your mission completed: East, West & Fusion

Last week, our mission partner The HundredFoot Journey and acclaimed Vancouver restaurateur Vikram Vij suggested you complete this week’s mission by celebrating Indian and French cuisine. Here are some Gastroposters who took that inspiration to heart. The HundredFoot Journey stars Helen Mirren and opens Aug. 8.

Last week, we challenged you to share a meal declaring your ultimate food allegiance between the cuisines of the West and East — or in the case of fusion, both. Twitter handles are in blue and Instagram in brown. Nimu

your next mission: Great Ingredients As experienced cooks will tell you, a delicious dish is the product of great ingredients. Make it your mission this week to celebrate this fact by sharing a meal built from the best parts — or just show the Gastropost community the beautiful ingredients themselves. Perhaps you’ll share bright produce from the farmers’ market. Or maybe you’ll pay a visit to a restaurant that takes pride in cooking only what’s fresh. Others will reach into the cupboard and show us that magic shelf ingredient they can’t cook without.

This week and next, Gastropost has partnered with the upcoming film The Hundred-Foot Journey and acclaimed Vancouver restaurateur Vikram Vij to bring you inspirations that will whet your appetite for the movie’s celebration of Indian and French cuisine. The film’s vivid depictions of market-fresh French ingredients echoes Vikram’s dedication to visiting Vancouver’s markets personally to find the best ingredients, as has been the practice in France and Asia forever. “I still go and shop for the best of ingredients out there,” he says, because as a chef he has an artist’s perfectionism. “Cooking is meant to be a form of art.”
