Fanis, a young Greek boy from Istanbul, has a grandfather who is a culinary philosopher and mentor who teaches Fanis that both food and life require seasoning with a touch of salt and ... A Touch of Spice. Fanis grows up to become an excellent cook, using his cooking skills to spice up the lives of those around him. Thirty-five years later he leaves Athens and travels back to his birthplace of Istanbul to reunite with his grandfather and his first love; only then does he realise that he has forgotten to put a little bit of spice into his own life.
