2.5/5
This in an Epicurean epic about loving food, loving cooking and loving doing so for someone you love. There's nothing wrong with that but whether it needs to be served over eight courses is another question. Go to Full Review

The Taste of Things proves that there’s nothing more romantic than preparing a meal. It’s the sort of film where you just become enraptured by the process, the precision of Eugénie’s knife, the gentle glazing of the roast. Go to Full Review
