A great and fun read. Morais writes with style of the tale of a young Indian boy who becomes a three-star chef in Paris. Hassan Haji began his early years in Mumbai, until his family uproots and moves to Lumiere, a small town in the French Alps.
Haji's father begins a new restaurant, soon to realize his enemy is the the owner of an upscale French restaurant,
Madame Mallory. After much culinary competition between the two chefs, Madame Mallory finally agrees to mentor young Hassan into the culinary world.
The story is a delightful read, has much related to the culinary world. Even if a person isn't a great chef, he can still enjoy the charming writing of this author.
