Food, Family, Culture, Globalization, Fairy Tale

Another gem from Lasse Hallstrom--much in the same vein as Chocolat, in my opinion. A beautiful, light-hearted film about the love of food and cooking, the love of family, and the often surprising rewards that come from curiosity, determination, and sharing. I needed to eat Indian food after watching this film and really wanted to stroll through the markets of a small French village, too. Thoroughly enjoyable story.
