Autorenporträt
HARDEEP SINGH KOHLI Glasgow-born and reared, with a Sikh family background, Hardeep originally studied law but became a BBC graduate production trainee. He turned to writing comedy drama after a variety of television work, and his first series was Meet the Magoons for Channel 4. A columnist for Scotland on Sunday, he has worked extensively for BBC Radio 5 Live, is a regular on The One Show, Front Row and Question Time, and often chairs Newsnight Review. His one-off documentary, In Search of the Tartan Turban for C4, was nominated for an RTS and won a BAFTA; a documentary series about contemporary Britain, Hardeep Does..., took a light-hearted look at subjects such as race, sex, religion and family; £50 Says You'll Watch This explored a personal passion - gambling. Another passion with writing is food - he was runner-up on Celebrity Masterchef 2006 - and both will come together in his first book, Can You Serve a Maharajah Haggis? (Canongate 2008). Hardeep Singh Kohli is a judge for

the 2008 Man Booker Prize.
Rezensionen
How deep is Hardeep's love of food? As deep as Loch Ness and as unfathomable as India. Indian Takeaway is a very funny and beguiling journey. Paul Whitehouse
