the business of wedding cakes. Psychology
runs deep as Claire assesses the needs of her
bride-to-be clients through cake tastings,
discovering flavours that momentarily make
them forget about life’s problems, bring
back pleasant family memories, and even
bring a small town mystery to light when
an antique wedding ring unexpectedly
resurfaces in her bakery.
The Hundred-Foot Journey
by Richard C. Morais (2010)
Across cities and continents, we follow
Hassan on a global journey starting in India
and ending in France, with a short stay in
England in between. All the while Hassan
does not know what
he is looking for,
only knowing that
the aromas and
flavours of the
family restaurant
from his
childhood have
shaped who he
is. When his
father opens a
new restaurant
in France,
the culinary
culture of
India takes
on French cuisine in a bitter
restaurant rivalry, and Hassan takes a
hundred-foot journey that changes his life
forever; physically, it is a short distance
between
two different
restaurants in
the same town,
but ethnically,
the gap is
enormous.
Other French
chefs begin to
notice that Hassan is a natural born chef
with “the culinary equivalent of perfect
pitch” and his destiny is intertwined with
haute cuisine, Bombay street food, and
Michelin stars.
