Rob Haley je vzpenjajoči se kuhar iz Londona, ki je po smrti svoje žene povsem na tleh. Na pobudo svojega prijatelja se odloči, da bo s pomočjo resničnostnega TV-kuharja Gordona Ramseyja zanikrn podeželski pub spremenil v gurmansko restavracijo. Ker gre očitno ljubezen skozi želodec, s svojimi dobrotami kmalu osvoji tudi lepo ameriško kulinarično kritičarko Kate, ki obišče njegovo gostilno.
Rob Haley (Dougray Scott), an up-and-coming chef and restaurateur in London, is grief-stricken when he loses his wife. With encouragement from his infamous friend and real life TV Chef Gordon Ramsay, Rob decides to spice up his life by turning a run-down country pub into a gourmet restaurant. His food catches the eye - and taste buds - of beautiful American food critic Kate Templeton (Claire Forlani) and they soon both write a recipe for love that leaves both their hearts - and their stomachs - in full.
