Synopsis

As a kid, Fiona McConnell helped her dad with his catering company on the streets of Los Angeles and dreamed of becoming a famous pastry chef. Fiona gets her opportunity when Julia Stone, her much admired boss at Lucien, one of the best restaurants in Los Angeles, fires both her head chef and pastry chef, allowing Fiona the chance to prove herself. Julia also hires legendary personality Liam Auclair as her new head chef and his objective is to earn what no restaurant in LA has ever accomplished: three Michelin Stars. On Fiona's first day as a pastry chef, she meets an upscale vintner named Rory Martin. Rory's passion for food, wine, and surfing is perfect for her—the boyfriend she's always dreamed of. But life, as it turns out, is not that simple.
