In India, Tilo has the ability to foresee the future. When her parents are killed by bandits, she is kidnapped but escapes and is raised by the First Mother in a sort of traditional cult of spices. She becomes the Mistress of Spices and is sent to the Spice Bazaar in San Francisco, with the mission of following three basic rules: help her clients to accomplish their desires with the spices, but never hers; never leave the store; and never be touched in the skin. When she meets the handsome American architect Doug, she feels a great attraction and desire for him, breaking the first rule and being punished by the spices.
The Mistress of Spices
An immigrant in San Francisco brings Indian magic with her through spices. To keep the magic, she must never leave the spice store or touch another's skin. One day, a handsome architect bachelor enters her store.
