Culture:
This film did an excellent job at portraying two different worlds of culinary arts which include the India and French cuisine. I was surprise out how different a chefs daily routine in a France kitchen versus a India kitchen and found it interesting to see how each kitchen operated. There is a very specific way a French chef must prepare meals, where as the The Indian approach to cooking is spontaneous and relaxed. The film does great job in educating the audience on both.
Indian Cuisine:
I love Indian food and it was nice learning about the different spice used create each cuisine. The movie does an outstanding job showcasing the diversity of flavors used.
Families Coming Together:
Both family are at war because each one feels their food is superior to the other. However the conflict is really because both family come from two very different cultures. Once the families begin to except each other differences they are able to achieve amazing things together.
