Back in Brooklyn, Loren works at his Italian-Irish family's pizza parlor and then heads for France to study with his idol, chef Louis Boyer (Eddy Mitchell). After the death of his wife, Boyer raised his daughter Gabrielle (Irene Jacob), now a successful restaurant architect engaged to physician Vincent (Thibault de Montalembert). Gabrielle and Loren compare recipes and finally choose romance from their menu, while Boyer begins to cave in from the stress of tax problems, restaurant critics, and police seeking illegal foreign workers.

Good balanced movie. November 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Although this movie dates already back to some while ago and in the meanwhile many cookery shows have been broadcasted, as also some movies were on show that were about the kitchen, this movie really makes a good effort in showing what a star-kitchen would be like. There is some good action involved, the stress in a kitchen is represented pretty good as also the atmosphere among the cooks. Moreover there is some romance and some drama involved, including hilarious moments. When you like food, the kitchen or anything related to both, you definitely need to watch this one.
