Plot

Undemanding rom-com with Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) as a New York chef whose business is going down the toilet 'cos her culinary talents just can't match her dearly departed mother's. When she buys some crabs from a mystery man (Sean Patrick Flannery), she suddenly acquires a talent for making mouthwatering meals which communicate her emotions to the customer. (Surely not a blatant rip-off of "Like Water for Chocolate"?) When she works her magic on Flannery, it's the beginning of a maybe relationship which, naturally, runs far from smoothly.
