More Detail:

KISS THE COOK is an Uptv Rom-Com currently premiering in the USA, originally released in Canada. The story follows food blogger Kacey Cooke who has dedicated her time to a passion of hers, finding new foods and recipes that are colorful to share with the world. Around the time she discovers that her shares are no longer going up in numbers, she receives an incredible offer to create a cookbook for a publishing company that also needs more public attention.

It is the perfect opportunity for Kacey Cooke and the publishing company, one they will both mutually benefit from! So, what’s the catch? As it turns out, Kacey actually isn’t as great a cook as she is a food blogger. Perfectly enough, the head of the publishing company has a nephew, Gavin Sawyer, who is an actual chef! Gavin had mentioned to his uncle that he wanted to write his own cookbook, so his uncle figured this would be a great starting point.

Kacey will get her own cookbook and attract more followers to her blog, Gavin will get to practice for his own future cookbook, and the publishing company receives better publicity. Sounds like a match made in Heaven! The only thing is, Kacey and Gavin both seem to be stubborn about their own recipes and viewpoints.

Kacey follows her love of color in cooking as it was inspired by her grandmother, and Gavin follows his love of simplicity in cooking with farm fresh foods at the forefront, as inspired by his late mother. Kacey and Gavin are both set in their food ways because of the importance and value of their own families.

Will the two food artists be able to come to an agreement and complement each other’s work? Or, will they run into some issues trying to bring their ideas together?

The production quality of KISS THE COOK is aesthetically pleasing overall. The scenery in each shot is beautiful and vibrant with the use of color. The filming and story execution are well done. For a light romantic comedy, this one does an admirable job of keeping viewers entertained and wanting to know how the story will end. The writing is a little simplistic, but the story is quite pure and heartfelt, which is enjoyable.

KISS THE COOK has a light secular Romantic worldview that focuses on emotional, romantic love. The characters stay true to who they are and what they value, not sacrificing the important things for love, which is a positive take on the worldview. They find true love when they stick to what they believe to be true, learning more about themselves in the process. KISS THE COOK has some light, brief miscellaneous immorality involving lying and stealing, but the movie’s more positive qualities far outweigh this negative content. For example, the move promotes family, friendship, kindness, honesty, and standing up for what is right. KISS THE COOK is a rather pure movie overall, but MOVIEGUIDE® advises caution for younger children.
