John Hartl Seattle Times 02/22/2008
2.5/4
As long as it's whimsically celebrating the ambiguous joys of cooking, writer-director Michael Hofmann's movie has charm and a sweetness verging on the tart. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 03/16/2007
2/5
An amiable, but underpowered and sentimental film. Go to Full Review Tom Dawson BBC.com 03/16/2007
2/5
The solid performances from Ostendorf and Roche can't disguise the awkward tonal shifts contained in the final stretches of this sentimental story. Go to Full Review Bill White Seattle Post-Intelligencer 02/22/2008

Like Beauty and the Beast, Eden is a fairy tale about impossible love, but this beast, instead of a noble soul, has an insatiable appetite. Go to Full Review Boyd van Hoeij european-films.net 04/02/2007
Two touching performances only partially compensate for a weak script that never seems interested in challenging the superb Bella Martha (Mostly Martha). Go to Full Review Film4 Staff Film4 03/16/2007
3/5
A succulent yet chaste love story which leaves a pleasant enough taste, but you might not be inclined to tip. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

02/20/2013 Dull and depressing. See more 07/04/2011 I love when quirky people find each other. See more 01/03/2011 Geweldige film als je van eten houd!! See more 10/22/2010 Charlotte Roche (best known for her scandalous novel "Wedlands" and her amazing skills as an interviewer) is a waitress, who starts an awkward relationship with a cook. It is all about the delicious food for her, but soon becomes more for the cook. He starts to fall for her and hell breaks loose when her husband finds out. Sadly Charlotte's acting skills are not very brilliant, the story is predictable and boring and I couldn't believe that the dishes were terrific enough to cause all the troubles. This movie reminded me of Sebastian and his Spaghetti Bolognese-surpise for his girlfriend: <div style="width:120px;font-size:10px;text-align:center;"></div><a href="http://www.flixster.com/videos?videoId=11126747"><img src="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/mFxSrZ7WE2I/2.jpg" border="0" /></a><div style="font-size:10px;width:120px;text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com"> See more 11/21/2009 Yo quiero cocinar asi...
