This well-made and entertaining romantic comedy drama provides ample proof that German writer-director Sandra Nettelbeck can turn out a classier commercial feature than most of her Hollywood contemporaries.
October 16, 2014 | Full Review… -
Though utterly predictable, this kitchen-set romantic comedy about a severe German woman and a fun-loving Italian cook, has a certain charm, and it's about food, which speaks well for commercial appeal.

Nettelbeck serves the tastiest film about food and sex since Big Night.
October 2, 2002 | Rating: 1/4 -
Nettelbeck has given the viewer a genuine catharsis and a cinematic meal that isn't perfect -- but is all the better for it.

Feb 17, 2008An intriguing movie. Martha is a chef in a upscale restaurant when one day she gets several surprises. Her sister tragically dies in a car accident while on her way to see her, and now must raise her eight year old niece Lina. Her boss hires an Italian sous-chef, and now must share the kitchen and all other responsibilities. On the suggestion of her boss, she sees a therapist weekly in hopes that she can curb and manage her anger. Martha must now accept the changes in her life. Great cast- Martina Gedeck, Sergio Castellitto, Maxime Foerste, August Zirner, Sibylle Canonica, Katja Studt, and Ulrich Thomsen. Worthy!Leo L Super Reviewer
