Isabella Oliveira (Penelope Cruz) is a sultry enchantress born with the special gift of melting the palates and hearts of men everywhere.

When she decides to break free from her rocky marriage and the stifling kitchen of her husband, Toninho's (Murilo Benício) restaurant in Brazil, she spirits off to San Francisco in pursuit of her dreams of a real culinary career.

After arriving into her new life, Isabella reunites with her exuberant, cross dressing childhood friend, Monica (Harold Perrineau Jr.) who joins Isabella's journey to discover not only her passion and potential, but the perfect recipe for coming out on top.
