In a quaint English market town in the 1980s, Pauline Parry finds herself a divorced mother of two small children. A chance encounter leads her to a new life, one that begins in the most unlikely of places - a flat above a restaurant. There, she soon realizes her true calling as a culinary explorer, ready to embrace a passion for food that will guide her for life. But cooking isn't the only passion that Pauline discovers. As her professional rise takes her from Michelin-starred castle restaurants to California's famed Napa Valley, she's joined on the journey by Dennis, a handsome craftsman and confirmed bachelor - that is, until he meets Pauline.
