And now for something a little different for Recipe Weekend- a movie!

Synopsis:

Alice, a young and talented sous chef at NY's top restaurant, receives an invitation to judge a food competition for a prestigious annual fundraiser. Despite the dismay of Bret, her boss who is also her boyfriend, she accepts the invitation. Once she arrives in Kansas, Alice is surprised to find her former boyfriend in college, CHRISTIAN, is amongst the judges. The cooking show and her reconnection with Christian will make Alice reconsider her dream.

 Review:

You know when you watch a Hallmark or Lifetime movie, you can pretty much guess the entire plot in the first 10 minutes, but the actors are just so charming, that you just cant stop watching? Yup, this is one of those movies! It has some of my fav actors in it, and its simple charm makes it a great date night movie, that will definitely have you HUNGRY while watching all the great food being prepared and coming onto the screen! It may not be a 5 star movie, but it just might make you rethink everything Kansas City has to offer, tourism wise, and helps to rethink the 'only in New York' train of thought, when it comes to fine dining. It's also an example of doing what seems easy might not be actually what YOUR soul truly needs, and just because you have the same DNA, it doesn't mean the same things excite you. Fun movie to watch with teens as well, we recommend it..

Written by D.F.W. Buckingham and directed by Sandra L. Martin, the movie stars
