I very much enjoyed The Hundred-Foot Journey by Richard C. Morais, a debut novel initially set in India. Following Partition, a very poor Muslim eventually makes his fortune and his family owns a popular restaurant. Due to certain circumstances, the family moves to England and then they travel around Europe, eventually settling in provincial France. One of the sons, Hassan, proves to be an exceptional chef and he eventually makes his fortune and reputation in Paris. The author would like to see his book made into a movie and I hope that happens. Delightful! 4/5
