Ett streck av kärlek (2017 Hallmark Movie )
An aspiring chef lands her dream job working for her idol, who then betrays her by stealing her recipes. However, the young culinary enthusiast sets a new goal for herself when she and a charming executive chef work to create a pop-up restaurant.
Nikki Turner has been working as a cook in the Flo Two Diner for a while. But when the diner closes down suddenly, Nikki finds herself without a job. Opportunity comes her way when she gets the chance to work for Holly Hanson, a famous culinary book author with her own restaurant.
Holly Hanson hires Nikki as her assistant. But there is a catch: Nikki can’t cook in the restaurant just yet. Seeing that Nikki is passionate and determined to hone in on her craft. Holly allows Nikki to stay at the restaurant after closing time so that she can work on her recipes and tasty dishes.
However, Holly Hanson isn’t just being nice, she has a plan: to steal Nikki’s recipes by using a hidden camera that will record her every cooking move after hours.
Without her knowledge, Nikki designs and creates the most delicious recipes with the intention of using them someday when she steps into the role of chef. But Nikki’s dream is destroyed when Holly fires her, along with executive chef Paul Delucci, after she catches them on camera in the kitchen after work.
Soon Nikki realizes that hiring and firing her was all part of Holly Hanson’s plan to steal her scrumptious recipes to rebuild her own brand by offering new dishes for her restaurant while passing them off as her own creations.
Paul Delucci develops deep romantic feelings for Nikki and wants to help her come up with the perfect plan to fight back. Together they set up a 3-day opening at Nikki’s old stomping ground–the Flop Two Diner–in the hopes that they will drum up enough support to open permanently.
