Description
The Hundred-foot Journey is the story of Hassan Haji, a boy from Mumbai who embarks, along with his boisterous family, on a picaresque journey first to London and then across Europe, before they ultimately open a restaurant opposite a famous chef, Madame Mallory, in the remote French village of Lumière. A culinary war ensues, pitting Hassan’s Mumbai-toughened father against the imperious Michelin-starred cordon bleu, until Madame Mallory realizes that Hassan is a cook with natural talents far superior to her own… Hassan's charming account lays bare the inner workings of the elite world of French haute cuisine, and provides a life-affirming and poignant coming-of-age tale.

"Now a major motion picture starring Helen Mirren and Om Puri. ‘A culinary 'journey' from Mumbai to Paris.’ THE INDEPENDENT ‘Morais’ research into both French and Indian cultures and cuisines […] has clearly been rigorous, making from a vivacious backdrop to an engaging tale of love and loss.’ TIME OUT"
