The 100 Foot Culinary Journey from Mumbai to St. Antonin: Exceptional Fusion Recipes You Couldn't Resist

The 100-Foot Journey is a 2014 film that brought together two diverse but delightful cultures and cuisines into one incredible visual feast set against the beautiful French countryside. This book celebrates Indian and French cuisines and cultures and occasionally melds the two in surprisingly delicious ways.

You will see the common thread that food stitches through all of us, from wherever we may come. At its core, food is a passion from the heart. And in this film, we see that loud and clear.

Expect lots of butter, cardamom, cream, quality local produce, and age-old cooking methods - some from inside a French kitchen and others outdoors or in the tandoor. French cooking methods are religious in their exacting details and rules. Indian cuisine can be more flexible. So how can these two seemingly diametrically opposing views meet halfway?

Chai spiced madeleines, ratatouille Tarte Tatin with chili, that famous omelet, apple Tarte Tatin with cardamom syrup, and a spicy red-wine poached pears recipe all prove that no matter how different we may seem to be, we are better when we work together and love life together.
