The Hundred-Foot Journey (PG 122 min.) is being shown at the Mattapoisett Council on Aging, CoA Senior Center, Center School, 17 Barstow St., on Tuesday, January 27 at 12:00 noon. The free movie is sponsored by the Friends of the Mattapoisett CoA.
The Hundred-Foot Journey is a film about the cross-pollination between French and Indian cuisine. Papa Kadam, the patriarch of an Indian family, has been in the restaurant business for generations. He and his four children arrive in a small town in the south of France and set up Maison Mumbai. The smell of their spices and the sound of their music offend the sensibilities of Madame Mallory. She is proprietress of a venerable Michelin-starred establishment just 100-feet across the street.
The focus is provided by Mr. Kadam’s son, Hassan. He is a gifted and handsome cook, who exchanges recipes with Marguerite, a sous-chef in Madame Mallory’s restaurant. She lends Hassan classic French cookbooks, and he cross-pollinates their tried-and-true recipes with flavors and techniques from back home.
