In "The Hundred-Pes Journey," out August 8th, Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) and his family are displaced from their native Republic of india. They settle a minor French town to open a eating house, but once the ice-queen proprietress of the French restaurant across the street, Madame Mallory, catches cumin-infused wind of information technology, she (Helen Mirren) gives them hell. That is, until they overcome their obstacles and stop upwardly ane large, happy, Franco-Indian family.

"Food can cantankerous cultural barriers and bring people together," says Juliet Blake, one of the producers of the movie, forth with Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey. "I so believe that."

Are French and Indian cuisines really then at odds? "If you become to Paris and you say, 'Take me to a dandy Indian restaurant!' they are very far and few between," says Blake. She felt it filming in the due south of France, too: Om Puri, who plays the head of the Kadam household, "is the most wonderful cook," says Blake, but "he would have to travel to Toulouse to buy his spices!"

Actors Dayal, though, and Charlotte Le Bon had lessons. "Before nosotros started shooting, they spent a considerable amount of time going to restaurants and observing and learning in kitchens," says Blake. "Manish was very diligent about learning to chop an onion correctly." To sign off on the nutrient featured in the film, Blake consulted Indian-born chef Floyd Cardoz, who knows a thing or two almost "fusing together two cultures through cooking."

That's exemplified in the recipe we share from the movie below. Beef Bourguignon, a archetype French dish, gets a makeover from Hassan once "he feels he's learning and making an bear upon" working at Madame Mallory's restaurant. "He decides introduce his own elements, adding some spice to things that are very traditionally French. It's an important turning bespeak."
