“So rich and romantic that it will leave you woozy.”—Phil De Semlyen, TimeOut

In The Taste of Things, Cook Eugenie (Juliette Binoche) and her boss Dodin (Benoît Magimel) grow fond of one another over 20 years, and their romance gives rise to dishes that impress even the world’s most illustrious chefs. When Dodin is faced with Eugenie’s reluctance to commit, he begins to cook for her in this romantic drama.
