Introduction

This tale of restaurant rivalry and a desperate quest for Michelin starts is beautifully told. From India to France, Richard Morais takes his caravanseria of eccentric characters and mouthwatering recipes on an unlikely journey. I have never experiences that most subtle of senses - smell - captured so well in print. The aroma of fine cooking just floats off the pages. Don't read this book if you're hungry. You might eat id." - Simon Beaufox, Oscar-Winning screenwriter of Slumlord Millionaire (from back cover)

We found the book full of information about the Indian life styles and foods. In addition we talked about the qualities that are innate in a 'chef' as opposed to a cook. There's are not only aspirations... (read more)
