This movie was a pleasant surprise. Not loud, overstimulating, nor at a fast pace. It was done beautifully, even made me want to cook. The setting, preparation of fresh foods , techniques were very interesting. Wish we did it that way today. The characters were each cast well. The love was palpable between the chefs, but, better than most because it was subtle. The young Pauline was a reminder that we can experience our unique gifts early in life. I left feeling happy and peaceful.... quite a contrast to feelings after most movies today!!! I loved it! There was no conflict!!!!
