About the book:-
Kalam, once a kathua, by caste a spinner of yarn, discovers quite by accident that he has a gift for concocting the most delicious recipes - a gift that he passes on through very careful training to his son Kamal. But the vindaloo that Kamal perfects, that his employer - the very Angrez-loving bureaucrat - blesses him for creating each time he tastes it is very much Kamal's own creation. Yet, neither Kamal nor Pakwaan, his son (who is slapped into learning the intricacies of cooking the dish, know where this magical recipe will take them. The promised land of possibilities across the seas, the great US-of-A, awaits in all its seductive glory - but will the shrink-wrapped, cold-storaged Vinthelieux, the Frenchified vindaloo palatable to white consumers of all things exotic, be the end of Pakwaan's sweet dreams of success and more...? A rollicking ride through a century's worth of history, Gone with the Vindaloo follows the lives, times and exploits of three generations in a family of cooks. Delightfully subversive and consistently irreverent, this many-layered debut serves up imperialism, consumerism and packaged food in a whole new light.


About the Author: Vikram Nair
Vikram Nair became an entrepreneur because no one would employed him. An immigrant with a difference (one of the few who didn't 'make' it), he has spent the last fifteen years working on a novel.Vikram Nair is a post-graduate in History from Delhi University. He has been self-employed for most of his life and is, in fact, a serial entrepreneur of sorts because not many people agreed to employ him. Presently, he is the promoter and CEO of a chain of Indian restaurants, Khaaja Chowk, which goes by the byline ‘Full Full Indian’. Vikram and his wife, Shefali (the woman of his dreams, for the most part), are thrilled grandparents of Amaan, aged two. Gone With the Vindaloo is Vikram’s first novel.
