A gorgeous novel, vivid and intimate, tracing a journey from
kitchen to kitchen, from culture to culture, with a perfect
touch.

food.

A well told and charming tale that explores our culinary
differences.
*London Evening Standard*
I thoroughly enjoyed the book... I thought the book was well
written, evocative and engaging. I read it in a matter of days and
didn't want it to end, enjoying the story as well as the little
insights and secrets of cooking traditional French dishes.
*Anjum Anand*
Delightful novel, a perfect summer read which spices the volatility
of human relationships with the sensuality of exquisite food.

For anyone who loves food, and who cares for character, the book’s
a banquet.

Morais’s research into both French and Indian cultures and cuisines
and into professional kitchens has clearly been rigorous, making
from a vivacious backdrop to an engaging tale of love and loss.
