--Susan Orlean, author of "The Orchid Thief"
“A page-turner that captures the extent to which nostalgia and imagination are a part of the craft of cooking, while vividly conjuring the sights and smells of the kitchen. In "The Hundred Foot Journey" food isn’t just a theme, it’s a main character.”
--Tom Colicchio, Chef/ Owner Craft restaurants
"Outstanding! A completely engaging human story heavily larded with the lushest, most high-test food porn since Zola. Easily the best novel ever set in the world of cooking --and absolutely thrilling from beginning to end. I wished it went on for another three hundred pages."
--Anthony Bourdain, author of "Kitchen Confidential"
"In "The Hundred Foot Journey", Richard C. Morais conjures a richly-woven tapestry of exotic sights, smells and tastes that transports the reader to a world of epicurean delights. This is a charming, deeply felt novel that questions, and ultimately celebrates, the twists and turns of an authentically lived life."
--Elin Hilderbrand, author of "Barefoot"
“This tale of restaurant rivalry and a desperate quest for Michelin Stars is beautifully told. From India to France, Richard Morais takes his caravanserai of eccentric characters and mouth-watering recipes on an unlikely journey from the teeming streets of Mumbai to a quiet village in rural France. I have never experienced 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 it.”
-- Simon Beaufoy, Oscar-award winning screenwriter, "Slumdog Millionaire"
“Precise descriptive writing offers much to savor in this bouillabaisse of a first novel."
--Kirkus Reviews

--Kirkus Reviews
"Morais delves into a rich, imagery-filled culinary world that begins in Bombay and ends in Paris, tracing the career of Hassan Haji as he becomes a famed Parisian chef. From vibrantly depicted French markets and restaurant kitchens to the lively and humorously portrayed Haji family, Morais engulfs the reader in Hassan's wondrous world of discovery. Regardless of one's relationship with food, this novel will spark the desire to wield a whisk or maybe just a knife and fork."
