    Hoppers: The Cookbook: Recipes, Memories and Inspiration from Sri Lankan Homes, Streets and Beyond

    I was excited to see this book! I love Sri Lankan food, with its variety and rich flavors. I'm grateful to the author for sharing her family's recipes and explaining their importance to Sri Lankan culture. The book is beautifully photographed and gives a great overview of the recipes and stories about the Hoppers restaurants she runs in London.

    This is the official cookbook of Hoppers, a Sri Lankan restaurant chain founded in 1996 by Karan Gokhale. This book is filled with recipes that are authentic, easy to make, and taste great. I love reading the stories behind each recipe and following along on the journey of how Hoppers came to be.
