In a quaint English market town during the 1980s, a divorced mother of two, Pauline Parry, embarks on an unexpected journey that transforms her life. After a serendipitous encounter, she finds herself living above a restaurant, where she discovers her true passion for cooking. This newfound love for food ignites a culinary adventure that takes her from a small village to the vibrant catering scene of Los Angeles.

As Pauline's culinary career flourishes, she navigates the challenges and triumphs of the restaurant world, working in Michelin-starred establishments and eventually making her mark in California's renowned Napa Valley.
