In the movie The 100 Foot Journey, Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is a culinary ingénue with the gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. Displaced from their native India, the Kadam family, led by Papa (Om Puri), settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France.
Filled with charm, it is both picturesque and elegant – the ideal place to settle down and open an Indian restaurant, the Maison Mumbai. That is, until the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin starred, classical French restaurant run by Madame Mallory (Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren), gets wind of it.
Her icy protests against the new Indian restaurant a hundred feet from her own, escalate to all out war between the two establishments – until Hassan’s passion for French haute cuisine and for Mme. Mallory’s enchanting sous chef, Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon), combine with his mysteriously delicious talent to weave magic between their two cultures and imbue Saint-Antonin with the flavors of life that even Mme. Mallory cannot ignore.
At first Mme. Mallory’s culinary rival, she eventually recognizes Hassan’s gift as a chef and takes him under her wing.
I’ve been part of the promotional campaign for the movie The 100 Foot Journey with Helen Mirren. Truly a classic for the years to come. As part of the influencer team, we were provided the recipes from the movie to try and to share with our reading audiences. Enjoy!

Debra,
I missed you in LA last week, as I opted for another event. But yes, I am going for the prescreening here, locally. I loved the movie from the promotional videos.
This sounds like a book my Mom would love. She loves everything French. It sounds like there would be quite a bit of high drama until the proof is in the French Onion Soup!
