![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What’s interesting is that Richard Morais actually wrote the book with a full intention for his good friend Ismail Merchant to produce the film (Merchant died before this could happen). I actually watched the film (2014) first and fell in love with the story and ordered the book because I couldn’t get enough. The rest of the story line follows the struggles and successes of Hassan as he makes that “100-foot journey” across the street, falls in love and goes to Paris to pursue his dreams and eventually earn himself his own Michelin stars. Yet, despite her best efforts, Mallory realizes that the son of the Indian family, Hassan Haji, has incredible cooking talent and invites him to study classical French cooking under her watch. Madame Mallory of Le Saule Pleuruer does everything she can to undermine the nontraditional competition just across the street at Maison Mumbai. The story follows an Indian family as they move to France after some political troubles in their homeland and end up starting a Indian restaurant “100-feet” away from a renowned classic French restaurant, boasting two Michelin stars. Maybe like a book report in like 5th grade. I’m a pretty avid reader when I have the time, but it’s been a while since I’ve put down in word my thoughts about a book. Despite being busy these past few months, I did find some time to sit down and read The Hundred-Foot Journey by Richard C. I don’t know if I have ever written a book review. ![]()
