As part of the prize, I got 2 in season passes to
The 100 Foot Journey,
so to find out what the hype was all about,
caught the movie as soon as possible.
Glad to say, we thoroughly enjoyed the movie,
for its scenery, story and the recipes hahaha.
"an Indian family opens a restaurant across the street from a Michelin-starred French restaurant "
this is the premise of the movie.
The Michelin-starred restaurant is 100 foot away from the Indian Restaurant, literally!
I got all my pictures from the BVI facebook :

Escape to the South of France with Academy-Award winner Helen Mirren.
When the Indian family got stranded Marguerite brought them in and served them visually appealing food on a giant tray like this
Hearty, colourful food that she made, grew and plucked herself!!
something like this: someone had a lunch inspired by the above!
Of course, Le Cordon Bleu features prominently in the movie
It is based on a novel by???? I forgot!!!
ok,ok, here it is....
book tie-up with the movie
Om Puri as the quirky, sometimes silly and impractical father
Manish Dayal as the gifted cook/chef who married Indian and French cuisine
Dame Helen Mirren as the haughty but nice owner of the Michelin starred restaurant
and Charlotte Le Bon as Hassan's love interest and rival
The movie is full of cliches and quotable quotes like theses:
In my kitchen we cook with class, and her restaurant is patronised by ministers on Bastille Day.
Food is Memories, because Hassan lost his mother and is transplanted from his hometown.
Are you ready to explore the South of France
with outdoor cafes like this
and woods like this
The omelette that he got Madame Mallory to make because he injured both his hands
Oprah Winfrey chose the book and the story, Steven Spielberg produced/directed the movie
with two big names like that, you can expect an epic movie
Food and recipes from the movie, I have a post dedicated to these...!!!
Indian spices readily available in Malaysia too
They work in Le Cordon Bleu kitchen, I read that these two had to actually observe and practise in real kitchen before they could act as chefs in one
Hassan serves gourmet fish
veloute, Espagnole, bachamel, hollandaise, tomato
can you identify the above 4 sauces mentioned in the movie?
After watching the movie you will be craving Indian food and
French food, in fact any food, because I am hungry now!!!
