Hassan was born in Bombay, in his grandfather’s home, who ran his own restaurant. This lean Indian boy has something that you’ll find among cooks only once in an entire generation. He’s a born culinary artist. An artist. A great artist!
Richard C. Morais’s gripping novel is a vivid, aroma- and fragrance-filled tale of the mysterious gift of true taste. It’s the story of Hassan Haji’s professional ascent—by fate, ending up in France—and his climb to the heights of culinary art.
