Critics' reviews
- "Though utterly predictable, this kitchen-set romantic comedy about a severe German woman and a fun-loving Italian cook, has a certain charm, and it's about food, which speaks well for commercial appeal."
- "Nettelbeck serves the tastiest film about food and sex since 'Big Night'."
- "Nettelbeck has a particularly lovely sense of behind-the-scenes restaurant choreography."
- "It has the elegance associated with haute cuisine, so it rises a level above your typical Hollywood chick flick."
- "It's a drag how Nettelbeck sees working women -- or at least this working woman -- for whom she shows little understanding."
- "Gedeck is simply terrific in the title role."
