Happy New Year! Our first Seniors Book Club meeting in 2015 will be Wednesday, January 14th at 2:00 pm in Forsyth Hall. We will be discussing The Hundred-Foot Journey by Richard C. Morais.
About the book:
Follows the life journey of chef Hassan Haji, who progresses from his family’s modest restaurant in Mumbai to master haute cuisine in an elegant Parisian restaurant. “That skinny Indian teenager has that mysterious something that come along once a generation. He is one of those rare chefs who is simply born. He is an artist.” And so begins the rise of Hassan Haji, the unlikely gourmand who recounts his life in this novel. Lively and brimming with the colors, flavors, and scents of the kitchen, it is a succulent treat about family, nationality and the mysteries of good taste.
