Part memoir of growing up Asian in 70s South London, part travel-history and part an exotic meditation on the importance of food, Picklehead is a book like no other. When it's not making you laugh, it's making you think or making you hungry. And sometimes it's doing all three at once...
Inspired by a revelatory encounter with a jar of korma sauce in aisle seven of Sainsbury's, bestselling humorist Rohan Candappa sets off to discover how a second-generation immigrant like himself ended up eating own-brand curries. En route he uncovers his family's story, a
turbulent history that spans the green jungles of Burma, the spice markets of Ceylon, and
London in the 50s and 60s. It is an adventure as highly coloured
and mouth-watering as it is riveting.
From one of the UK's most successful humour
writers comes a funny, moving and insightful journey from the steamy kitchens of 70s suburbia to the exotica and drama of his family's past.
