Completely and utterly delightful, this feels like a breath of fresh air (fresh air with vibrant notes of sizzling, aromatic piquancy). Hassan’s family leave Mumbai and embark on a journey that finishes and then starts anew in France. So simply and gently told, yet so full of love, passion and intensity, Morais is able to paint a glorious picture as his words glide from the page.
Set in a beguiling world of food, chefs and restaurants this is a gorgeous read and easily gobbled up in one sitting.

A culinary war ensues, pitting Hassan's Mumbai-toughened father against the imperious Michelin-starred cordon bleu, until Madame Mallory realizes that Hassan is a cook with natural talents far superior to her own.
