The Movie: A workaholic New York chef (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is a perfectionist in the kitchen, and has no life outside the restaurant. After her sister’s death, her life changes when her nine-year-old niece, Zoe (Abigail Breslin), moves in with her. During her absence from the kitchen a new sous chef, Nick (Aaron Eckhart) is brought in to the annoyance of Kate, who has a very different style in the kitchen. Their lives all change when Zoe begins coming to work with Kate, and Kate warms up to Nick.
