In honor of DreamWorks Pictures’ charming new movie THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY starring Helen Mirren, Food Network star Chef Bar Arneson was inspired to create 6 absolutely delicious dishes after she saw the film. You can find all six of these recipes below. I want to know what takes you home? The smell of baking pies? Cookies? Pizza? What smell takes you back and brings good and happy memories?
For me I guess it is fresh homemade apple strudel. My mom would make it a lot growing up. It is so dang good and I miss helping her. A fun tradition that tasted great.
In “The Hundred-Foot Journey,” Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is a culinary ingénue with the gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. Displaced from their native India, the Kadam family, led by Papa (Om Puri), settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France. Filled with charm, it is both picturesque and elegant – the ideal place to settle down and open an Indian restaurant, Maison Mumbai. That is, until the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin-starred, classical French restaurant run by Madame Mallory (Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren) gets wind of it.
Her icy protests against the new Indian restaurant a hundred feet from her own escalate into a heated battle between the two establishments until Hassan’s passion for French haute cuisine — and for Madame Mallory’s enchanting sous chef, Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) — combine with his mysteriously-delicious talent to weave magic between their two cultures and imbue Saint-Antonin with the flavors of life that even Madame Mallory cannot ignore. At first Madame Mallory’s culinary rival, she eventually recognizes Hassan’s gift as a chef and takes him under her wing.
“The Hundred-Foot Journey” abounds with flavors that burst across the tongue. A stimulating triumph over exile, blossoming with passion and heart, it is a portrayal of two worlds colliding and one young man’s drive to find the comfort of home, in every pot, wherever he may be.

The movie looks like a really good one, although some of the recipes are a little out of my comfort zone. I guess that may be a good reason to try some of them.
wow I have to try some of these!
This is a very good movie to go see. Made by Disney and a good family movie. I like watching cooking shows and movies and the recipes are amazing. I want to make a few of them!
