Mathe has superb cooking skills and worked as a chef in a restaurant, but was pressured and troubled by work. Later, because of the death of her sister, she brought her niece to live with her. There was conflict between the two of them getting along. Leo, who also has good cooking skills, was hired to work with Mathe and was rejected by Mathe. However, after the two got along for a while, the relationship between Mathe and niece became closer. Finally, the three of them lived happily. Life.

The film has both romanticism and realism. The film realistically tells the pressure of a modern German woman from life, work, society, and family, and there is no shortage of romantic expressions of family affection and love.
The culinary art photography in this film is a major highlight. Vegetables and fruits of various colors are transformed into beautiful shapes under a sharp knife. The pot turned golden and steaming...The plot alone at least caught the audience's stomach even if they didn't catch the audience's attention, let alone a beautiful chef.
The heroine’s performance is in place, and her feelings are very good. For example, when she heard the bad news of her sister, her lips trembled slightly, her body twitched, and her heart was very painful but she tried to control her feelings; for example, when she came downstairs when she met her neighbor and turned back. Subtle feelings, etc.
The film adds a little comedy element to the usual stereotyped and rigorous style of the Germans, Leo’s humorous nature, and the actions of the neighbors downstairs teasing the children. In order to avoid the contradictory words and deeds of the neighbors, Mathe tasted precisely. These seemingly inadvertent humor broke the dull feeling brought by the psychological pressure of the hostess.
