Alice is a sous chef at a top restaurant in New York and is also in a relationship with the restaurant's chef and owner, Bret. As sous chef, however, she is not allowed to develop her own style, but must follow the recipes. When, somewhat surprisingly, she receives an invitation to be a judge in a cooking competition, she chooses to go to it instead of accompanying Bret to one of his events. At the competition, she reconnects with Christian, with whom she went to cooking school. His aunt is the one who organizes the competition and he is also the judge.
I gave this movie a poor rating but raised it a bit after skimming it again. Perhaps there was a reason for the original rating that I have now suppressed.
