Love's Kitchen (2011)
Better than 3 stars out of 5
As a foodie rom-com, it checks all the boxes. The chemistry between the leads is unsurprisingly good, the secondary romance isn't a major storyline but does help develop those characters, there are some real laugh-out-loud scenes.
That said, rom-coms are often much of a muchness, and this isn't quite good enough (to me) to be best in class.
The American title for this film isn't an improvement on 'No Ordinary Trifle', which is the signature dish of the male lead. The reactions of everybody who eats the eponymous dish are varied, but all the actors made me hungry, which is more than I can say for most non-fictional food television.

Ignore most of the reviews and ratings here, because they are pretty silly.
About two thirds of the votes are currently roughly equal for 10, 2 and 1 (all 20+), with votes from 3-9 essentially in the 4-7 range. It isn't that good, it isn't that bad. It's pretty mediocre, but watchable if you like plot twists and there is nothing better on.
To everybody who voted 1 or 2 to plummet the rating, shame on you. To the silly people who submitted the glowing reviews, shame on you thrice.
To those that haven't seen it yet, give it a chance on TV if you don't have many choices. But don't bother recording or renting. 5/10.
