Cooking My Way Back to Love

Leon Kennedy once stood at the top of the culinary world, but grief after his wife’s death has left him homeless, with only his dog, Dante, by his side. A restaurant owner gives him kitchen work without knowing the history behind the reserved newcomer. As Leon presents a chrysanthemum-shaped tofu dish, his precise knife skills hint at the talent he keeps concealed. Meanwhile, Sarah, his wife, is preparing to share news about her pregnancy, while Leon appears more focused on his career. Leon’s attempt to begin again is complicated by Bryant, the executive sous chef whose contempt makes the kitchen a hostile place. When William, a threatening businessman, puts the restaurant under pressure, Leon must choose whether to keep hiding his abilities or use them to protect his new workplace. Reclaiming his craft may help him recover his purpose, but it could also force his buried past into the open and awaken his desire to settle old scores.
