Lauren Hennessey has always loved to cook and is a proud perfectionist at her job at "Food & Entertainment Magazine's" test kitchen while she dreams of being able to finally afford culinary school in Paris. When her boss offers her a bonus if she agrees to ghostwrite the cookbook of a difficult celebrity chef, Lauren sees her dream becoming a reality as soon as she can tame the notorious bad boy chef in question, Dexter Durant. Slowly peeling back the layers of Dexter's tough-guy persona, she starts seeing a different, vulnerable side to this big-shot chef. Suddenly, their dueling culinary styles become the perfect complement in the kitchen and an attraction between them starts to boil over.

Reviews

Kirpianuscus Food. and love. and a story about trust, self definition, courage, decisions, self confidence and dreams and the team spirit. sure, romanticism. but in useful manner presented, with few inspired spices and good actors. and, more important, with a simple plot. charming, seductive, real nice. so, a reasonable modern fairy tale version.

Ian I hate cookery programs!But I love programs about food and artists and chefs (who are, after all, artists in their own, er, kitchen).If you've read any of my other reviews - which you probably haven't - you might wonder how I can score this 7 whereas other more, arguably, 'worthy' and ambitious movies score much lower.It's by Hallmark so you know what you're getting. It has no pretence. It sets out to do what it says on the tin and it does exactly that. There's no subterfuge. It doesn't try to be clever, misleading or something it's not. It's an enjoyable rom com and if that's what you want to watch, watch this - it won't leave you disappointed.

boblipton Over the past decade, comedies about chefs and cooks have become more common in the movies and the Hallmark Channel has created a few. In this one, we have another Hallmark romcom about a brittle, driven professional and a casual, inventive, uncertain genius -- but this time, it's the guy who's the brittle, unhappy professional and the gal who's casual and so forth.Well, hallelujah for that. Danielle Panabaker is awfully cute and able to project her vulnerability very well. Shawn Roberts offers a fine two-toned performance: control freak in the restaurant and barefoot in the country. Apparently no one bothered to talk with the script writer, because the dialogue makes reference to Miss Panabaker as being controlling.Well, occasionally, some subversion needs to go on to keep things fresh. Ron Oliver has gotten enough shots to make it visually clear that this takes place in San Francisco, the leads are good and the talking about food is intelligent. The result is more than good enough.

greerg2004 I really enjoyed this movie. The chemistry between the two leads was amazing. I loved the development of the romance due to a common interest. I find that many of the Hallmark romantic movies have characters back stories and story lines that are too unrealistic and contrived (falling in love in days, not seeing the obvious situations in front of them, the overacting, the unbelievable dialogue, etc.) This movie was not like that at all, which was refreshing. I felt invested with the characters; which kept me rooting for them, not only for their romance but also for their career success (which is what a movie is supposed to do).
