffuse the pages of this cookbook – join the Hoppers family in a personal and vivid journey exploring and celebrating the food from this extraordinary island. The buriani we’ve developed at Hoppers takes inspiration from some of our favourite south Indian and Sri Lankan versions but follows the more traditional method of layering and steaming par-cooked rice over a rich meat curry as opposed to boiling raw rice in the curry. Their NEW cookbook collates the most exciting recipes from across all their restaurants to bring these extraordinary flavours to your own kitchen. Serving up the best of Sri Lankan cooking, Hoppers: The Cookbook showcases signature recipes from the cult London restaurants, while also going beyond their four walls to explore the dishes, places and people that inspired them.

Hoppers: Recipes, Memories and Inspiration From Sri Lankan Homes, Streets and Beyond by Karen Gokani | 9781787138704. A beautifully crafted collection of heartfelt, wonderful recipesfrom one of the most exciting chefs and restaurants of the past few years. Born in Mumbai, India, nearly a thousand miles away from the island nation, he has an eye for what makes this food distinctive. We use Google Analytics to see what pages are most visited, and where in the world visitors are visiting from.I am originally from the area some of the recipes are bang on and others have regional/cultural differences that was I not aware of. Bought this for my partner who years ago visited Sri Lanka, he is always talking about the food and the great time spent staying with families rather than hotels. Even as a practicing solicitor, Karan’s passion for food and hospitality never faded and he spent time in professional kitchens in his spare time. To me it’s much more than a cookbook, it’s the story of Hoppers told through imagery, recipes and personal memories.

Karan's debut book, Hoppers: The Cookbook tells a personal story of the inspiration behind Hoppers and the people and places that shaped it, via recipes and stunning imagery. What a joy to have this beautiful book, so that I can jog great culinary memories, unlock the whys behind so much flavor, and savor my favorites at my own home table. The book is a freewheeling foray into the island nation’s food culture, with beautiful photographs shot on location in Sri Lanka, as well as favourite dishes from the restaurants themselves.It’s an easy, well-balanced one-tray supper but equally impressive when served with some sides as an alternative Sunday roast. The book celebrates both home cooking and the food served at roadside shacks, kitchens and stalls across Sri Lanka. For more details, please consult the latest information provided by Royal Mail's International Incident Bulletin.

The almost coffee-like dark roasted spice powder, balanced with the fat from the pork belly and smoky citrus from the goraka, are a match made in heaven. A glorious celebration of Sri Lankan food adorned with stunning photography, Hoppers takes readers on an unforgettable journey through the island’s rich culinary traditions, serving up a host of exciting recipes developed at the renowned eponymous restaurant.
