THE HOPPERS RESTAURATEUR Karan Gokani
OPEN-FIRE MAGIC
Karan Gokani grew up in Mumbai before moving to the UK to pursue a short-lived career as a lawyer. His real passion was always food.

Karan has been cooking at home on a Big Green Egg for several years. He loves the versatility it offers and the sense of control. The flavours it creates, he says, are like “someone lighting a fire in autumn down your street and you being able to smell it when you come outside”.

Vibrant Thai flavours
