About the Book
Curry Chaos Romance (A British Chef in Calcutta) is a nostalgic, flavour-rich journey through the life and memories of celebrated chef Shaun Kenworthy, blending storytelling, essays, food culture, and the beautiful chaos of Calcutta. Neither a conventional memoir nor a linear narrative, the book unfolds like a table filled with stories—each one served with warmth, humour, and a deep affection for the city.

Blurring the lines between fact and imagination, Shaun revisits the years that transformed him into what he calls a “first-generation, modern-day Anglo-Indian”—marrying a local girl, exploring India through its kitchens, and ultimately finding a sense of belonging in Calcutta. Along the way, he shares recipes, personal reflections, and delightful anecdotes that capture the essence of the city.

From jazz nights blending with jhalmuri to cabaret lights glowing over curry-filled evenings, Calcutta’s culture beats through every page. This book is Shaun’s heartfelt love letter to the city—its history, its theatre, its rhythm, and its uniquely chaotic charm. Readers are invited to open any page, pour a drink, and let the stories lead them through a world where food, memory, and romance intertwine.
