In truth upon seeing the title, I thought a movie about cooking. WRONG! This is really a story of enduring love. When two lovers are divided only one thing joins them. The answer to one question. That answer will come in a single bowl of stew.

This starts a one reporters search for answer about a murderer, but it quickly changes. As the reporter discovers that the murderers end was caused by a bowl of stew. Through out his search for this incredible stew, he soon learns about the lovers. The deeper he looks the more he discovers not only about the uniqueness of this stew but of the power of true love.

I really don’t want to say too much about this movie. Simply put, it is a moving story that the cook and lover in all of us will truly enjoy..
