will winona ever make it to new york?

When chef and restaurant owner winona ( julia benson) is invited to audition for a cooking show in new york, she packs up the car and heads to nyc. Along the way, thanks to car trouble, she meets up with adam, played by peter benson. Did you notice he has the same last name as julia? They are husband and wife! It's pretty solid. It does have a bit of a hallmark channel feel to it. How important is that audition? Will winona make it to new york? It goes exactly as expected... the traditional speed bumps along the way. I did say it runs like a hallmark channel movie. Directed by claude desrosiers. Written by gemma holdway. And yes, there really is a town called new holland, pennsylvania.

Over 35s - Yay!

I prefer the calmness that many of these pandemic-made movies offer - lots of scenes with limited number of characters. The plot is slightly more original ... sometimes - I'm really not a fan of food-in-the-face, even just a little here. There's nobody nasty - it is different perspectives that cause the tension. It is great to see this genre forget the Must-find-find-love-by-35 scenario and have the leads play their own ages - when we've watched the actors for a while, it's hard to buy into them being younger which sadly is often the casting.

They could do a fun sequel to this, focusing on the Inn rather than the festival.

rice is life and food connects people regardless of their culture

I really liked the film for several reasons; first, the cast, the main actress who is very good, the script especially about the bond between people thanks to the kitchen. However, the main actor is unnatural and there are a few clichés that kept me from appreciating the story more. Indeed, the same ideas are found in the majority of romantic comedies: the sudden appearance of a problem towards the end of the film, quickly resolved, an important statement interrupted, listening to someone speak which often triggers a series of events. It is a shame to fall for these clichés when the script is good and the story interesting even if it is not original: the way of telling the story matters a lot.

So good it didn't seem like Hallmark

You know how they always give us movies with all these amazing Hallmark stars who are nice, shiny and well-known but the stories are always so flat? Well this was such a surprise because this movie was headlined by actors who usually play supporting roles for said stars and there was so much more beauty, depth and warmth. More than I have seen in a hundred star-led Hallmark movies. It was such a pleasant treat and just plain good for the heart. Left me wanting more-in a good way! Highly highly recommend it.

Seasoned With Love - Seasoned to Entertain

This is certainly an unusual picture to find being run today but a curiously refreshing one. At first, I thought I'd end up falling asleep (as some might) then found the theme somehow intriguing. With married-in-real life main stars Julia and Peter Benson performing so convincingly as strangers in a regional town who, against odds, gradually get to know and respect each other being so well done and natural, that it comes as a refreshing relief from the morose nastiness that all too often masquerades as 'entertainment'.

Their youthful co stars, Tori Barban and Kolton Stewart are equally natural and completely likeable, making this a surprisingly gentle and rather well-scripted experience. Recommended for those needing some respite from the ugly blues. Well produced and colorful.
