Richard C. Morais
Richard C. Morais is a financial journalist and novelist best known as the author of the bestseller The Hundred-Foot Journey, a culinary novel that follows the life of an Indian chef as he conquers the rarified world of French haute cuisine. In 2014, Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey released The Hundred-Foot Journey as a film starring Helen Mirren and Om Puri.
His novel The Man with No Borders is the story of an aristocratic Spanish private banker living in Switzerland and coming to terms with his life.
