SYNOPSIS:
Kate (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is the master chef at the trendy 22 Bleecker
Street Restaurant in Manhattan. She runs her kitchen at a rapid pace as
she coordinates the making and preparing of all the fantastic meals and
personally displays the food to perfection on every dish. She intimidates
everyone around her, so her boss sends her to therapy. Kate hates to leave
the kitchen when a customer wants to compliment her on one of her special
dishes, but she is ready to leave the kitchen in a second when a customer
insults her cooking. Kates sister is killed in a car accident and her nine-year
old daughter Zoe (Abigail Breslin) moves in with Kate. With all of Kates
problems, the boss hires a new chef to join the staff. Nick (Aaron Eckhart)
is a rising star in his own right and could be the head chef of another
restaurant, but he wants to work under Kate. Kate begins to feel threatened
by Nick, because he has a different style of running the kitchen. Nick
loves to listen to opera when he cooks and to make the staff laugh. With
all that is going on in Kates life, falling for a man is the last thing
she was looking for. There is some kind of chemistry between Kate and Nick
that can only go one way. Yet life will hit her in the head when Kates
boss offers Nick the head chef job.
