Last week, our mission partner The Hundred-Foot Journey and acclaimed Vancouver restaurateur Vikram Vij suggested you complete this week’s mission by celebrating Indian- and French-influencd cuisine. Here are some Gastroposters who took that inspiration to heart. The Hundred-Foot Journey stars Helen Mirren and opens Aug. 8.
YOUR NEXT MISSION:
Todd Jacobs @simplydelish14 Butter chicken
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 the ingredients themselves!).

MISSION INSPIRATION: LOOK FOR FRESH MARKET INGREDIENTS 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.” © 2014 DreamWorks II Distribution Co., LLC.
